EOD
It’s asked that our team leads provide a summary of their day and findings by the end of their shift. The format varies from one Team Lead to another, but the concept is the same. Some wait until the end of their shift to write one. Others keep a running log throughout the day. Email your EOD to cwleads@cwxtx.com.
