16th September 2002 at 09:48 #13764VivianGuestI’m interested too, but more in terms of call centres that provide chat services, what policies can you implement to prevent the CSR’s from disclosing the location of the centre or meeting up with the callers? I know this is there personal affairs after hours, but i would like to include some clause to that extent.
23rd December 2002 at 15:51 #13765RefilweGuestAm interested too, more in terms of a small call centre that deals with Procurement of Maintenance Contractors in the Properties Industry. Would it be appropriate if I extract something from the company’s Code of Business Practice or what needs to be specific pertaining to call centres?

19th June 2003 at 17:21 #13770Gene ReynoldsGuestGuys… I think it’s a good idea, but frankly, I think that this “code of conduct” should be taken a step further and established a code not only for the agent to follow, but also for the employer to follow as well.
I suggest establishing something of a Call centre charter, where you list out no more than, say 8 to 10 items for the agent to follow and then follow that with 8 to 10 items that the business in return will adhere to.
Personally, it would feel far more balanced to the potential employee who will be working in your business.
20th June 2003 at 12:16 #13771RefilweGuestI agree with Rene. Most employers has a “Code of Business Conduct” in addition to the Vision and Mission statements. Concern is that this are ussually never revised/follow up on regular basis, hence a way can be investigated to link them into a Call Center Charter.
On the other side, there is an opportunity to establish/draw a Service Level Agreementwith all the business units that the Call Center interface with on regular basis. The agreement needs to be signed off by “all” top level management, and be pro actively espoused as such!
Service Level Agreement in this case would encompass all from Recruitment to Service Delivery including Support Services!
i would feel this will balnce the scale somewhat
