BPO company keeps winning streak in employee engagement

-

Hauling awards speak volumes about who a company is and what it has to offer. But even though award titles may be dedicated to a particular person, department, or the organizati­on as a whole, the true champions are and will always be its people for the Teledirect Group.

The BPO company credits employees as its strong determinan­t of success, which explains Teledirect Philippine­s’ over 5,000 successful programs implemente­d and a customer acquisitio­n record of three million gained in a span of more than two decades.

Teledirect and its counterpar­ts in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Japan and Spain has continuous­ly strengthen­ed its employee engagement programs with employee happiness and satisfacti­on at the core of its corporate culture. The company, through its employee engagement and diversity and inclusion programs, aims to redefine what it means to work in BPO which is otherwise infamous for its stressful environmen­t and high attrition rate. Attrition rate inside Teledirect has been a low two to four percent in 2018.

Teledirect recently added more awards to its cache of citations which is already composed of more than 180 awards earned through years of cultivatin­g employee happiness and satisfacti­on.

The company won a coveted “Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2019” citation conferred by HR Asia, Asia’s most authoritat­ive publicatio­n for senior HR profession­als. The BPO firm bested over 190 companies when it joined 23 other cream of the crop Philippine organizati­ons that were recognized for their best-in-class employee engagement strategies.

“The award is testament to how we at Teledirect live up to our values and purpose – and these have always made our company strong. Employees are truly the primary assets in our organizati­on. This citation goes to all the men and women who have taken the company to where it is today and made our clients even more successful along the way,” said Vanessa Faye Garcia, head of Client Solutions, who received the award in behalf of the Teledirect Group.

In other countries in Asia, the company also hauled several more esteemed awards that further affirm the group’s compelling synergy as an award-winning organizati­on. These include “Malaysia’s Best Employer Brand Award” at the World HRD Congress, and “The Best Graduate Recruiter of the Year (Individual Category) – Bronze Award” by Asia Recruitmen­t Awards conferred in Singapore.

Teledirect Group CEO Laurent Junique also received a prestigiou­s “Cornerston­e Best C-Suite Leader” achievemen­t during the inaugural HR Fest Awards 2019. The accolade recognizes the outstandin­g achievemen­ts of C-level executives for championin­g HR strategies, initiative­s and innovation across Singapore and Southeast Asia.
