Convergys & Bench: A dream convergence

MANILA, Philippines - In the past seven years, the call center industry has been one of the fastest-growing sectors in the Philippines. Integral to alleviating the country’s concerns about unemployment, it has been giving Filipinos, most especially fresh graduates, jobs that let them earn a decent living.

Convergys is known for its prestige, for fostering excellence, sheltering dreams and encouraging high-spirited go-getters. It is a global leader in relationship management that provides the most innovative solutions while building valuable relationships between its clients, customers and employees. Since it operated the first call center in the country in 2003, Convergys has been giving Filipinos the opportunity to have a rewarding career and enable them to support their loved ones.

Convergys recently launched the Wear Your Dreams campaign, a groundbreaking convergence with global brand Bench. The campaign encourages everyone to take a leap towards their dreams in style. The collaboration sprung out of Convergys’ desire to restyle the process of recruitment through an integrated and a trendier approach. For a world-class organization that continues to expand, the approach is always to outthink and outdo, and this time, to benchmark.

Bench, on the other hand, has been initiating campaigns that encourage Filipinos to keep up with the latest lifestyle trends, inspiring them to shine and be a cut above the rest. For the Wear Your Dreams campaign, Convergys got Enchong Dee as its “Dream Ambassador,” a role model who embodies the lifestyle it defines. The 20-year-old actor, dancer, host, endorser and political science degree holder and champion swimmer is an inspiration to young individuals who chase after their aspirations.

On Oct. 22, Convergys opened up its newest site at Glorietta 5 with President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Convergys senior vice president for Human Resources Clark Handy, and vice president and country manager Marife Zamora.

After the site dedication, guests were invited to witness “Runway to Your Dreams,” a catwalk extravaganza that brought together the stylish dream chasers of this generation and some of the most notable names in style and fashion. The runway event served as the highlight that ended the weeklong job fair where Convergys employees represented their sites and worked the ramp with the campaign’s dream ambassadors led by Enchong Dee. They all wore Convergys-Bench Stand Out Shirts. The Akafellas capped the festivities on a high note.

Those who join Convergys Glorietta 5 can wear their dreams in style as it has the finest options for shopping, dining and recreation. The same can be found at Convergys sites located at business hubs like Convergys One in Makati, Robinsons in Pasig, UP TechnoHub and Commonwealth in Quezon City, Alabang at the Northgate Cyberzone, San Lazaro in Manila, Nuvali in Sta Rosa, Laguna, Asiatown and Banawa in Cebu and in Bacolod City.
