Table 1 note 1

Justification as to why the target was not met:

In early 2019 to 2020, the CCC was in its busiest time, tax season. The distribution of calls during this high period was unevenly distributed, resulting in one area significantly reducing their service standard. In addition, the high attrition rate was well above the hiring cycle. Following a review of the hiring process, the CCC implemented (Spring) a LEAN hiring process that significantly reduced timelines. Combined with a regular schedule of hiring blitzes, the CCC was able to reach its staffing levels over the summer, resulting in a steady increase in the service standard from September until its stabilization above 80% in November and the months after.
