Local call center firms quickly shift to high-skilled jobs
Call center companies in the Philippines have managed to swiftly shift from low-end tasks to mid- and high-skilled jobs, according to research conducted by the Contact Center Association of the Philippines (CCAP). The research showed that mid- and high-skilled jobs in the contact center sector account for 85% of the total positions, as new technologies in automation and AI are replacing old jobs. By 2022, about 73% of the global IT-BPM industry will be covering mid- and high-skilled jobs, according to the projections of Frost & Sullivan. CCAP President Jojo Uligan said local professionals are now finding themselves more engaged in complicated tasks, as there is increasing demand for mid- and high-skilled jobs in the industry. From just answering calls, local contact center firms now make use of “disruptive” technologies — automation, analytics, and AI — to deliver customer experience, the study showed.
