Decent Hybrid Model, Still Room for More Flex
Working here as a Customer Service Representative has been okay. There's some flexibility, especially after the pandemic, but it's not a fully remote paradise for everyone in the BPO industry.
I appreciate the hybrid model for some roles, especially as a Customer Service Representative. It's good to have a few work-from-home days; it really helps with the tough Manila traffic. They do offer solid support for your home setup.
The work flexibility can be pretty limited depending on your client account. Not all BPO roles get those WFH options, and shift schedules for the Manila office are very rigid. It's tough to get a shift swap, even with advance notice.
Try to offer more flexible scheduling options for tenured employees, even for client-facing BPO roles. Also, standardize WFH policies across all accounts where possible to improve overall employee morale.
