The official project work location is 2 N. LaSalle St., downtown Chicago.

The Voice CSR role may be eligible for remote work only if the individual meets and continuously maintains all Remote Workplace and Technology Requirements outlined below.

Remote work status is conditional and subject to ongoing compliance. Remote eligibility is not guaranteed and may be revoked at any time based on performance, compliance, or technology requirements, with reassignment to onsite work at 2 N. LaSalle St., Chicago.

All newly hired remote employees are required to report to the downtown Chicago office after hire to pick up company-issued equipment and complete one (1) day of mandatory in-person training. Travel to the onsite location is a condition of employment.

Remote employees may be required to report onsite at any time for business needs, including but not limited to equipment replacement, equipment repair, retraining, performance remediation, compliance review, or operational requirements.

Remote Workplace and Technology Requirements

Remote work is a privilege, not an entitlement. Individuals must meet and continuously maintain all Remote Workplace and Technology Requirements. Failure to do so may result in immediate reassignment to onsite work at 2 N. LaSalle St., downtown Chicago.

Technology Requirements

NTT DATA will provide a company-issued computer and headset. New employees may temporarily use a personal computer to attend virtual training until company equipment is deployed.

Employees are fully responsible for the care, protection, and security of all company-issued equipment and must return all equipment immediately upon separation in accordance with company protocols.

Failure to return equipment may result in collection actions and/or additional administrative consequences.

Stable, reliable, wired internet connectivity is a business-critical requirement and is non-negotiable.

Technical Performance and Issue Management

Management actively monitors technical performance, downtime, and system availability.

Remote employees must adhere to all technical support procedures, troubleshooting protocols, and escalation processes without exception.

Chronic connectivity issues, recurring internet instability, repeated technical disruptions, or excessive downtime that interfere with job performance will result in corrective action.

If remote technical reliability does not meet operational standards, remote work privileges may be revoked and the employee will be reassigned to full-time onsite work.

Remote Workspace Requirements

Employees must maintain a dedicated, professional workspace capable of supporting uninterrupted, business-grade customer service.

The workspace must be a permanent, fixed location used daily for work duties.

Employees must work in an environment free from distractions that interfere with service delivery.

Background noise, interruptions from individuals or pets, and environmental disruptions must be minimized.

Employees must work from the same approved location consistently unless prior management approval is obtained.

Any change in work location requires advance approval, and the new location must fully meet all Remote Workplace and Technology Requirements.

Remote Reliability Standard

Remote employees must maintain the same level of operational reliability, performance consistency, and service quality as onsite staff.

Employees must consistently meet required performance standards for Availability, Responsiveness, Average Handle Time (AHT), and all zero-tolerance, business-critical Service Reliability Evaluation (SRE) standards.

Repeated internet outages, unstable connections, technology failures, excessive downtime, or workspace disruptions are not acceptable.

If management determines that remote reliability or performance standards are not consistently met, remote eligibility may be revoked and the employee might be reassigned to full-time onsite work at 2 N. LaSalle St., downtown Chicago.
