The board of directors of TeleTech Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is soliciting proxies to be used at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held at 10:00 a.m. on June 1, 2007, at TeleTech’s principal offices located at 9197 S. Peoria Street, Englewood, Colorado. This proxy statement contains important information regarding TeleTech’s annual meeting, the proposals on which you are being asked to vote, information you may find useful in determining how to vote and voting procedures.

A number of abbreviations are used in this proxy statement. The term proxy materials includes this proxy statement, the enclosed proxy card, and TeleTech’s annual report for 2006.

The board of directors is sending these proxy materials on or about May 15, 2007.

Who Can Vote

Stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date, April 4, 2007, may vote at the annual meeting. On the record date, we had 75,705,362 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, which were held by 634 record holders. If you hold shares in a stock brokerage account or through a nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee, who is considered the record holder with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee on how to vote and you are also invited to attend the annual meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the meeting unless you first obtain from your broker or nominee a letter recognizing you as the beneficial owner of your shares. Your broker or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use. You are urged to vote by proxy regardless of whether you attend the annual meeting.

How You Can Vote

You can vote your shares if you are represented by proxy or present in person at the annual meeting. If you hold your shares through your broker in “street name,” you may direct your broker or nominee to vote by proxy, but you may not vote in person at the meeting unless you first obtain from your broker or nominee a letter recognizing you as the beneficial owner of your shares. If you return a properly signed proxy card, we will vote your shares as you direct. If your proxy card does not specify how you want to vote your shares, we will vote your shares “FOR” the election of all nominees for director and as recommended by the board with regard to all other matters.

You can also vote your shares electronically as follows:

Votes submitted via the internet or by telephone must be cast by 12:00 a.m. EDT on May 30, 2007. Votes submitted by mail must be received on or before May 26, 2007. Submitting your vote by mail, telephone or via the Internet will not affect your right to vote in person if you decide to attend the 2007 annual meeting.

PLEASE DO NOT RETURN THE ENCLOSED PAPER BALLOT IF YOU ARE VOTING OVER THE INTERNET OR BY TELEPHONE.

Revocation of Proxies

You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the annual meeting by any of the following three methods:


	•	by voting in person at the annual meeting;

	•	by delivering to TeleTech’s secretary a written notice of revocation dated after the proxy; or

	•	by delivering another proxy dated after the previous proxy.

Required Votes

Each share of common stock has one vote on all matters properly brought before the annual meeting. In order to conduct business at the annual meeting, a quorum of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote as of the record date must be present in person or represented by proxy. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy, will be necessary for the election of directors. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy, will be necessary for approval of the other proposals.

Kenneth D. Tuchman, our chairman and chief executive officer and the beneficial owner of approximately 42% of the shares of common stock entitled to vote at the meeting, has indicated that he intends to vote for all persons nominated by the board of directors for election to the board and as recommended by the board with regard to other proposals to be presented at the annual meeting.

Voting Procedures

Votes cast by proxy at the annual meeting will be tabulated by an automatic system administered by ADP Investor Communication Services. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the annual meeting will be counted by the persons appointed by the Company to act as election inspectors for the annual meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes (as described below) are each included in the determination of the number of shares present at the annual meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and are tabulated separately. Abstentions are counted in tabulations of the votes cast on proposals presented to stockholders and except with respect to the election of directors, will have the same effect as negative votes. With regard to the election of directors, votes may be cast in favor or withheld; votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the tabulation of votes and will have no effect. Broker non-votes are not counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal has been approved.

If your shares are held in the name of a broker and you do not return a proxy card, brokerage firms have the authority to vote your non-voted shares on certain routine matters, such as the election of directors and the ratification of auditors.

Cumulative voting is not permitted in the election of directors. Consequently, you are entitled to one vote for each share of TeleTech common stock held in your name for as many persons as there are directors to be elected, and for whose election you have the right to vote.

Costs of Proxy Solicitation

TeleTech will bear the costs of soliciting proxies from its stockholders. Some directors, officers and other employees of TeleTech, not specially employed for this purpose, may solicit proxies, without additional remuneration therefore, by personal interview, mail, telephone or other means of communication. We will request brokers and other fiduciaries to forward proxy soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares of common stock that are held of record by such brokers and fiduciaries and will reimburse such persons for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Admission to the Annual Meeting

If you plan to attend the annual meeting, please mark the appropriate box on the proxy card and return the proxy card promptly. If you are a stockholder of record and arrive at the annual meeting without an admission ticket, you will only be admitted once we verify your share ownership at the stockholders’ admission counter. If you are a beneficial owner, you will only be admitted upon presentation of evidence of your beneficial holdings, such as a bank or brokerage firm account statement.

Stockholder List

A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, at the annual meeting and at our principal office located at 9197 S. Peoria Street, Englewood, Colorado 80112 during normal business hours for a period of at least 10 days prior to the annual meeting.

Nominating and Governance Committee The nominating and governance committee is responsible for, among other things, identifying and recommending to the board of directors qualified candidates for election or appointment to the board of directors, overseeing matters of corporate governance, including the evaluation of board performance and processes and assignment and rotation of board committee members.

Nominations of Directors

In the event that vacancies on the board arise, the nominating and governance committee considers potential candidates for director, which may come to the attention of the nominating and governance committee through current directors, professional executive search firms, shareholders or other persons. The nominating and governance committee will consider candidates for the board recommended by stockholders if the names and qualifications of such candidates are submitted in writing in accordance with the notice provisions for stockholder proposals set forth under the caption “General Information — Next Annual Meeting of Stockholders” in this proxy statement to the corporate secretary of TeleTech, 9197 S. Peoria Street, Englewood, Colorado 80112. The nominating and governance committee considers properly submitted shareholder nominations for candidates for the board of directors in the same manner as it evaluates other nominees. Following verification of the shareholder status of persons proposing candidates, recommendations are aggregated and considered by the nominating and governance committee and the materials provided by a shareholder to the company for consideration of a nominee for director are forwarded to the nominating and governance committee. All candidates are evaluated at meetings of the nominating and governance committee. In evaluating such nominations, the nominating and governance committee seeks to achieve the appropriate balance of industry and business knowledge and experience in light of the function and needs of the board of directors. The nominating and governance committee considers candidates with excellent decision-making ability, business experience, personal integrity and reputation. In addition, the nominating and governance committee recognizes the benefit of a board of directors that reflects the diversity of TeleTech’s stockholders, employees and customers, and the locations in which it operates, and will

seek qualified candidates for nomination and election to the board of directors in order to reflect such diversity. The nominating and governance committee reviews, approves and oversees various corporate governance policies and recommends changes, if any, to the board of directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the outstanding common stock, collectively known as insiders, to file reports with the SEC disclosing their ownership of common stock and changes in such ownership. The rules of the SEC require insiders to provide TeleTech with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that the insiders file with the SEC. Based solely upon TeleTech’s review of copies of Section 16(a) reports received by us, and written representations that no such reports were required to be filed with the SEC, we believe that all of our insiders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them during 2006.

Employment Agreements

Agreement with Kenneth D. Tuchman. TeleTech entered into an employment agreement with Kenneth D. Tuchman, our chief executive officer, effective October 1, 2001. Pursuant to his agreement, Mr. Tuchman is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $250,000. During the term, Mr. Tuchman’s base salary may be increased or decreased in a non-material way at the sole discretion of the board of directors. In September 2004, the board of directors voted to increase Mr. Tuchman’s salary to $350,000. In October 2001, Mr. Tuchman was also granted an option to purchase 420,000 shares of common stock at $6.98 per share. The option vested as to 50% on October 1, 2001 and as to 100% on December 31, 2001. In February 2002, Mr. Tuchman was granted an option to purchase 420,000 shares of common stock at $11.83 per share. The option vested as to 100% on February 25, 2003. In November 2005, Mr. Tuchman was granted an option to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock at $11.35 per share. Pursuant to his agreement, Mr. Tuchman will be entitled to participate in all other employee benefit plans, in each case, on terms and conditions no less favorable than the terms and conditions generally applicable to Mr. Tuchman’s peers.

If, during the term, TeleTech terminates Mr. Tuchman’s employment other than for cause, death or disability or if Mr. Tuchman resigns, we will pay to Mr. Tuchman as severance a sum equal to 24 months of Mr. Tuchman’s then current base salary payable in 24 equal installments and will cause to vest all of Mr. Tuchman’s unvested stock options that would have vested during the 12 months following termination.

If any payments or benefits that Mr. Tuchman receives are determined to be a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, his employment agreement provides for an additional payment to him to restore him to the after-tax position that he would have been in, if the tax had not been imposed.

During Mr. Tuchman’s employment and for a period of three years thereafter, Mr. Tuchman will be subject to non-competition and non-solicitation of employees’ provisions. During the term and thereafter, Mr. Tuchman has agreed not to disclose confidential information or to disparage TeleTech or its affiliates.

Agreement with Dennis J. Lacey. We entered into an employment agreement effective May 5, 2003 with Dennis J. Lacey, our chief financial officer until August, 2006 whereby Mr. Lacey received a base salary of $300,000 with an annual incentive target of 100% of base salary.

Agreement with John R. Troka, Jr. We entered into a letter agreement with John R. Troka, Jr. effective as of December 19, 2001 whereby Mr. Troka received a base salary of $150,000 with an annual incentive target of 25% of base salary. Mr. Troka received subsequent base salary increases since his original letter

agreement. Mr. Troka was appointed as interim chief financial officer as of August 2006 and received a salary increase to $200,000.

Agreement with Brian Delaney. We entered into a letter agreement with Brian Delaney effective as of November 19, 2002 whereby Mr. Delaney received a base salary of $160,000 with an annual incentive target of 25% of base salary. Mr. Delaney has received several promotions since his original letter agreement which now include a base salary of $300,000 and an annual incentive opportunity of 100% of base salary with a stretch target of 150% of base salary.

Agreement with Kamalesh Dwivedi. We entered into a letter agreement with Kamalesh Dwivedi, our chief information officer effective July 7, 2003 whereby Mr. Dwivedi was entitled to receive (i) a base salary of $250,000, (ii) a guaranteed minimum bonus of $75,000 paid six months after start date; (iii) a signing bonus of $30,000 and an annual bonus targeted at 60% of base salary. In December 2006, Mr. Dwivedi’s annual salary was increased to $300,000.

Agreement with Greg Hopkins. We entered into a letter agreement with Gregory Hopkins, executive vice president of sales effective April 12, 2004 whereby Mr. Hopkins received (i) a base salary of $275,000, (ii) a $200,000 signing bonus; (iii) an annual incentive opportunity of 100% of base salary with a stretch target of 200% of base salary.

Agreement with John R. Simon. We entered into a letter agreement with John Simon, our senior vice president of Human Capital until he resigned effective April 13, 2007, effective as of October 21, 1999 whereby Mr. Simon was entitled to a base salary of $130,000 with an annual incentive target of 20% of base salary. Mr. Simon has received several promotions since his original letter agreement and his most recent base salary was $300,000 with an annual incentive opportunity of 100% of base salary with a stretch target of 150% of base salary.

No executive officers named herein other than the CEO and the Vice Chairman have change of control provisions except with respect to options and RSU’s granted under the TeleTech Holdings, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended and provided pursuant thereto.

Executive Non-Equity Incentive Compensation

Non-equity incentive compensation is governed by the management incentive plan. Pursuant to the management incentive plan, cash performance bonuses for executives are determined and approved annually by the compensation committee based on achievement of an operating income goal set by the board of directors. Each participant’s award can vary from zero to 150% of their incentive target. In addition to operating income goals, TeleTech also considers completion of strategic projects and demonstration of TeleTech’s success principles including innovation to continuously improve performance, open communication, hands on business problem solving, wise business decisions and business ownership.

Executive Change of Control and Termination Arrangements

TeleTech’s standard option agreement for employees who are employed at the vice president level or higher contains a provision whereby the vesting of such stock options (which typically have a four or five year vesting period) would accelerate by a period of two years immediately upon the occurrence of a change of control.

In January 2007, we began issuing restricted stock units or RSUs in place of stock options for employees. The customary RSU agreements contain a change of control provision whereby upon a change in control, any unvested performance vesting RSUs or time vesting RSUs that vest in excess of 12 months from the effective date of the change of control shall be treated as time vesting RSUs and shall be accelerated such that they shall vest on the one year anniversary of the effective date of the change of control. Any performance vesting RSUs or time vesting RSUs scheduled to vest within 12 months of the effective date of the change of control shall continue to vest pursuant to the schedule set forth in the RSU agreements.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

We have entered into agreements pursuant to which Avion, LLC and AirMax, LLC provide certain aviation flight services to and as requested by the Company. Such services include the use of an aircraft and flight crew. Kenneth D. Tuchman, our chief executive officer and chairman of the board, has a direct beneficial ownership interest equal to 100% in Avion. During 2006, we paid an aggregate of $1,034,483 to Avion for services provided to TeleTech. Mr. Tuchman also purchases services from AirMax from time to time and provides short-term loans to AirMax. During 2006, the Company paid to AirMax an aggregate of $1,397,302 for services provided to the Company. The audit committee of the board of directors reviewed these transactions quarterly and determined that the fees charged by Avion and Airmax are at fair market value.

During 2006, we utilized the services of Salesforce.com. Shirley Young, one of our directors, is also a director of Salesforce.com. During 2006, we paid approximately $372,619 to Salesforce.com. Ms. Young’s only remuneration from Salesforce.com consists of board fees for services as a director of Salesforce.com.

TeleTech believes that all transactions disclosed above have been, and TeleTech’s board of directors intends that any future transactions with its officers, directors, affiliates or principal stockholders will be, on terms that are no less favorable to TeleTech than those that are obtainable in arm’s length transactions with unaffiliated third parties.

All related party transactions are reviewed annually by the audit committee and are compared to other vendors’ competitive bids to ensure that the terms with such related parties are fair and equitable. Upon approval, the audit committee submits their recommendation to the full board of directors for review and approval. All related party transactions named herein have been approved by the audit committee and board of directors and deemed to be fair and equitable.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933, referred to as the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act that might incorporate future filings, including this proxy statement, in whole or in part, the reports of the audit and compensation committees presented below and the performance graph following the reports shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or “filed” with the SEC or subject to liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act except to the extent that TeleTech specifically incorporates any of them into a document filed under the Securities Act or Exchange Act.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Compensation, Discussion & Analysis

Role of Compensation Committee

The compensation committee of TeleTech is charged with and has the following responsibilities (i) consider and make recommendations to the board of directors regarding the chief executive officer’s salary, annual incentives and bonuses, perquisites, benefits, stock option grants, and employment agreements and other compensation matters, and all changes thereto; (ii) review with TeleTech management and approve the compensation policy for executive officers, and such other managers as directed by the board; (iii) consider and approve all other executive officers’ (as defined by Section 16 of the Exchange Act) salaries, annual incentives and bonuses, perquisites, benefits, stock option grants, RSU grants, and employment agreements and compensation matters, and all changes thereto; (iv) consider and approve the terms of offers of employment for all Section 16 officers and employees that shall report directly to the chief executive officer; (v) evaluate the need for, and provisions of, employment contracts/severance arrangements for the chief executive officer and other executive officers; (vi) evaluate the performance of the office of the chief executive officer (and such other executive officers as deemed appropriate) in light of TeleTech’s current business environment and strategic objectives; (vii) review with management and approve recommendations with regard to aggregate

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Policies

Elements of Executive Compensation

Our primary compensation philosophy is: (i) to develop a compensation package that attracts highly qualified executives to work for TeleTech; (ii) to provide appropriate incentives and to reward superior executive performance that creates long-term investor value; and (iii) to encourage executives who deliver that performance to remain with TeleTech and to continue that level of performance. Under the supervision of the compensation committee, TeleTech has developed and implemented compensation policies, plans and programs that are designed to closely align the financial interests of the senior executives with those of our stockholders in order to enhance the long-term growth and profitability of our company and therefore the creation of long-term stockholder value. Our compensation programs provide a balanced mix of cash, incentive and equity-based compensation that we believe meets these goals.

Executive Compensation Policies

We approve all of the policies, plans and programs under which compensation is paid to executive management. We strive to ensure that executive compensation relates to the measures of TeleTech’s financial performance that are important to investors, such as revenue, EBIT, and operating income as well as completion of strategic projects and demonstration of success principles including innovation to continuously improve performance, open communication, hands on business problem solving, wise business decisions and business ownership. We identify, quantify and assess performance goals of executive management and annually review the collective and individual performance of these executives.

The main components used to support these objectives are base salary, annual bonus, stock awards and certain other benefits. The combined mix of these pay elements is what allows us to provide a competitive total rewards package to our executives. To date, we have not specified a target percentage of the overall compensation package to be represented by the various compensation elements but equity compensation represents the largest component. For each element of compensation, our strategy has been to examine peer group compensation practices and set target awards around the 50th percentile of the peer group for each element of compensation. This is the same target pay position for all our employee levels. However, we have historically approved actual compensation levels for officers above and below the 50th percentile target as these approvals were based on individual and company performance relative to internal goals and the peer group to ensure an appropriate pay-for-performance alignment. Moreover, the heavy emphasis on variable, or at-risk compensation, helps calibrate actual compensation to performance since executives do not receive value if TeleTech does not meet its performance objectives.

Overall Factors Considered in Making Specific Compensation Decisions

Our executive compensation program is designed around five overreaching principles:


	1.	Structure compensation programs with a significant portion of variable, or at-risk, compensation to ensure that the actual compensation realized by executive officers is directly and demonstrably linked to individual and company performance, such that actual executive officer compensation is significantly below target in low-performing years and above-target in high-performing years.

	2.	Offer market competitive compensation opportunities that will allow us to attract and retain executive officers capable of leading us to the fulfillment of our business objectives.

	3.	Ensure that our executive officers are focused on individual operational goals to build the foundation for our longer-term success.

	4.	Align the interests of executive officers and stockholders to achieve long-term stock price performance by incentivizing executive officers through equity compensation.

	5.	Maintain an egalitarian culture with respect to compensation programs, such that, generally, all employees are eligible to participate in the same programs as the executive officers.

We retain the services of independent compensation consultants to review and benchmark our compensation policies and results. An independent consultant provides additional assurance that our programs are reasonable and consistent with our company’s objectives. We regularly meet in executive session without any management or employee directors present.

Compensation Benchmarking

We engage an independent consultant on at least an annual basis to benchmark our executives’ compensation results to those companies in our peer group to assess the competitiveness of our executive compensation. The peer group we examined in 2006 included 12 BPO and service provider companies that were similar to us with respect to several metrics, principally including: business strategy, labor market competitors, market capitalization, revenue and number of employees. The peer group companies include some, but not all, of the companies that are included in the market indices in the graph.

The companies in the peer group have the following profile (as of December 2006):

Revenue

Market Capitalization

Employee Size

Industry Sector

Range

Median

1.3B

377 to
58,000

8,986

TeleTech

$1.2B

$1.7B

47,000

In addition, we evaluated the pay practices of a number of BPO and service provider companies that are larger than us with respect to market capitalization, revenue and employees. The purpose of this evaluation is to understand compensation practices of industry leaders to help us plan for our next stage of anticipated growth. These pay levels are reviewed for informational purposes and are not included in the market comparables used to make compensation decisions.

We review the companies in our peer group at least annually and make adjustments as necessary to ensure the group continues to properly reflect the market in which we compete for talented executives. We also review annually the executive pay practices of other similarly situated companies as reported in industry surveys and reports from compensation consulting firms. We request customized reports of these surveys so that the compensation data reflects the practices of companies that are similar to us. This information is also considered when making recommendations for each element of compensation.

Elements of Compensation

Annual Base Salaries

The chief executive officer has authority to hire all members of executive management, subject to the compensation committee’s approval of the compensation to be paid to such executives. Subject to the approval of the compensation committee, the chief executive officer also determines the compensation payable to persons offered executive level employment and annual salary increases for members of executive management. The board, at the recommendation of the compensation committee, determines adjustments to the chief executive officer’s compensation and evaluates the performance of the chief executive officer. In determining and approving the amount of compensation for executive management, the chief executive officer and the compensation committee consider factors such as the executive’s contribution to overall operating effectiveness, strategic success and profitability; the executive’s role in developing and maintaining key client relationships; the level of responsibility, scope and complexity of such executive’s position relative to other executive management; and the executive’s leadership growth and management development over the past year. Additionally, as stated earlier, compensation is determined in a manner consistent with remaining competitive with that paid to industries that we believe have financial, operational and risk factors sufficiently similar to the Company and to provide an adequate degree of financial stability to those individuals who are crucial to our business both strategically and operationally. The salaries of the named executive officers, which are listed in the Summary Compensation Table located elsewhere in this proxy statement, are governed primarily by written agreements or the terms contained in offers of employment.

Short Term/Annual Incentive Compensation

Management Incentive Plan

TeleTech pays annual incentive compensation to executive officers under the management incentive plan. Pursuant to the management incentive plan, cash performance bonuses for executives are determined and approved annually by the compensation committee based on achievement of an operating income goal set by the board of directors. Each participant’s award can vary from zero to 200% of their incentive target. In addition to operating income goals, the Company also considers completion of strategic projects and demonstration of TeleTech’s success principles including innovation to continuously improve performance, open communication, hands on business problem solving, wise business decisions and business ownership. In February 2006, the compensation committee conducted annual performance reviews of all executive management.

In December 2006, the compensation committee approved the 2007 management incentive plan which supersedes all previous incentive/bonus plans for eligible participants.

Sales Incentive Plan (Sales Executive)

The TeleTech sales incentive plan (sales executive) is intended to reward sales executives for their substantial efforts in securing profitable long term revenue under a new logo contract (i.e. a new client introduction with no pre-existing relationship with TeleTech) and to reward sales executives for their continued efforts in ensuring customer satisfaction under new logo contracts they are responsible for securing.

Incentive payments are based on securing new logos business in four business areas. Payments are calculated based upon projected annualized revenue, the length of the contract and other financial and strategic measures.

Sales Incentive Plan (Client Executive)

The TeleTech sales incentive plan (client executive) is intended to reward sales executives for their substantial efforts in maintaining and growing long term revenue under existing client relationships and to

reward sales executives for their continued efforts in ensuring customer satisfaction and growing accounts.

Payments are calculated based upon two components including quarterly booked revenue incentive targeted at 50% of participant’s base pay based on meeting quarterly booked revenue goals for assigned clients and new program incentive based on the successful generation of new contracts for assigned clients.

General Manager Incentive Plan

The general manager incentive plan is designed to motivate the eligible executives to achieve the revenue, operating income, and EBIT goals and objectives contained in TeleTech’s strategic plan as approved by the board of directors for each region or business unit for which they are responsible. The plan includes an annual incentive target of 100% of base pay with a stretch goal of 200% of base pay calculated based upon metrics which set a target based upon annual revenue achieved and annual EBIT percentage.

Site Management Incentive Plan

The site management incentive plan is designed to motivate each site’s management team to achieve the goals and objectives of TeleTech’s strategic plan. The plan is applicable to all full time regular employees hired prior to the start of a performance period and dedicated to one site. The plan is designed to generate an incentive pool for each site based on the relative achievement of its monthly employee related gross margin goal. Payouts under the plan occur in a two-step process: (i) an incentive pool is created based on the level of achievement of our pre-set employee related gross margin goals; and (ii) individual incentive payouts are determined based on each employee’s relative achievement of goals and objectives, impact on business and financial results and the available incentive pool.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Long term incentive compensation is primarily comprised of equity based incentive in the form of (i) options and more recently (ii) in the form of RSUs.

Stock-based compensation is an important element of our compensation policy. Stock options have generally been offered to induce an executive to accept employment with TeleTech. The compensation committee believed that stock options, which vest over time and are subject to forfeiture, align the interests of executive management with the interests of TeleTech’s stockholders. In February 2007, we moved to a RSU program. Under the RSU program, shares of restricted stock are granted to eligible employees. RSUs vest in two ways: time based and performance based. The RSU program operates under the same philosophy as stock options, and the compensation committee also believes that substantial equity ownership by individuals in leadership positions ensure that these individuals will remain focused on building stockholder value. An executive officer level committee, consisting of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and the executive vice president of global human capital, has the authority to administer the stock option and RSU plans with respect to grants of not more than 100,000 RSUs to employees who are not executive officers. Any grants in excess of 100,000 RSUs or to an executive officer must be approved by the compensation committee.

In December 2004, the board of directors approved the long term incentive plan under which executive management and other key leaders were eligible. Under the long term incentive plan, participants were eligible to earn an incentive award upon completion of the 2007 fiscal year provided the company met certain revenue and EBIT targets approved by the board of directors. In February 2007, the long term incentive plan was replaced by the RSU program and participating individuals received grants of RSUs which contain vesting based upon company performance and time.

Share Retention and Securities Trading Policy

We believe that to the extent our executive officers hold significant ownership in TeleTech, their interests will remain aligned with those of our stockholders, and they will be appropriately motivated to enhance TeleTech’s performance and value. We encourage our executive officers and board members to hold a significant ownership interest. TeleTech is currently reviewing several options for a stock ownership program including: (i) a multiple of salary; (ii) a fixed number of shares; (iii) a retention ratio; and (iv) a combination of a retention ratio and multiple of salary. The compensation committee expects to implement a share retention plan during 2007. Our executive officers and directors are also subject to a pre-clearance policy whereby directors and executive officers and any other persons designated by the legal department as being subject to TeleTech’s pre-clearance procedures, together with their family members, may not engage in any transaction involving TeleTech securities (including a stock plan transaction such as an option exercise, a gift, a loan or pledge or hedge, a contribution to a trust, or any other transfer) without first obtaining pre-clearance of the transaction from the legal department. A request for pre-clearance is submitted to the legal department which then determines whether the transaction may proceed and, if so, assist in complying with reporting requirements. All directors, executive officers and key personnel are also subject to TeleTech’s insider trading policy and regular blackout periods thereunder.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer

Mr. Tuchman was originally paid a base salary of $250,000. In September 2004, the board of directors increased Mr. Tuchman’s salary to $350,000. Mr. Tuchman also received a cash bonus for 2005 of $500,000 that was paid in February 2006. Based upon its review of proxy statements filed by similarly situated companies, the compensation committee believes this compensation is in line with the compensation paid to similarly situated chief executive officers. The board reviews Mr. Tuchman’s performance once annually.

Fiscal year 2006 compensation for Mr. Tuchman can be categorized as follows:

Value of remaining stock awards due to assumed termination(2)	$	2,506,000
Total value of severance and change in control	$	24,716,529


⁽¹⁾		Upon a change of control, any unvested portion of the option that is scheduled to vest within 24 months following the date of the change of control becomes effective shall vest and become immediately exercisable as of the effective date of the change of control. Value is calculated based upon the closing stock price of $23.88 as of December 31, 2006.


⁽²⁾		If Mr. Tuchman’s employment is terminated within 24 months following a change of control, then the entire amount of the option shall become 100% vested and immediately exercisable. Value is calculated based upon the closing stock price of $23.88 as of December 31, 2006.

Review of All Components of Executive Compensation

Limitations on the Deductibility of Compensation. Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable Treasury regulations, no tax deduction is allowed for annual compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the five most highly compensated executive officers. Performance-based compensation that has been disclosed to and approved by stockholders, by a majority of the vote in a separate stockholder vote before the payment of such compensation, is excluded from the $1 million limit if, among other requirements, the compensation is payable only upon attainment of pre-established, objective performance goals and the board committee that establishes such goals consists only of “outside directors” as defined for purposes of Section 162(m). Each of the members of the compensation committee qualify as “outside directors.” The compensation committee intends to maximize the extent of tax deductibility of executive compensation under the provisions of Section 162(m) so long as doing so is compatible with its determinations as to the most appropriate methods and approaches for the design and delivery of compensation to executive officers.

Benefits We provide benefit programs to executive officers and to other employees. The following table generally identifies such benefit plans and identifies those employees who are eligible to participate:


Benefit Plan	Executive Officers	Certain Managers	Full Time Employees

⁽¹⁾		We provide company-paid long term disability insurance to eligible full-time employees payable beginning the 91st day of disability in an amount equal to 60% of monthly salary to a maximum of $10,000. Short term disability is also available to employees on a voluntary basis at their own cost.

⁽²⁾		Accident insurance provides a specific cash benefit to cover costs resulting from a physical injury due to an accident that occurs away from the workplace. This is available to employees on a voluntary basis.

⁽³⁾		Supplemental life and AD&D insurance is also available.

⁽⁴⁾		In December 2006, TeleTech approved the 2007 management incentive plan which supersedes all previous incentive/bonus plans for eligible participants.

⁽⁵⁾		The performance period for the long term incentive plan was January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2007 and funding was based on extraordinary revenue and profitability growth goals by December 31, 2007. In February 2007, the plan was replaced by the RSU program whereby individuals eligible to participate in the plan received grants of RSUs for which vesting is 2/3 performance based and 1/3 time based.


⁽⁶⁾		The Company has implemented a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that allows executive officers and certain management-level employees to defer receipt of certain salary and cash bonus payments on a pre-tax basis.

We believe perquisites for executive officers should be extremely limited in scope and value. As a result, TeleTech has historically given nominal perquisites. The following table generally illustrates the perquisites we do and do not provide and identifies those employees who may be eligible to receive them:


Types of Perquisites	Executive Officers	Certain Managers	Full Time Employees

REPORT OF THE
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The compensation committee has reviewed and discussed the compensation discussion and analysis with management. Based on such review and discussions, the committee recommended to the board of directors, and the board has approved, the inclusion of the compensation discussion and analysis in this proxy statement.

COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Ruth Lipper

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

Management is responsible for financial reporting including the company’s system of internal control, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. TeleTech’s independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. Our responsibility is to monitor and review these processes. It is not our duty or responsibility to conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures. We are not employees of TeleTech and we may not be, and we may not represent ourselves to be or to serve as, accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or auditing. Therefore, we have relied, without independent verification, on management’s representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and on the representations of the independent auditors included in their report on the financial statements. Our oversight does not provide us with an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, our considerations and discussions with management and the independent auditors do not assure that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or that the audit of the financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.

We perform the following functions:


	•	provide an open avenue of communication among the independent auditor, the vice president of internal audit and the board of directors.

	•	oversee the adequacy of internal controls and financial reporting process and the reliability of the financial statements.

	•	confirm and assure the independence of the independent auditors.

	•	review and approve the provision by the independent auditors of all permissible non-audit services.

	•	oversee the function, adequacy and progress of the internal audit department.

	•	conduct or authorize investigations into any matters within the audit committee’s scope of responsibility.

	•	review and approve the establishment and compliance with TeleTech’s code of conduct.

	•	review and approve all related-party transactions.

We meet with management periodically to consider the adequacy of the internal controls and the objectivity of TeleTech’s financial reporting. We discuss these matters with the independent auditors and with appropriate TeleTech financial personnel, including the vice president of internal audit.

We are also directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm and review periodically their performance and independence from management.

The directors who serve on the committee are all “Independent” for purposes of the NASD standards. The board of directors has determined that none of us has a relationship with TeleTech that may interfere with our independence from TeleTech and its management.

The independent auditors audit the annual financial statements prepared by management, express an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of TeleTech in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and discuss with us any issues they believe should be raised with us.

This year, we reviewed the financial statements and met with both management and Ernst & Young LLP, the independent auditors for 2006, to discuss those financials statements. Management has represented to us that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have received from and discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the written disclosure and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and have discussed with Ernst & Young LLP such firm’s independence from TeleTech. We also discussed with Ernst & Young LLP any matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as amended.

Based on these reviews and discussions, we recommended to the board that the audited financial statements be included in TeleTech’s annual report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for filing with the SEC.

On May 7, 2007 the audit committee was notified by Ernst & Young that they were declining to stand for re-election as the Company’s auditor for the year ending December 31, 2007. Ernst & Young completed the procedures specified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for a review of the interim financial information as described in AU 722, Interim Financial Information on the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. During the two years ended December 31, 2006 December 31, 2005, the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and the period through May 9, 2007, there were no disagreements between the Company and Ernst & Young on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure that, if not resolved to Ernst & Young’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the matter in connection with its report on our consolidated financial statements for the relevant year. Ernst & Young’s reports on TeleTech’s financial statements for the two years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the first quarter 2007, the audit committee reviewed formal competitive proposals and met with several independent registered public accounting firms. On May 9, 2007, upon the recommendation of the audit committee, the board of directors approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or PwC, as TeleTech’s new independent registered principal accounting firm. PwC’s appointment takes effect for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, and for all interim periods therein beginning with the second quarter ending June 30, 2007. It is expected that representatives of both Ernst & Young and PwC will be present at the annual meeting to respond to appropriate questions of stockholders, and representatives of both E&Y and PwC will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

Principal Registered Public Accounting Firm

On May 7, 2007, the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) that it is declining to stand for re-election as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2007. Ernst & Young will perform the procedures specified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for a review of the interim financial information as described in AU 722, Interim Financial Information on the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Ernst & Young completed its review on May 9, 2007.

During the two years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and for the period through May 9, 2007, there were no disagreements between the Company and Ernst & Young on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure that, if not resolved to Ernst & Young’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the matter in connection with its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the relevant year.

Ernst & Young’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

Ernst & Young’s report on the December 31, 2006 financial statements included a reference to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123^® effective January 1, 2006.

On May 7, 2007, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, after reviewing competitive proposals from several independent registered public accounting firms during the first quarter of 2007 as a part of its periodic review and corporate governance practices, determined to engage PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm beginning May 9, 2007.

During the two years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and for the period through May 9, 2007, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted with PwC with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided by PwC to the Company that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue or (ii) any matter that was the subject of either a disagreement as defined in Item 3.04 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in Item 3.04(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services

In accordance with the audit committee’s charter, the audit committee has established a policy to pre-approve audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm as follows:

Any and all services to be provided by TeleTech’s external audit firm must be approved by the audit committee. Any director, officer or employee of the company proposing to engage the services of TeleTech’s external audit firm for any reason (regardless of scope of the project or associated costs) must submit a request for approval, in writing, to TeleTech’s corporate controller. The corporate controller will review the request and, if necessary, obtain additional information from the requestor.

If the proposed services fall into one of the specified prohibited services categories as set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the corporate controller will deny the request.

Both the corporate controller and the assistant general counsel will review requests that are not clearly determined to fall into the prohibited services category. Requests that are approved by the corporate controller and assistant general counsel will then be forwarded to the corporate chief financial officer for further review.

Requests that are approved by the corporate chief financial officer will be forwarded to the audit committee chairperson (projects with a total expected cost of less than or equal to $100,000) or to the audit committee (projects with a total expected cost of more than $100,000) by the assistant general counsel. The audit committee chairperson reports all pre-approvals to the full audit committee at each regularly scheduled meeting and all such pre-approvals are ratified by the full audit committee.

The corporate controller will be responsible for tracking the status of all requests and for reporting the final disposition to the requestor and to the assistant general counsel. The assistant general counsel will be responsible for maintaining documentation supporting the disposition of all requests. No contracts or engagement letters may be signed and no work may commence until the requisite written approval has been received.

PROPOSAL 2:

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

In accordance with its charter, the audit committee has selected the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, to serve as TeleTech’s auditors for the year 2007 and recommends to the stockholders that they ratify that appointment.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The board of directors and the audit committee recommend that you vote “FOR” Proposal 2.
