On the matter of legality we can start by saying that yes call recording within a business on company owned phones is completely legal. As for the appropriateness of taking such a step, we will delve in further.
The Benefits Of Call Recording
Call recording provides some instant benefits to any business wise enough to put it into place. It allows business owners to review the phone calls that are flowing through their business. This in turn means that behaviors on the phone can be reviewed and changes can be made as needed. It also helps with analytics.
Reviewing how many phone calls come into a business, what time of day those calls come in, and what are the common questions that are being asked by callers.
All of this information is useful for formulating new plans and policies.
