“Ally” a BPO Company in Ortigas, Philippines, saved $5.6 million on potential backfill costs with only six months of use of Betterteem
Ally is an outsourcing company based in Ortigas, Philippines, that provides business support services to startups worldwide. They prioritize quality, efficiency, and employee satisfaction.
Problem, Consequences, and Hesitations
Although Ally prides itself on prioritizing employee satisfaction, it struggles with many employees leaving to pursue freelance work. This frequent turnover has had a negative impact on Ally’s productivity, resulting in poor customer service and client relationships.
“Our compensation packages are designed to be very competitive,” said its SVP of Operations. “On top of our above-market compensation packages, we’ve added variable benefits such as extended medical coverages, reimbursable transportation allowances, free office meals, and top-rated engagement offerings.”
Ally, through its SVP of Operations, learned about Betterteem through a Google search and decided to schedule a demo. “At first, I felt overwhelmed with explaining the challenges we’re facing in talent engagement and retention, but the account manager who led the Betterteem demo was able to finish my sentences for me, which brought me comfort. I felt like we have the same DNA.”
“The Betterteem team presented a solution to digest employee sentiments by consolidating various data sources into a single dashboard. I was initially hesitant, but the team demonstrated a small-scale example to clarify the platform's functionality. I appreciated the team's patience while we were deciding.”
Eventually, Ally went with Betterteem, which took three weeks to implement. The data migration process lasted only 48 hours.
