The Netherlands

In a non-Olympic year, our Team Leaders at the DSL Department for one of our clients decided to organize their own Summer Games. During August and September all agents engaged in a multifaceted contest to be the champion. Yes, it was important to take part in the games, but winning was particularly interesting because of the great prizes that had been promised. The agents could gain points in several fields, such as customer satisfaction, quality, conversion and efficiency. These were weighted, customer satisfaction being the most important metric. Actions like this are great fun.

Working for an international organization is a great privilege. When I joined Transcom in 2010, I was quickly made aware of the scale and worldwide nature of my new employer. Soon I understood why it’s so important to be comfortable communicating in English, if you want to work here at Transcom. Not only do we have support departments localized all over the globe; sharing knowledge goes beyond national levels. I myself learned a lot when I visited my colleagues in Fredrikstad, Norway, about a year ago.
