Culture of J Telemarketing – How it thrives in maintaining an excellent retention rate

Turnover in the telemarketing industry is an inescapable reality yet most companies are reluctant to recognize the killer effects of a high turnover rate and the immense pressure of reforming the retention rate sufficient to sustain a business.

J Telemarketing, however, realizes the gravity of the essence and significance of a high retention rate and has set up an employee-centric framework that ensures a healthy workplace culture while minimizing the turnover rate to little to none at all.

With that said, let’s discuss how J Telemarketing structured its culture and created a relaxing and career-oriented ambiance, and excelled in setting the benchmarks as one of the few corporations in the region to maintain such a retention rate.

First things first, the following are the determining factors that lead to the decision of “ Okay, I’m done with this company.”

Top 5 causes of High Turnover:

  1. Lack of recognition, raises, promotions, bonuses, and incentives.
  2. Toxic environment and unhealthy workplace culture.
  3. Lack of work/life balance.
  4. Undercompensating and Biased stance.
  5. Miscommitment and Misleading promises.

Now to the long-overdue moment of the blog, “How J Telemarketing thrives in maintaining an excellent retention rate.”

Top 5 Reasons Why Talent Never Leaves J Telemarketing:

  • Employee-Centric Business Framework:

J Telemarketing’s business model revolves around talent and ensures giving credit where it’s due. Not only does it acknowledges the hard work and efforts of the team but extravagantly rewards them to demonstrate respect and appreciation and to make them feel valued.

  • Healthy Workplace Culture:

At J Telemarketing, it’s customary to provide a healthy workplace culture that encourages and supports career-oriented growth in a cooperative and friendly manner. It offers a soothing atmosphere of care that imparts the utmost peace of mind.

  • Work/Life Balance:

For a team to be productive, it’s rather mandatory to indulge in work/life balance. With that said, J Telemarketing has laid down only 5 days a week of working, giving the weekends to refresh and rejuvenate.

  • Fair Compensation and Impartial Stance:

As implied earlier, this organization never backs down when it comes to appreciation and fairly compensating for hard work. In addition to that, everyone is valued equally and the stance is always while educating and promoting talent.

  • Honest Commitments and Transparency:

Rather than keeping the employees in the dark, J Telemarketing honors its commitments and leads the team with a transparent code of conduct. That way, everyone understands where they stand in the organization.

Bottom Line:

The cost of high employee turnover is the energy, time, and money required to seek and train new talent. The reasonable and viable solution to this bootless hectic is to build and maintain a workplace culture that revolves around the peace of mind of an employee which, in turn, ensures productivity. 

That’s the culture that we’ve built, maintained, and cherished. That’s the culture of J Telemarketing.

Why be a CSR when you can be a CEO of your own Call Center?

JT Accelerator Program: Start Your Own Call Center in Partnership with J Telemarketing

2020 has been a testing year for all of us to say the least. And even though the new year has arrived, the effects of 2020 are being felt around the world in one way or another. People’s health, their jobs, their routines, and every other aspect of their lives has been altered thanks to the woes of 2020. The global economy also went on a nose dive, which resulted in many people losing their businesses and other forms of livelihoods. What’s even worse is that the economy still hasn’t recovered enough, for people to easily establish a business with plentiful resources.

However, what if you were told that even today, you can start your very own call center with nothing but a laptop, a headset, and a workstation at your own home? You are forgiven for thinking that this should, by all accounts, be impossible, given the current economic circumstances. But J Telemarketing, under its JT Accelerator program can help you fulfill your leadership potential by having you become your own boss and start your own company. With J Telemarketing as your business partner, these are all the facilities you will get:

  • Leads/Data

Arranging for leads is one of the most energy and resource draining tasks for any call center service.

Under the JT Accelerator program, you shall be given the finest quality data that will aid you in terms of ensuring an optimal conversion rate for your business.

  • Dialer

While starting off a new business, you’re going to want to be as efficient in investing your resources as possible.

Whereas, if you opt for the JT accelerator program, you’d get the dialer absolutely free of cost. This implies that rather than focusing on saving money, you can focus on getting the best results.

  • Voice Over IP

Acquiring an authorized IP and registering the call center with the Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA) can be a headache for the call center startups. Fulfilling the formalities with the authorized departments is a big hassle and conducting business through an illegal channel is never advisable. Under the JT Accelerator program, you’ll be assisted by us in the registration process and in obtaining an authorized VoIP that will help you conduct your business and make the calls in a safe and seamless fashion.

  • Training

If you truly love your job, you can never be too good at it. There is always room for learning and your arsenal of tactics can always be improved.

J Telemarketing Vs The Pandemic: Coping Against the 2nd Wave of COVID-19

With the lockdowns having been eased after a decrease in the number of cases, people have started enjoying the liberty of going out in freedom once again. However, people have seemingly forgotten that the virus is still very much on the loose, which has led them to grow careless and fall prey to the disease.

However, J Telemarketing acknowledges the seriousness of the reemerging threat and has put in place a series of strict precautionary protocols, so as for none of the employees or clients to fall prey to COVID19. It bears mentioning that, at the time of the first wave of COVID-19, J Telemarketing, as attributed to their apt response to the rising pandemic, not only kept the employees safe from the pandemic, but also from unemployment. The company was one of the very few in the world to not lay-off any of its workforce at the time when the organizations went on a downsizing spree.

J Telemarketing seeks to continue that positive trend, in the interest of which, the organization has chalked out a standard set of guidelines, so as for the entire workforce to stay protected from the woes of COVID-19. Here are some practices mandated by the call center for the entire workforce to follow:

  • Use of Facemasks: 

Use of facemasks has been made compulsory for all those who opt to work from the office. The call center agents that don’t have facemasks are provided facemasks by the organization. It has been scientifically proven that facemasks significantly reduces the odds of COVID19 spread. Therefore, the call center management has made it essential for the entire workforce to wear them and protect themselves and others from the virus.

  • Use of Hand Sanitizers:

The availability of hand sanitizers has also been made obligatory by J Telemarketing with the entire workforce. Like with facemasks, the organization also provides hand sanitizers to the employees in case they don’t have their own. Hand sanitizers are basic hygiene maintenance items that are essential in a setting where multiple individuals come in contact with various surfaces. Use of hand sanitizers in such a setting can also prevent the virus from spreading.

  • Social Distancing:

Although a team consisting of multiple people has to be placed in a single room, the seating arrangement for all the call center employees is done at least 6 feet apart from one another, so as to keep the workforce safe in case of the presence of a possible carrier on the floor. The employees are directed to maintain a safe distance from one another in activities other than work as well.

  • Work From Home Facility:

Those that feel under the weather, are asked to work from home. They are given a choice to either rest if they feel severely unwell, or are asked to take up their daily official tasks from home if they feel up for work.

  • Maintenance of Basic Hygiene:

The office is sanitized on a daily basis upon the departure of the employees, so as for them to return to a clean and safe environment the next day. Furthermore, the hard utensils and crockery is replaced with the disposable ones, so that they are only used once and disposed of later, so as for the germs to not linger and infect anyone.

The coronavirus is a vile and unassuming disease that is capable of causing a lot of damage to its host without him/her even knowing. However, with adapting the scientifically proven safety protocols, J Telemarketing has managed to mitigate the probability of a COVID19 spread within the organization to a great degree. With that said, we also encourage each individual, household, and organization to follow all the safety measures and protect themselves and their loved ones from the scourge of this pandemic.
