TELEPERFORMANCE, one of the pioneer call centers in Bacolod City and said to be the 2nd biggest in the industry, invited Mayor Evelio Leonardia and Councilor Wilson Gamboa, Jr., to meet their Executive Vice President for Philippine Operations, Trevor Friensen who is in Bacolod for the first time.
Friensen and the other Teleperformance executives informed the mayor of their expansion plans in Bacolod, which will mean hiring more call center agents in the city. This will mean more employment for the people of Bacolod and nearby localities, Leonardia said.
Presently Telepeformance has 400 call center agents.
New call center Manager for Bacolod, Don Sausa was also introduced to the Mayor. The executives said Teleperformance is impressed with the business climate in Bacolod, especially the peace and order situation and the Mayor's accessibility to the business community.
Councilor Wilson Gamboa, Chairman of the Committee on Traffic, was consulted on the possibility of having public utility jeeps pass by the call center for the convenience of the employees of the call center. Gamboa promised to bring the matter to a public hearing with PUJ Operators.
