A screen-lock routine for shared offshore call center work areas
Protect customer records during breaks, seat changes, and supervisor questions.
Lock the workstation whenever it is no longer under the agent’s direct control, even for a brief question across the room. A headset left at the desk does not protect an open customer record.
Before changing seats, close or secure active sessions according to the approved process. Never share credentials to save login time, and do not photograph a screen as a shortcut for carrying work to another station.
Supervisors should provide a safe way to request help without requiring an unattended open case. Automatic timeouts support the routine but do not replace the agent’s deliberate lock.
Review lock events alongside workstation layout, timeout settings, access logs, and observed practice. Focus on fixing control gaps and repeated exposure risks rather than rewarding raw activity counts.
