A contact center company with a mission for success.
Abitlity-GO was founded under the name StatesideBPO in 2013. The contact center industry has been through so many changes since the turn of the century. New developments in technology and additional options for offshoring created a diverse landscape of providers and types of service.
Impact Sourcing was a developing concept around that time, which usually refers to the practice of utilizing business needs for a third party product or service to benefit a disadvantaged community. Impact Sourcing focused on locations of businesses in other countries. Ability-GO was founded to expand that concept within the United States.
Contact Centers have always been plagued by attrition, low engagement, and inefficiencies in knowledge.
Ability-GO was founded to match this need for an engaged workforce with the underserved demographic of Americans with Disabilities within the labor force.
The driving force behind Ability-GO's success is simple. Our Associates are more engaged when conversing with your customers. This level of engagement is a direct result from the efforts our organization makes to champion hiring Americans with Disabilities. Contact us today to see how these results could benefit your business.
