What is Zero Tolerance Policy?

ZTP stands for Zero Tolerance Policy and, as it clearly states, it means behaviors that our client does not tolerate as they might put the brand at risk.This policy does not take into account labor laws across our network, and leaves to each Operations team (both Internal and Partner) to fully comply with the rules and regulations of their country and site.

Key takeaways

• The Zero Tolerance and Behavior Consequence Policy was written by Quality to address egregious behavior found through the quality monitoring process. This policy outlines the actions Airbnb’s Quality team would like to see considered by our global Partner network based on behavior severity.
• These behaviours can have consequences that go from a written warning to removal from the campaign
• Avoid markdowns for ticket avoidance by making sure you contact the user and document every action on your case notes
• Always report system issues to your lead and leave notes in the case when a call drops
