Corporate Good Business Practice

Directory

Introduction

The CCMG is a single, unified and strong voice for the Contact Centre industry, owned and operated by the actual stakeholders within our sector, namely the companies themselves and those employed in the companies. We want the clients, public, stakeholders and government to view the CCMG as accountable for every individual or company associated with the CCMG, to never disappoint them, with our commitment to being accountable and proactive.

Companies operating in any of the Industries, which constitute the scope of the contact centre industry, are entitled to apply for membership. They are entitled to apply to be recognised for their good business behaviour and practice in any/all of the 5 categories, earning themselves their Assessment Certification in the successful categories. Once they obtain membership, the company’s Profile will be displayed on the CCMG Corporate Directory reflecting their Assessment status, which will be placed on the CCMG Website, who will then benefit from a range of services provided by the CCMG. The purpose in catering to Companies as Registered Members of the CCMG is to ensure that those who participate derive the benefits.

The CCMG offers companies that are members an opportunity to be assessed and recognised for their good business practice in five categories. Not every one of these five categories may apply to emerging and small businesses.
