Dear Friends:
I’m a call center professional and am presently working in my third call center as a supervisor. I have already worked in two metros in various call centers.
Can we develop some standard work rules for agents working in call centers based on outbound (telesales, collections,etc) and inbound (customer care,etc) so that atleast some labour rules are followed while making agents work.
Also, do call centers come under Shops and Establishments Act. If so then what are the rights of agents working in call centers?
This is very important because, ample manpower in this country suitable for this industry has already lead to its being exploited (compared to work conditions in the same industry abroad).
Certain protocols need to be formulated which have to be followed by call centers…
Has a beginning being made in this direction?

Pappu
