Beware of TDOs!



Training Development Officers or TDOs are the people who give assistance to agents who are having a hard time handling their calls. They provide agents with the tools they need to complete each call successfully. If an agent can't handle a difficult call then he can transfer the call to a TDO.

Besides giving assistance and taking transfer calls, TDOs are also reponsible for the agents' compliance to company policies and procedures in order to maintain an orderly and achievement-oriented work environment. If an agent is caught violating the policies, he will be warned or issued a violation slip by a TDO. Agents who commit the same violation within the 90-day period will have their corrective actions escalated to the next level. This repeated violation can lead to termination.
