What Is A Remote Agent? 

A remote agent is a contact center customer service representative who works from home or in a location not owned by the company. Remote agents operate with company-owned equipment, such as computers and headsets, and are connected to the contact center via the internet. Cloud-based contact center software enables remote agents to work from anywhere. Many contact centers have a 100% remote work policy.
