This may include online courses, live or virtual sessions, and review of reference materials sent by email to ensure compliance with FA’s processes and service standards. Given the frequent product and process updates, staying informed and developing skills may also require consulting the help/resource center to access the latest information and guidelines. • Contributing to Knowledge Base & Improvement- Contribute to the company’s knowledge reference center by helping enhance resources for future cases. Share insights and promote content that aids customer service improvement across the organization. • Work Pace and Performance Management- Manage your work pace and quality to meet performance goals, such as call volume, length of call, quality assurance scores, customer satisfaction, compliance with processes, confidentiality, and professionalism.
