Any suggestion on this sentence? Thanks!

I once even got called by an associate and she asked me what was the best way to explain a concept to her manager, something associates rarely took on before.

For me, the use of "took on" is not very clear. Does it mean that associates rarely try to explain concepts to their managers? That associates rarely call you for advice?
