Absa to Open Call Centre at Coega
4th Dec.'08
Local banking group Absa has become the first investor at the Coega Industrial Development Zone's business process outsourcing (BPO) park, announcing plans to open a 105-seat outbound call centre.
The Coega Development Corporation (CDC) says the project has come just as the company is making a concerted effort to lure more investors to the BPO Park. A pilot of the Absa contact centre has been running at Coega since January this year, and the CDC is also in talks with other international companies to take up prime space in the massive BPO park planned for the zone.
The outbound facility currently employs 105 people - the majority of whom were previously unemployed or had very little work experience – and the project has confirmed the bank's strategy of combining business with social imperatives.
The initiative was aimed at doing business in a responsible way that enables people to uplift themselves through employment and business opportunities, with a key focus was on affording work experience to unemployed individuals.
