Brand Elements
For a developing country like the Philippines, creating and ensuring opportunities and contributing to guaranteeing the quality of its human capital are keys to the country’s growth and development. [24]7.ai’s inclusive growth approach contributes to this by creating job opportunities not only for experienced individuals but even those who are fresh out of college. They don’t discriminate. They hire and retain people based on their skills and performance, and not because of their demographics and/or cultural diversity. Their workforce has a good mix of GenZ, Millenials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers or those who are over 50 years old. They employ persons with disabilities such as deaf employees and also hire people coming from different religious backgrounds.[24]7.ai puts prime importance in the growth and development of its human capital by making sure that employees are provided with a supportive environment in order to strengthen employee performance to achieve their goals. Through its various employeecentered initiatives and learning and development programs, [24]7. ai achieved an 88.08% overall satisfaction rating from its employees.
Even during the Covid-19 pandemic, [24]7.ai remained strong and has stayed true to its commitment of looking after the welfare of its employees. Despite getting severely affected by the Enhanced Community Quarantine, their centers have remained operational and continued to be open to employees who are able to report for work either by staying in or using the company shuttle. Their business revenue was impacted but instead letting go of their valued people, they quickly offered solutions. They initiated various programs that allowed their affected employees to continue providing for their families and they were able to land additional work-from-home accounts, providing more opportunities to their employees at a time when they really needed the company to be there for them.
[24]7.ai is very big in anchoring their initiatives to their Company Values and Culture. Through their initiatives, they make sure that their employees feel the value of what they are doing and will see that the company doesn’t only see them as numbers, but rather, true people with true stories and background.

Company’s Brand Story
[24]7.ai not only takes pride in providing the best customer service to its clients’ customers, but also in taking care of the people whose wellbeing makes excellent performance possible – their people.Their wellness benefits package comprises of several programs that looks at the overall wellbeing of the individual. It includes an industry-first health and medical benefits that do not only benefit employees, but is extended to their dependents or loved ones. Financial empowerment is also addressed through an insurance and savings program – in partnership with the country’s leading insurance provider – to support in building financial security of employees.
In March 2020 or when the Enhanced Community Quarantine was announced, they have provided adequate support, safety, and comfort for those who chose to stay in their sites. Their BCP Team quickly adjusted and built their on-site accommodations from scratch. They immediately purchased bunk beds and pillows, provided their employees with toiletries, gave out free meals at least 3x a day, took care of their laundry, converted our washroom into shower areas, and offered various engagement initiatives like movie nights, music jamming sessions, set up of worship areas every Sunday, etc. to help their employees go through the pandemic.
All these are testaments to how [24]7.ai puts prime importance to the wellbeing of its people, professionally and personally.
