CINCINNATI--(Business Wire)--
Effective recruiting and a partnership with the Army Spouse Employment
Partnership (ASEP) have helped Convergys Corporation (NYSE: CVG), a global
leader in relationship management, become a leader in employing the nation`s
military spouses, dependents, and veterans from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force,
and Marines. With more than 800 military spouses working across the country in
seven contact centers and as Home Agents, Convergys also has become a primary
partner to the ASEP program. 

"The members of our Armed Forces are in the business of serving their country,
and their spouses tend to be service-oriented as well," said Robert Olds,
Convergys director of continuous improvement and quality. "This commitment to
providing exemplary service correlates perfectly with Convergys` commitment to
provide a superior service experience for all our clients` customers." 

"Our partnership with the ASEP provides advantages for military family members
as well as for Convergys and our clients," said Clark Handy, Convergys Senior
Vice President, Human Resources. "Military spouses enjoy the flexible
scheduling, wages, and benefits we provide," he said. "Our clients benefit from
the military spouses` exceptional work ethic and quality job performance and, as
an employer, Convergys benefits from their historically low rates of absenteeism
and attrition." 

The Army Spouse Employment Partnership was created in May 2002, when then Army
Chief of Staff Gen. Eric K. Shinseki directed the U.S. Army Community and Family
Support Center to establish and enhance collaborative partnerships with public
and private sector companies to create career and training opportunities for
military spouses. ASEP has since provided more than 41,000 jobs for military
spouses.
