Every year, multilingual Open Access BPO (OABPO) rings in the new year with a grand celebration, uniting its teams in a spirited kickoff that sets the tone for the months ahead.

More than just parties, these are moments for employees to come together, recharge, and step into the new year with renewed enthusiasm and a shared sense of purpose.

Our Taipei, Manila, and Davao teams kicked off the year with bigger parties than ever, celebrating within days of each other.

The celebrations, dubbed Wanderlust Bliss: The Open Access BPO Kickoff Party 2025, featured a Bohemian-inspired theme that embraces creativity, self-expression, and a free-spirited approach to new beginnings. The theme reflected the company s culture—dynamic, diverse, and unafraid to break the mold—setting the perfect tone for the year ahead.

OABPO Taipei: Ten Years Strong

The OABPO Taipei team’s party last January 24 was a triple celebration: cheers to a fruitful year, early festivities for the Chinese New Year, and a festive bash that congratulated OABPO Taipei on its 10th anniversary.

Company President Henry Chang and Global Vice President Joy Sebastian opened the celebrations held at the ILLUME Taipei Hotel.

Aside from the food and drinks, the attendees enjoyed lots of games at the party, including a dance contest and the Sugar Cookie Challenge (as seen on the show Squid Game).

OABPO Taipei employees who have been with the company for years were awarded with ang pao (traditional red envelopes containing cash) and special gifts, including vacuum cleaners, smartwatches, mountain bikes, electric blankets, and home appliances.

On January 26, two days after the Taipei celebrations, the Manila team got dressed in their best Bohemian-inspired outfits and gathered at The Enderun Tent in Taguig City for their kickoff party. The party started in the afternoon, accompanied by reggae music from Open Access BPO’s long-time party buddy Collie Herb.

CEO Ben Davidowitz then took to the stage to jumpstart the festivities, thanking everyone for their hard work and dedication in 2024. He also hyped everyone up with the unprecedented raffle prize pool this year.

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.

Excellent #CustomerService is built on #EmployeeSatisfaction.

And to improve the #CallCenter agent experience, you must give your #CX reps a reason to be proud—
• of their work, and
• of the company that trusts them to do it.
