TTEC at home is a unique virtual work lifestyle for individuals who might have traditionally considered working in a customer contact or engagement center providing customer service, technical support or other support services such as chat or social media. The TTEC technology enables associates to work from the comfort of their own home, while ensuring the superior services, security, confidentiality, and assurances that our clients expect for their customers.

To be successful as a TTEC at home associate, you must have a strong working knowledge of computers and be comfortable using both the Internet and e-mail. A computer skills assessment is conducted as part of the application process. For those hired, we provide training materials and certification tests to prepare you to meet the more specific operational requirements of the client project you are assigned to once you are a TTEC at home associate.

In general, most work from home roles do require a Windows-based PC, high speed internet, and a headset. The technical requirements do change from time-to-time. Check out the requirements here.

The TTEC at home platform is built to support Windows-based PCs only. Apple/MAC computers, Chromebook, or tablets are not supported at this time.

You can use wireless internet as long as it meets the speed and stability requirements. You can use Home Wi-FI only on specific client assignments. Wireless access points need to be configured with strong encryption (AES WPA2 at a minimum).

Once hired, your talent acquisition team will work with you to determine the most appropriate project based on your skills, experience and your hours of availability.

Working at home for TTEC at home is just like working inside of a traditional contact center where you clock in and out. While you are on schedule, you will receive constant interactions and must be at your computer to receive them. Of course, you will have normally scheduled breaks where you can handle personal items such as having your lunch or managing simple in-home chores.

We will help get the answer! All TTEC at home associates are assigned to a Trainer or Team Lead who will be available to answer questions and assist you throughout your shift via chat support. There is comprehensive training, a wide network of support, a comprehensive knowledge base, TTEC University, a robust intuitive internal social media platform and much more. We’re here to help!
