CONVERGYS Corp has announced the opening of it's new Glorietta 5 facility in Makati City. This opening marks the fourth of five facilities Convergys has added throughout the country following its major expansion announcement in May 2008. The new sites that have been opened so far include Convergys Cebu Asiatown i3, UP TechnoHub and Nuvali Evozone all of which were dedicated in April 2009 by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Situated among one of the largest shopping districts in the country and in the midst of the premier business district of Makati City. Convergys new state of the art facility encompasses over 17,000 square meters and has the ability to hold approximately 2,700 employees.

"We are growing exponentially" said Marife Zamora Convergys vice president and country manager. So far this year Convergys has opened four new facilities and added over 3,000 jobs to the BPO
industry and the Philippine economy. We are well on our way to closing the year with 20,000 employees as announced at our dedication last year.

The Philippines continues to be the geography that our clients continue to request and with the opening of this new facility we will continue to meet the needs of our existing and future clients around the globe. Recently at the 2009 Philippine Economic Zone Authority Investors Appreciation Day Convergys won the Outstanding Exporter and Outstanding Employer awards in the Large Enterprise Category as well as the BPO Employer of the Year at the 2009 International ICT Awards further distinguishing Convergys from its competitors as the employer of choice in the Philippines.
