Afni, a leading US-based business process outsourcing (BPO) firm, opened its newest site in Laguna, its third office in the Philippines.
The new site at SM City Santa Rosa underscores Afni’s commitment to providing exceptional career opportunities for Filipinos, while catering to the growing demand for BPO services globally.
“The Philippines continues to be a prime location for companies seeking skilled and dedicated professionals,” said Afni president and chief executive Ron Greene.
“Afni’s expansion into Santa Rosa demonstrates our commitment to supporting our clients and boosting the country’s economy by establishing our presence in major hubs outside of Metro Manila,” he said.
The newly-launched Santa Rosa office spans over 9,400 square feet across multiple floors, boasting amenities designed to enhance the employee experience.
The office also has conference rooms for collaboration, fostering innovation and teamwork among employees.
Once construction is complete, an arcade or game room will also be available for employees to unwind during breaks, creating a fun and engaging work environment. For those needing to recharge to perform at their best, comfortable sleeping quarters will also be provided.
“At Afni, we believe in fostering a supportive work environment where individuals can unlock their full potential, aligned with our ‘Better Begins Here’ philosophy. By opening our new site in Santa Rosa, we are not only creating new job opportunities but also empowering local talents in and around Laguna to thrive closer to where they live,” said Afni Philippines senior vice president and country manager Khalid Khursheed.
Santa Rosa is a strategic location for Afni thanks to its rich talent pool and proximity to Metro Manila. The convenience of nearby transportation hubs, coupled with a relatively lower cost of living than Metro Manila, offers employees especially with a cost-effective advantage.
Afni aims to provide even more job opportunities in Santa Rosa, targeting at least 3,000 new employees by year end. Afni has more than 8,000 employees in the Philippines, most of whom are based in Quezon City.
