Welcome Kit- JULY 2017

WELCOME

TO THE FAMILY! Introducing Qualfon

Version updated July 2017

Dear Qualfon Employees, Welcome to Qualfon! As CEO, I know I speak for all of our employees as I proudly inform you about our company mission and the values for which we stand.

First of all, I am fortunate to work with a great group of motivated, loyal and experienced people.

Several members of my leadership team have been with the company for many years.

Alfonso Gonzalez founded Qualfon in 1995, along with an extraordinary team, and embarked on a journey to build a world-class BPO from the ground up with our first clients -- IBM and AT&T. We have been growing ever since and today we have operations in Guyana, India, the Phillippines, Mexico, and the United States to service an expanding list of global clients.

As a private, family-owned company, we treat one another with dignity and respect, and work hard to improve the communities in which we operate.

We hope you take a few minutes to review our Mission Statement, STRIDES values, and our Code of Ethics that are contained in this package. You may find this resource helpful as it has a great deal of information and will answer many questions.

I hope you benefit from the clarity this packet provides, as well as enthusiastically embracing the way we do business. It is simple – "Be the best BPO. Make people's lives better,” enriching the lives of our employees, their families, and their communities.

I believe we are sharing in a great adventure, I hope you find it exciting.

Sincerely Yours,

Mike Marrow Chief Executive Officer

Be the best BPO, Make people’s

www.qualfon.com

Qualfon Focuses on Employees, Families, and Communities Qualfon is a people-driven business process outsourcing (BPO) company and global provider of contact center services. Qualfon’s mission is to “Be the best BPO. Make people’s lives better.” We know that we cannot achieve one without the other, so Qualfon sponsors Mission@Work programs that focus on employee engagement, development, and involvement with helping their communities. Our focus on employees is one reason our agent tenure is twice that of other BPOs.

“We will only be successful as a BPO if we continue to strive toward our goal of making people’s lives better.”

-Mike Marrow, CEO, Qualfon

At Qualfon, we develop employees through regular one-on-one sessions, as well as through Learn@Work with career development classes in our Supervisor Academy certification. Not only do these programs help Qualfon improve as a BPO by preparing future leaders in the company and bolstering the skillset of current leadership, but they also provide Qualfon the opportunity to assist employees with finding their vocation—whether inside or outside of the company.

Our business culture is important to us, and developing employees puts us in a position where we fill over 80% of job openings with internal candidates, rewarding employees for outstanding performance and simultaneously preserving the integrity of our culture. In addition, Qualfon offers our employees compensation and a range of benefits and professional growth opportunities that recognize individual contributions and performance.

But making people’s lives better goes beyond employees; it also refers to employees’ families and our communities. Through our Give@Work and Care@Work programs, we support not only one another but local charities and establishments that provide assistance to the underprivileged, such as shelters for at-risk youth, the homeless, the elderly, and orphans.

Qualfon sets goals for community service hours and monitors our progress through our Mission Index, and the results are sent to the entire organization in Qualfon’s monthly STRIDES Newsletter. The Mission Index also shows results for the You Matter with Mike Survey. Once every two weeks, Qualfon’s CEO, Mike Marrow, sends out his survey, which allows us to view real-time employee engagement, as well as year-over-year comparisons with previous results. Survey replies are segmented between front-line employees, supervisors, and management, and the feedback shows us what we are doing well, along with areas of opportunity.

Qualfon’s Mission@Work programs also include Fun@Work, which is designed to keep employees engaged through fun activities at our contact centers and by creating clubs where employees who share mutual interests can come together in fellowship. Dancing, cooking, crafts, and outdoor activities are a few examples of Fun Clubs.

At Qualfon, we understand that the two key goals in our mission—be the best BPO and Make People’s Lives Better—are symbiotic and that our success as a BPO is reliant on our making people’s lives better.

Employees • Development through leadership classes • Career pathing • Fun clubs • You Matter with Mike Survey

Families • Family-friendly events, such as Qualfon Family Day and Summer Camps

Communities • Support at-risk youth, the homeless, the elderly, and orphans • Host food and clothing drives • Aid people impacted by natural disasters • Support other charitable causes

Qualfon History Qualfon has been serving clients in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry since we were founded in 1995. We began partnering with worldwide Fortune 100 companies to provide sales and customer support for ISP services and soon after, we provided IVR services for clients—including a global stock exchange and television company. From the beginning, we have always focused on taking care of our employees who, in turn, take good care of their customers and our clients.

Qualfon’s history is a beautiful one, full of sacrifices and difficulties, full of prayer and work, and also full of much joy and happiness. It is the history of a united family. In 2006, Alfonso Gonzalez and Abelardo Cruz were on their way to open a new facility in Cebu, Philippines. On the plane, while they were praying, the decision was made to use the opportunity of opening a new facility to publicly consecrate Qualfon to honor God, acting as a family that takes care of each other.

Qualfon called together a team of directors in 2008 for a session of reflection about the organization’s core values. The core values have now become an important part of Qualfon’s daily operations. When we live these values, we build a deeper connection with our clients and make our company stand out in the market.

In March of 2013, Qualfon acquired Data Control Group (DCG), now called Qualfon Data Services Group (DSG). This company specializes in back-office processing.

On May 7th, 2014, Qualfon acquired Center Partners, a U.S.-based contact center outsourcing company that built an excellent reputation for itself over the past 17 years through high-performance sales programs in communications, financial services, technology, and retail industries.

In January of 2016, Qualfon acquired InterMedi@ Marketing Solutions, an organization that has enjoyed over 33 years of prestige in the BPO industry. Founded in 1983, InterMedi@ Marketing Solutions is a trusted leader in providing customer contact management solutions in the business process outsourcing industry. It provides an array of contact center services to companies in healthcare, hospitality, communications, insurance, and financial services from three contact centers in West Chester, PA; Johnstown, PA; and Orangeburg, SC. In March 2016, Qualfon acquired Culture, Service, Growth (CSG). Founded in 2010, CSG is a trusted leader providing customer contact management solutions. Based in San Antonio, Texas, CSG was named as a Top workplace. CSG’s focus on service, authenticity, honesty, and personal and profesional growth; all values that align closely with Qualfon’s Mission and Vision.

Today, we have approximately 13,000 employees serving our international clientele. We have operations located in Guyana, Mexico, Philippines, and the United States. As a global company, Qualfon is a pioneer in establishing relevant new locations for contact centers, and we have a proud history of successfully serving our clients by constantly striving to create real value through the solutions we provide. We were, for example, one of the first call centers operators in Dumaguete, Philippines, and the largest and most established operator in Guyana. Along with our strategic locations, we have expert experience in our industry, high scalability potential, low employee turnover rates, and the financial strength and stability. These factors have Qualfon strongly positioned for further growth.

Our Mission, Our Reason Our mission is to help as many people as possible to pursue their total vocation as individuals and as members of society by creating an ever growing number of job opportunities as we strive to become the outsourcer of choice for our clients.

1. CLIENTS / COSTUMERS

1. Outsourcer of choice Our foundation for business is client satisfaction. The exemplary service we provide results in new and existing clients resolving to make Qualfon their preferred outsourcer.

2. Job opportunities We serve the common good by creating jobs of value. Our jobs bring economic, social, and spiritual growth to our employees, clients, and communities.

3. Total vocation A vocation is the intersection between your talents and the needs of the world. The word “vocation” comes from the Latin word “vocare”, which means “calling.” As people, we find happiness when we work within our calling.

In short, our mission is: Be the best BPO, Make people’s 10

Our Values and Code of Ethics Our Company Values The STRIDES Shield Protects and Guides STRIDES is an acronym that stands for Qualfon’s seven company values: Service, Teamwork, Results, Integrity, Dignity, Encouragement, and Spirituality. We live by this shared belief system and use it as a decision-making framework at all levels. The various colors around the shield represent the diversity of our employees and clients. The star at the center anchors our seven values and guiding principles. The placement of our values around the shield is not arbitrary; every value is intrinsically and irrevocably connected to each of the others.

Great STRIDES: Living Intentionally.

Code of Ethics 2017

Be the best BPO, Make people’s 16

Our Code of Ethics: the roadmap and compass for doing business the right way.

At Qualfon, we believe that acting responsibly is not only the right thing to do, but it is also the good thing to do for our specific mission.

Our Qualfon Code of Ethics has been revised to reflect updates on the scope of our mission and the STRIDES values. It is designed to provide our employees with specific guidance.

Credibility is a priceless asset for any business and any individual. At Qualfon, we have earned our reputation as a mission-and values-driven company. We are extremely happy to be who we are, and we are committed to improving our company every day in order to make people's lives better.

Achieving our mission is critical to our success; the way we achieve it is equally important. Our clients, vendors, employees, and governments trust us and expect us to deliver business results in a responsible manner. Violations to our values at any level in our organization can quickly destroy that trust and confidence and can have significant consequences.

This Code of Ethics sets forth certain conduct requirements for Qualfon’s employees and business partners who make decisions on Qualfon’s behalf, to ensure that we continue to meet the highest standards of our STRIDES values shield.

Please read the Code carefully and comply with its principles and procedures in your day-to-day work.

Thank you for your ongoing efforts on behalf of Qualfon. Qualfon’s fidelity to our mission and values is maintained on the basis of the good decisions we make for ourselves every day.

By acting with integrity, we make people’s lives better for co-workers and for our company.

business practices and conduct that must govern our life here at Qualfon.

1. Role of Ethics and Morals

what is expected for everyone 1.1 Comply with the Code and the Law Understand and comply with the Code of Ethics, as well as with your local criminal and public law.

Seek to use good judgement and avoid the appearance of improper behavior.

If ever in doubt about a course of conduct, ask yourself: Is it consistent with our Qualfon values?

If the answer

Is it ethical?

is “No” to any

Is it legal?

of these questions,

Will it reflect well on me and Qualfon?

do not do it.

Would I want to see it on the news?

22

If you are still uncertain, ask for guidance. Our STRIDES values and our Code of Ethics tries to capture many of the situations that employees will encounter, but we cannot address every circumstance. You can seek help from any of the following: Your Immediate Supervisor Human Development Office Your Local Mission Office Or you can send an email to ethics@qualfon.com or lossprevention@qualfon.com 1.2 The Code and the Law All Qualfon employees are subject to the laws of many countries and other jurisdictions around the world. Employees are expected to comply with the Code of Ethics and all applicable government laws, rules, and regulations.

2.1 Promote a Culture of Ethics and Compliance

2. What Is Expected of Managers

Managers should model appropriate conduct at all times. As a manager, you should, at a minimum: Ensure that the people you supervise understand their responsibilities under our STRIDES values and the Code of Ethics.

Offer opportunities to discuss our STRIDES values and our Code of Ethics and reinforce the importance of ethics and compliance with employees.

Create an environment where employees feel comfortable raising concerns without fear of retaliation.

Consider conduct in relation to STRIDES, the Code of Ethics, and other Qualfon policies 23

when evaluating employees.

Never encourage or direct employees to achieve business results at the expense of ethical conduct or the law.

Always act to stop violations of the Code of Ethics or the law by those you supervise.

2.2 We are all Responsible Reinforcing the importance of living our STRIDES values and being ethically uncompromising in our actions and behaviors is our personal responsibility.

2.3 Qualfon’s Zero-Tolerance Policy For all of our protection and benefit, Qualfon does not tolerate any theft or acts of fraud against the company or any of its constituents.

2.4 We Need Your Help Qualfon has several methods and approaches in detecting violations, but we also need your assistance in preventing, identifying, and counteracting any act that may threaten or cause damage to our company assets.

2.5 Respond to Questions and Concerns If approached with a question or concern related to the Code of Ethics, listen carefully and give the employee your complete attention. Ask for clarification and additional information. Answer any questions you can, but do not feel that you must give an immediate response. Seek help if you need it. If an employee raises a concern that may require investigation under the Code of Ethics, contact the Human Development Office or the site director.

2.6 Reporting Concerns a) Anonymity and Confidentiality When you make a report, you may choose to remain anonymous, although you are encouraged to identify yourself to facilitate communication. If you make your identity known, the investigators will take every reasonable precaution to keep your identity confidential. To help maintain confidentiality, avoid discussing these issues, or any investigation, with other employees. Because we strive to maintain strict confidentiality in all investigations, we may not be able to inform you of the outcome of an investigation.

Report a concern to the Qualfon Business Ethics & Values Line +1 (312) 283.1960 or +1 (877) 283.7105 24

b) Investigations Qualfon takes all reports of possible misconduct seriously. We investigate the matter confidentially, determine whether the Code of Ethics or the law has been violated, and take appropriate corrective action. If you become involved in a Code of Ethics investigation, cooperate fully and answer all questions completely and honestly. c) Retaliation Qualfon’s STRIDES values the help of employees who identify potential ethics violations. Any retaliation against an employee who raises is a violation of the Code of Ethics. If an employee has raised a concern or participated in an investigation, he/she will not experience any adverse employment action due to such report or participation, including separation, demotion, suspension, loss of benefits, threats, harassment, or discrimination. If you work with someone who has raised a concern or provided information in an investigation, you should continue to treat the person with courtesy and respect. If you believe someone has retaliated against you, report it immediately. d) Making False Accusations Qualfon will protect any employee who raises a concern honestly, but it is a violation of the Code of Ethics to knowingly make a false accusation, lie to investigators, or interfere or refuse to cooperate with a Code of Ethics investigation. Honest reporting does not mean that you have to be correct when you raise a concern; you just have to reasonably believe that the information you are providing is accurate.

Qualfon will protect any employee who raises an honest concern.

25

3. Service 3.1 Serving Our Customers and Vendors Our partnerships with clients and customers is significant. We treat partners in the same manner we expect to be treated.

Always deal fairly with clients and customers by treating them honestly and with respect. We will not engage in unfair, deceptive, or misleading practices and we will always present Qualfon in an honest and forthright manner.

4. Teamwork 4.1 Employment Relationship Your employment is voluntary "at-will," which means that you or Qualfon may terminate the employment relationship at any time. The current labor laws in the country of your employment, along with the terms of any employment contract or agreement, govern your employment relationship.

4.2 Conflicts of Interest Act in the best interest of Qualfon while performing your job. A conflict of interest arises when your personal activities and relationships interfere, or appear to interfere, with your ability to act in the best interest of the company.

Take particular care if you are responsible for selecting or dealing with a supplier on behalf of Qualfon.

Determining Conflicts of Interest: In any potential conflict of interest situation, ask yourself: Could my personal interests

If you accept another job that has no conflict of interest or that does not interfere with your position or performance at Qualfon, you must comply with your employment; however, if that relationship is with a supplier, competitor, or customer, or if the business opportunity is similar to Qualfon, you must have the express permission of Qualfon.

In any case, you cannot create, design, develop, or sell any product or service that competes with Qualfon.

To avoid a possible conflict of interest, before taking on another job or commercial commitment, you must discuss the details with your immediate supervisor or Human Development and obtain the respective authorization.

4.3 Political Activity a) Dealing with Governments The global nature of our business often requires that we interact with officials of various governments around the world. Transactions with governments are covered by special legal rules, and are not the same as conducting business with private parties. Consult Qualfon legal department to be certain that you are aware of, understand, and abide by these rules. Please read the Anti-Bribery Policy. b) Participation in the Political Process Qualfon maintains positive relations and legal and limited collaboration with the governments where we operate, but does not participate in national or international political issues of any kind.

5. Results 5.1 Company Assets We protect Qualfon’s assets and use those assets in the manner intended—that is, not for personal benefit or the benefit of anyone other than Qualfon.

Use common sense. For example, the occasional personal phone call or email from your workplace is acceptable. Excessive personal calls or email is a misuse of assets.

Qualfon policy may allow additional personal use of certain assets, such as a Qualfon car or wireless communication device. Always check relevant local policies to ensure that you are using Qualfon assets as intended.

Theft of Qualfon assets—whether physical theft, such as unauthorized removal of company equipment or information, or theft through embezzlement or intentional misreporting of time or expenses—may result in termination and criminal prosecution. The company treats workplace theft of assets belonging to other employees the same way it treats theft of company assets.

The use of Qualfon assets outside of your responsibilities—such as using company materials or equipment to support personal interests—requires prior, written approval from Qualfon’s director.

You must have this approval renewed annually, if you continue to use the asset outside of work.

27

5.2 Use of Time, Equipment, and Other Assets

Do not engage in personal activities during work hours that interfere with or prevent you from fulfilling your job responsibilities.

Do not use Qualfon computers and equipment for outside businesses or for illegal or unethical activities, such as gambling, pornography, or offensive subject matter.

Do not take for yourself any opportunity for financial gain that you learn about because of your position at Qualfon or through the use of company property or information.

5.3 Personal Use of Computers, Laptops, Email and Voice Messaging Qualfon's computers, email, and voicemail are for employment purposes. They can be used for personal purposes only occasionally and/or in extreme cases, but always in a responsible and ethical way.

However, as a governing principle, these systems and equipment are owned by Qualfon, so it is up to the company to monitor their use. Unauthorized software, data, or hardware cannot be added to a computer belonging to Qualfon without proper permission.

The abuse of email includes but is not limited to: the use of email to violate the laws or policies of Qualfon; to send offensive, suggestive, or obscene messages; or to harass another employee. The email messages are stored for a given time period, and you should not send any information by email that would be inappropriate if submitted in written form.

Computers, email, and voice messages are monitored and can be reviewed at any time by the company in accordance with legal procedures. You cannot monitor the electronic files, paper files, email, or voice messages of another employee or client without the permission of that employee or the Legal Department.

For questions, refer to the Acceptable Use of Resources Policy, the Email Use Policy, and any related policy or procedure.
