THE pandemic has been a period marked with painful goodbyes. We said goodbye to life as we knew it. We’ve said heartbreaking farewells to those near and dear to us. For many, we also bid adieu to jobs and careers. Everything has been upended by the virus. It seems like the current protocols will be as they are for quite some time.
We often think of farewells as something sad because something in your life is “ending.” Therefore, something in you is ending as well.
But think of it this way, there has to be an ending for you, to create new beginnings. An old year has to end for a new year to begin. Some endings, such as the death of someone dear to us, will inevitably leave you in mourning. But if you can accept it as a collection of good memories, you will realize that it is possible to live a happier and more fulfilling life.
Every step in your life is necessary for growth.
If you find yourselves at a career crossroads, consider the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry. BPOs have become the cornerstone in our local economic landscape. Hubs easily employ more than a thousand skilled workers. At Nearsol, we’re a good mix of fresh grads, undergrads, parents, single parents, people returning to the workforce, early retirees, and just about anyone with a purpose and passion.
Here’s why we’re recognized as a Great Place to Work:
- We have a conducive work culture. We’re big on family and community. We don’t think it counterproductive to foster a culture of family. Cliché as it may seem, we care for you and your well-being. We value relationships as much as we do happiness. When asked why we pursue this kind of company culture, the answer we will give is simple, when our employees are happy and feel that they belong, our clients are happy, too. Further, community work at Nearsol is a big deal. We always aim to help the community/locality we work in.
- Nearsol benefits are competitive. Aside from government-mandated benefits, the perks are great. You get health care, freebies, discounts, and fun facilities (among others). A good BPO is conscious of a healthy work-life balance because this translates to optimum service.
- Great careers have begun at Nearsol. Many high-potential employees stay, and many Nearsol executives have been with the company for more than 15 years. But should a team member choose a different path, the trajectory is incomparable. Because of the training and skills gained, many find themselves directors, managers, and junior/senior vice presidents in various industries.
Last but certainly not least, Nearsol offers a work from home option. In response to the pandemic and because our client base across all our hubs has been steadily increasing, this option opens doors to many skilled candidates. Commuting and leaving your family to work odd hours are no longer necessary./PN
