Business: Convergys Corporate Executive makes personal visits to agents in the Philippines

Manila, Philippines (BUSINESS WIRE) - One of the highest-ranking officials at Convergys recently met personally with customer service agents in Convergys' Metro Manila facilities. Much to the surprise and pleasure of the agents, Andrea Ayers, the company's new president of Customer Management, came from Cincinnati to meet personally with hundreds of agents to announce the company's large expansion in the country and learn more about employees in each site.

Ayers is currently conducting a global tour of operations and an integral part of her visits to Convergys facilities around the world is to engage in candid conversations with agents. This helps the company open doors for communication at all levels and encourage productive work relationships. Her trip to the Philippines included tours of six Convergys facilities and subsequent "coffee break" sessions with agents and team leaders.

During each session, agents introduced themselves and shared a bit about their families and tenure with the company. The conversation in each meeting focused on issues that impact the employees' work lives and strategic plans for the organization.

"I'm delighted to have this opportunity to meet personally with our employees and seek their own individual ideas on how we can make our organization even better," stated Ayers. "We are in a people business at Convergys, and our people are truly the key to our success. Our employees in the Philippines continue to impress me with their commitment to our clients and their customers, and I am honored that they took time from their days to spend a few minutes talking to me."

While in the Philippines, Ayers announced expansion in the Philippines that will equate to five new integrated contact centers and up to 7,000 new employees.
