Malacanang called for suspension of work in Metro Manila, except for Disaster Risk Management, why does BPO companies still require workers to work? philstar/headlines/2013/08/20/1111061/monsoons-cripple-mm-south-luzon BPO Industry Employees Network (BIEN) Philippines urged the BPO management to consider their employees’ safety and not terminate those who failed to report for work. “We remember the ‘habagat’ incident last year where some BPO companies required all their employees to report to work despite the devastation and massive flooding,” BIEN said in a statement. BIEN said call center agents are now worried that BPO companies will be observing the same policy and force the workers to report for work. The group said a single absence or even tardiness should not be used as a ground for termination. “We understand the nature of call center where it needs to meet the demand of clients especially for phone banking, customer service and technical support accounts, but companies should be more considerate of their employees’ safety and welfare amidst massive flooding and heavy rains,” BIEN said.
