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.
