Item 5.02(e)   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
At a meeting of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of TeleTech Holdings, Inc. held on February 27, 2008, the Committee approved the following:
  1.   The 2008 Management Incentive Plan (the “2008 MIP”) and individual incentive targets for executive officers under the 2008 MIP;
 
  2.   Cash awards to executive officers (a) in connection with their achievements under the 2007 Management Incentive Plan (the “2007 MIP”) and (b) as special bonuses in recognition of significant individual achievements; and
 
  3.   Base salary increases for certain executive officers.
2008 MIP
The 2008 MIP is effective as of January 1, 2008. Its purpose is to motivate employees to achieve the goals and objectives in the Company’s 2008 Operating Plan and to reward employees for their individual contributions to the Company. Certain full-time regular employees hired before October 1, 2008 are eligible to participate in the 2008 MIP. The 2008 MIP excludes employees eligible for sales incentive, site management incentive or other special incentive plans. All executive officers of the Company are eligible to participate in the 2008 MIP. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has the sole and complete discretion to suspend or reduce the size of the incentive pool in the event of financial exigencies. Each participant’s award can vary from zero to one hundred and fifty percent of the participant’s incentive target as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The incentive performance goals under the 2008 MIP will be established by the Committee at a later date.
The incentive target levels for 2008 approved by the Committee for the Company’s named executive officers are:
