The 411 on Technical Support

Technical support refers to a broad spectrum of services provided by companies, particularly those that offer mechanical and electronic products. Contrary to other customer support services that involve product customization and billing inquiries, technical support caters to specific problems that pertain to items that could range from software and hardware to mobile phones and other gadgets.

The service is frequently offered in three methods: via phone, e-mail, or live chat support. Companies that wish to show their flexibility should be available on these platforms, as it creates the impression that they offer assistance in the manner most convenient to a customer.

Why should you outsource technical support?

Many customers reach out to companies during off-peak hours. These are the hours before and after the regular working schedule, as these are the times that consumers are at home to utilize the products. For this reason, it makes sense to outsource technical support to a call center.

Outsourcing to call centers in the Philippines offers a host of benefits to any organization. For one, call centers can facilitate campaigns that run on a 24/7 schedule to ensure that every single call, email, or chat notification from customers are responded to. This guarantees that customers will get an immediate response for their concerns and therefore receive an efficient consumer experience. Furthermore, imagine if only a single employee is available to answer an influx of phone calls. That employee would be disgruntled and out of their element to the point of frustration.

Aside from providing round-the-clock response teams, outsourcing technical support also shows significant cost reduction and an increase in overall productivity without incurring additional overhead expenses. This also signifies that callers will have access to subject experts who have been handling their accounts over an extended period of time and know the technology’s ins and outs. Lastly, an outsourced technical support department would also be a strategic advantage during product launching and scheduled maintenance work. Clearly, outsourcing technical support provides more benefits than harm.

𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗕𝗣𝗢 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝘀 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲

Multilingual call center 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐁𝐏𝐎 has launched its largest employee wellness program, 𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗙𝗧: 𝗔𝗻 𝗢𝗔𝗕𝗣𝗢 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺.

The three-month program was launched July 30 at the company's Robinsons Summit Center HQ in Makati, with a live stream to its Davao and work-from-home teams. According to Senior Director Nate Martinez, SHIFT focuses on a holistic approach to fitness and nutrition to promote lasting lifestyle changes.

The initiative, which stands for 𝐒𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝐇𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝐈𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝐅𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝐓𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, aims to help employees in the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry build healthier, sustainable habits.

Company Nurse Princess Ann Louisse Pascual provided a detailed overview of the program, emphasizing its goal of long-term wellness rather than just short-term fitness goals. Nurse Supervisor Shania Semper also highlighted the importance of health and wellness within the BPO industry.

The company anticipates this investment in wellness will lead to a more productive, engaged, and healthier workforce.

This initiative is a testament to the company's commitment to building a supportive, people-first culture, with the goal of fostering improved employee well-being, morale, and overall performance.
