The company will formally open this Wednesday three new sites: Cebu Asiatown i3 in Cebu City in the central Philippines, University of the Philippines-Ayala Land TechnoHub in Quezon City, and Nuvali TechnoHub in Sta. Rosa City, outside Manila. These will bring to 12 the number of Convergys’ operational contact center facilities in the Philippines. The company now has around 16,000 employees.
