SUCCESS STORY - GORDON N.
My name is Gordon N, and I have been with Sutherland since Jan 26, 2004. I had no idea what a BPO was but was welcomed with open arms when I applied for a job. Since joining Sutherland I have had many opportunities to learn new things, and experience new adventures. I have worked on 8 different programs and have held many diverse positions. I have had the good fortune of travelling to many of our different geographies as well as client offices. Meeting many people both at Sutherland, and our many varied clients, has given me the ability to expand my understanding of our business world, and the many different functions that can be performed within the BPO industry. I have been able to expand my horizons by working for a global company.
SUCCESS STORY - LEO C.
My name is Leo C. During my two and a half years working with Sutherland Global Services, I’ve been given many opportunities to advance and improve myself. I started out on the phones providing technical support and making sales. In three months time, I was promoted to a senior level of support. Twenty-four days afterwards, I was quickly promoted to training specialist where I branched off into more than four programs and departments, which included their launches.
My responsibilities quickly evolved to client/vendor liaison that afforded me the luxury and responsibility of representing SGS Windsor at other global sites; allowing me to travel to places like Sault Ste. Marie to Davao, Philippines. I have also been given the honour of being on the ground floor of starting one of Sutherland’s most successful Work at Home programs; A program that has taken the top ranking amongst all centers.
Today, I am an E-Learning Specialist and Web Developer. I work with Apprentices and with the community. I also lead a team and get to apply my skills and creativity to unique problems. SGS continues to open doors for me. I just need to find the time to walk through them all.
SUCCESS STORY – TAMMY J.
My name is Tammy J. and I have been with Sutherland for 3 years. I started with Sutherland as an associate and learned many things. The management taught me that this was a job where you could follow your interests, demonstrate your capabilities and grow with the company. I live 30 miles outside the city but have always managed to be at work on time. I have moved upthrough the ranks becoming a quality team member, S.M.E. (Systems Matter Expert) while still maintaining my efficiency scores, CAP training, and have recently been promoted to a Supervisor overseeing 20 associates. The skills that I have gained while working here are teamwork, responsibility, and leadership. I feel that Sutherland helped me advance within the company.
