CALL CENTER operations were barely disrupted last week even as floods in Metro Manila caused by torrential rain paralyzed many workers in the capital.
“Operations were normal as of Wednesday. Although it was not 100% normal, operations were still ongoing,” Jojo J. Uligan, president of Contact Centers Association of the Philippines (CCAP) told BusinessWorld in a telephone interview.
He added that companies who encountered problem with manpower, channeled calls to other locations that are not affected by the flood.
At Teleperformance Asia-Pacific, for instance, attendance “ranged anywhere from 40% to 85% depending on location and time of day,” David Rizzo, company president said in an e-mail.
Mr. Uligan said each call center company had a preparedness plan in place in case of calamities.
“We notified our business partners around the world so they could take necessary steps to assist the staffing situation,” Mr. Rizzo added. “We routed calls to other locations when possible.”
CCAP has more 90 members, most of which are from Metro Manila. — Cliff Harvey C. Venzon, Businessworld
