PROCESSED OUTSOURCED
The processed outsourced in EGS is the Customer Care Support from their
client account, Maxicare. Since Maxicare has been serving internationally, they
cannot cover their services to their clients when it comes to the overview about
their plans and their different concerns. One of the reasons why Customer Care is
the processed outsourced, so there will be a group of people who can be able to
answer and transact with their customers at any given time, without any
interruptions. One factor, as well, is the benefit of different time zones in which
when a patient calls, someone can answer to them and respond to their queries
immediately.

HR PROBLEMS WITHIN THE WORKFORCE

a. High employee turn-over/ High attrition rate
- Employees would always say that theyll change their career for better
opportunities. And common to them is people tend to do call center
hopping in which theyll work for three months, then resign and transfer
to other company.
- In this kind of problem, EGS introduced the Refer Program in which
the employees may get incentives in their salary, gift checks, foods and
movie passes if they can be able to refer an employee apply and work for
them.
b. Inefficient employees in the workforce
- This happens in times when the customer or patient becomes
unsatisfied on how the employee treats them and transacts with them.
- As a solution to the problem, the company reviews the history of the
call, and if proven, the employee will be given warning, coaching, 3
months to resolve the issue, or worse, and termination.
c. Missing employees during shift
- This is the case where employees will just log-in to their schedule, then
go to other places and not stay on their workplace to do their job.
- With this case, the employees, once proven with the assault, will be
given warning, or worse, and termination.
