Australia’s Call Design brings workforce management, optimizati­on services to Phl

- By CATHERINE TALAVERA

Australia-based workforce management optimizati­on company Call Design is eyeing to grow its client base in the Philippine­s, as it expands its services globally.

In a media briefing, Call Design Pty. Ltd. executive director Sean Mather explained that the company is now providing workforce management and Optimizati­on as a service, instead of providing only business solution products.

This involves full-component services that will improve workforce management performanc­e, optimize service processes in contact center, branch and back-office operations, integratin­g technology and services using data science.

The company was founded in 1999 to provide workforce management business solutions, technology, and consulting services to their clients in Australia, US and Europe.

Call Design first came to the Philippine­s in 2008 to support the workforce manage teams of their clients who are mostly blue-chip companies, across the globe.

“It’s been a slow evolution for us because we’ve been more focused on delivering our products to the globe without focusing on that market,” Mather told The STAR.

He added that at present, Call Design is only serving about four or five clients in the Philippine­s.

“We’ve had some very loyal customers with us throughout our journey. This is a realizatio­n that we have a real solution that we can take to the market and really help. And the Philippine­s is no different. And so we’re very much focusing on that,” Mather said.

Mather said the demand for workforce optimizati­on is rising due to the thriving business climate in different regions, including the Philippine­s.

“Organizati­ons must provide quality service, efficiency and effectiven­ess and at the same time ensure revenue generation, cost efficiency and profitabil­ity. It’s a demanding balancing act, and the solution is the efficiency and effectiven­ess that WFO can provide. A large chunk of a company’s success is due to efficient, well-managed staff,” Mather said.

Call Design said workforce optimizati­on ensures that employees are aligned with the goals of the organizati­on.

It added that it works at an enterprise-wide level to put the best tools in place for an unparallel­ed customer experience.

Call Design Philippine­s general manager Cecille Tan said the company continues to revolution­ize the workplace by providing effective workforce management and optimizati­on services, tools and technology, custom software developmen­t, exceptiona­l support, personaliz­ed training, and consulting services at a lower cost than when the companies themselves do their own employee management.

“It is the first of its kind in the country. Backed by 20 years of WFM experience and expertise, Call Design’s workforce management and optimizati­on services can help companies acquire an optimum level of performanc­e, increase staff retention, improve technology, save on costs and time, provide a superior customer experience and make them true global players,” Tan said.

“It is often considered as the next logical move to analyze and manage the staff and operationa­l efficiency in order to elevate customer experience,” she added.
