Jackson National Life Insurance Company (Jackson®), the main operating subsidiary of Jackson Financial Inc.¹ (NYSE: JXN), was recognized with four awards from Service Quality Measurement Group, Inc. (SQM)² for excellence in contact center service in 2022. In addition to earning the “Highest Customer Service — Financial Industry” award for achieving the highest first-call resolution (FCR) score in the market, Jackson was also named a “Call Center of the Year Finalist” for receiving high ratings in customer and employee experience among a field of over 500 leading international contact centers.

“It’s an honor to once again receive this recognition from SQM, which is a testament to the dedication of Jackson’s contact center associates to consistently deliver the world class service Jackson’s customers deserve and have come to expect,” said Laura Hanson, Senior Vice President of Operations at Jackson. “Exceptional customer service remains critical to Jackson’s mission and long-term strategy of helping more Americans approaching retirement achieve financial freedom for life, and these awards demonstrate our continued commitment to providing best in class service to our customers.”

Jackson’s outstanding service also earned it the Call Center World Class First Call Resolution Certification, which recognizes an 80 percent or higher rate of solving customers’ issues on the first call. In addition, Jackson received high marks from its associates with its ninth World Class Employee Experience award, which is based on 50 percent or more of employees rating their overall experience working in the contact center as “very satisfied.”

“SQM is extremely proud of the outstanding world class performance that Jackson has achieved,” said Nader Ghattas, Chief CX Officer, SQM Group. “Over the past eight years, Jackson has consistently either won, or been a finalist for the Call Center of the Year Award, which recognizes the top three of the more than five hundred contact centers that we benchmark annually. We wish to congratulate them on this truly outstanding performance.”

SQM’s awards recognize top performance based on customer feedback on his or her service experience when calling the call center, including satisfaction with the customer service representative and resolution of the call. Feedback comes from the customers who contacted Jackson as well as employees who work in a contact center. SQM benchmarks more than 500 leading North American contact centers annually and has conducted benchmarking studies since 1996. The 2022 awards are based on studies from Jan. 1, 2022 to Dec. 31, 2022.
