We have seen lots of growth from existing clients and have also welcomed new brands such as RCS & 1 Life in the last 2 months. Well done RCS on smashing your targets and good luck to the 1 Life team as you launch. There are many more campaigns we expect to grow and new brands joining us this year, providing you with new growth opportunities.
Representing South Africa and CallForce in the USA
It was a privilege to represent CallForce in the international market by attending the Professional Associations for Customer Engagement (PACE) event in Nashville, USA after so many years. With COVID behind us we are very encouraged to see the global interest shown in the South African BPO sector and in CallForce.
Launching an eBook
Partnering with Rod Jones, a hugely influential networking partner, CallForce launched an eBook on what South Africa offers as an offshoring location. We’d love your thoughts and feedback!
Work hard, play hard!
In 2022 we’ve shown that we know how to play as hard as we work. Thank you for the enthusiasm, creativity and all you bring to the office to make things fun!
Mandela Day
We loved seeing you show some love for your colleagues on Mandela Day… and doing the Mandela Shuffle! Congrats to all our ‘Mandelas’ – thank you for the positive change, professionalism and leadership you bring.
Spring Day
What an uplifting day and celebration of the season that’s all about new beginnings and growth! We’re excited about the next season for our business.
Heritage Day
We live in such a culturally rich country. Heritage Day was a great reminder of the role we play in promoting our cultural diversity to the world.
Halloween
Congrats to the RCS team for the best dressed and best decor award, you all looked awesome, and your performance skills were excellent. We are really blessed with the best.
Wellness Day
We work in an incredibly face-paced environment, and work-life balance is a constant juggle but most certainly a priority in our world. In support of our wellness programme, it was so special to see all the smiles and participation from the team. Looking forward to many more of these in the upcoming year.
