Philippines BPO Industry Attracts Major Firms- Coracall Contact Centre, Durban-South Africa


Despite concerns over BPO companies pulling out of the Philippines earlier this year, the industry looks to have gained strength and momentum, and recently won favour of several Australian, New Zealand and other foreign firms. The strong support of the Philippine government through education and talent development programs, locator assistance, and tax incentives assured investors of industry’s stability. Details of the deal have not been made clear yet, but this is a win for the BPO and BPM industry; a location where Coracall, a leader in outsource and offshore services, also holds a call centre.

The Importance of Flexible Work Arrangements & BPO Employee Satisfaction- Coracall Contact Centre, Durban-South Africa


In response to US-based internet company Yahoo! ending a telecommuting option for employees, Catalyst recently surveyed 726 high potential employees—MBA graduates around the world working full-time in both for-profit and non-profit firms across industries—about their experiences with, and perceptions of, flexible working arrangements. Their answers revealed that Yahoo! and other companies, such as Zappos, Bank of America and Best Buy are in the minority. In fact, over 80% of those surveyed say that currently work for employers that offer flexible work arrangements. Other myths debunked in the survey reveal that both men and women take advantage, and that productivity, innovation and collaboration is actually increased when people have flexible arrangements. So what does that mean for other companies, more specifically call centres such as Coracall? It means that employee satisfaction is critical. With typically a young employee base, Coracall makes sure that all professionals and call agents receive proper training, have access to resources and have confidence in knowing they can contact management at any time to discuss issues. For if Coracall’s agents are satisfied, and then it means Coracall’s clients will be too. To learn more about Coracall call centre or customer support services visit Coracall.com.

A Healthy Approach to Providing Best Outsourcing Services- Coracall Contact Centre, Durban-South Africa

Working as an agent in a call centre is a tough job. It requires a tremendous amount of energy, patience and tenacity to make take or make calls on behalf of a client.  One UK socialist described working at a call centre an "emotional labour" of simply putting a smile in my voice despite endless rejections, not revealing what they may be going through internally. Many who criticise call centres, saying they create emotionally instable and unhealthy environments obviously have not been to Coracall facilities. Headquartered in the UK, Coracall houses its largest call centre facility in Durban, South Africa, and takes measures in providing a nurturing and supportive environment for all of its agents and employees. This healthy approach aids agents in providing the best services to all of Coracall’s clients. To learn more about what Coracall has to offer, visit Coracall.com.

The talent paradox of outsourcing, Coracall Contact Centre, Durban- South Africa

In an April 2013 research by Accenture discusses the “talent paradox of outsourcing,” simply revealed that over 200 enterprise businesses are seeing poor returns on investment when it comes to utilising call centres. At the core of the issue seems to be talent and poor training and concern for the client. For companies that still intend to pursue the offshore outsourcing model but want to maintain high customer satisfaction and loyalty levels, the choice is clear: ensure your offshore call centre work is of the highest possible quality. Clients choosing Coracall, however, are ensured that call centre agents are well-trained and do everything to meet a client’s needs. To learn more about Coracall talent, visit us at coracall.com.
