The SLA also covers terms and conditions related to the work and data privacy. If a client requires ongoing work, over an agreed period, Way With Words also usually provides a dedicated MTP team with management oversight, recruitment, selection, assessment, training processes and any other logistical assistance to aid the bespoke requirement.
