A look back at Open Access BPO’s 2019 milestones

Luis Anthony Oliveros Published on December 31, 2019

The year 2019 has a been full year of growth and opportunities for Open Access BPO.

As a business process outsourcing (BPO) firm in the Philippines, we have a lot to celebrate this yearโ€”from expansions to new achievements and reinventions. And as we bid 2019 farewell, we look back at our milestones.

12 solid years in the industry

We celebrate our 12th year in the outsourcing industry this year. From our roots as a fledgling telemarketing contact center, Open Access BPO has grown up quite a lot. We’ve expanded our portfolio of services over the years and made each solutions package fully customizable. This lets our customers get the best out of their investments to achieve their business goals.

With these implemented, we were able to serve a wider customer base with truly diverse needs. And as we launched other operations facilities around Asia, we tapped new industries and penetrated more international markets.

Our new office unveiled

Launched to meet the growing demands of our clients and expanding workforce, the new facility at the Glorietta 2 Corporate Center is our sixth office in Asia and third in the Philippines. It’s now home to more than 10 multilingual programs, with 155 multicultural employees providing customer care, technical support, content moderation, and other back office services.

The new facility was selected for its location, situated in Makati’s commercial district, along with an assemblage of shopping malls, food establishments, and easy availability of transportation options.

Taking on a brand refresh

During the Glorietta 2 Corporate Center office launch, we also unveiled our new Open Access BPO logo, slogan, and web site. These featured our newly adopted company color: blue.

Aside from being visually appealing, blue showcases Open Access BPO as a trusted brand in the outsourcing industry. It’s draped over the new web site, which was redeveloped from the ground up with a streamlined design for optimal user experience.

The new slogan, “We Speak Your Language,” was chosen to highlight the brand’s multilingual capability and the scalability of its services.

These are part of a recent brand refresh meant to reinvigorate our brand identity and emphasize our commitment to creating great experiences for our clients and web site visitors.

Welcoming new programs

In addition to Open Access BPO’s current crop of programs operated across our various locations, eight companies have decided to entrust their functions to us this year. These diverse businesses are from multiple industries, including retail, healthcare, finance, engineering, and technology.

The multicultural teams handling these multilingual programs are dedicated to the success of each our client’s goals.

Campaigns to empower employees

Open Access BPO is an employee-centric company, so we aim to create a work environment and culture that empower our people. We understand that they do a great job when they’re satisfied with their work, the compensations and benefits, and the company they work for.

With various expansions happening across our locations, Open Access BPO acknowledges the hard work our teams accomplish every day in making those possible. As a result, this year we saw:

  • over 10 employees celebrating their 10th year with Open Access BPO;
  • plenty more on their fifth year; and
  • 62 employees promoted.

Aside from our numerous company parties and regular Zumba classes and Health and Wellness events, 2019 featured several employee engagement activities. These aimed to empower our diverse workforce. Our notable ones include the following:

  • LEAD. This ongoing training course is meant to hone our leaders’ management skills to effectively handle and motivate their respective teams.
  • Customer Service Week. During this week, we honored our employees for their hard work.
  • Hellos and Grubs. These were intimate dinners where employees and our executives get to unwind and talk about anything. It was launched to encourage open communication between employees and our management.
  • Open Access BPO on Hellos and Grubs
  • Pride March. Last year was Open Access BPO’s first time to participate in this colorful celebration of diverse love and acceptance.
  • Frightful Tales and Hobby Month. Both internal activities presented the varied interests that help employees destress and keep a work-life balance.
  • Open Access BPO Idol. A friendly competition that showcased Open Access BPO employees’ musical talents.
  • Activities like these are instrumental in promoting friendship and cultivating a strong sense of community within Open Access BPO.

    Inclusive corporate cultures aren't built by accident, they are cultivated through continuous dialogue.

    We recently brought our global teams together (both onsite at our Makati headquarters and virtually across our Davao, Taipei, and Las Vegas offices) for a dedicated Pride Talk focused on championing allyship and open communication in the workplace.

    Led by Psychologist Riyan Portuguez, ๐˜ฝ๐™š๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™๐™–๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™—๐™ค๐™ฌ: ๐˜พ๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™Ž๐™–๐™›๐™š ๐™Ž๐™ฅ๐™–๐™˜๐™š๐™จ ๐™๐™๐™ง๐™ค๐™ช๐™œ๐™ ๐˜ผ๐™ก๐™ก๐™ฎ๐™จ๐™๐™ž๐™ฅ focused on actionable frameworks to strengthen our culture of openness.

    By engaging our cross-border teams in these crucial conversations, we improve workplace collaboration and ensure that every member of Team Open Access feels empowered to contribute authentically.

    Cultivating an environment of safety and equality remains one of our highest priorities as a global organization.

    Sharing a simple, but meaningful, #PrideMonth message from Open Access Vice President, Joy Sebastian as we continue the celebration with our wider community.

    Pride is about belonging, respect, and creating a workplace where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported living their authentic truths. This week is a reminder that inclusion is something we build together, every day, through understanding, openness, and genuine connection.

    At #OpenAccess, we stand with our #LGBTQ+ community and reaffirm our commitment to a culture where everyone can show up as their full selves at work and beyond.

    Happy Pride!

    Open Access BPO recently traded desk time for running shoes, turning Ayala Avenue in Makati City into a wellness zone for its team, families, and friends during the company's Fun Run 2026 on May 24.

    Participants took on everything from a high-energy 10K run to a relaxed 1K stroll with their pets.

    In an industry where burnout is an identified risk, events like this show what actual support for employee well-being looks like in practice.

    Read the complete recap here to see how we champion employee wellness:

    Instead of just talking about culture on paper, getting everyone out on the pavement builds the kind of genuine connection that keeps a team strong and motivated.
