MISSISSAUGA, Ontario—CCEOC Inc. announced today that all three FedEx Express Canada Customer Service Centres have achieved the prestigious Contact Center Employer of Choice® designation for 2011. This is the eighth consecutive year FedEx Express Canada, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX), has participated in the program and achieved certification.
The Contact Center Employer of Choice® (CCEOC) program has enabled FedEx Express Canada contact centres to enhance public perception, build exceptional work environments, and attract, retain and engage high-performing, culturally-aligned employees. By targeting the key recommendations outlined in the CCEOC Summary Reporting, FedEx Express Canada has experienced significant stress reduction, increased employee satisfaction, increased customer satisfaction and reduced turnover. As a result of their success, FedEx Express Canada Customer Service Centres have become the global benchmark for measuring FedEx contact centres worldwide.
FedEx Express Canada is the only contact centre to achieve Platinum ranking three years in a row.
“Every year, when we see the FedEx certification scores, it never ceases to amaze me how consistent and high scoring they are”, said Jeff Doran, president of CCEOC, Inc.
FedEx Express Canada has completely embraced the “employer of choice” philosophy and is seeing consistent results year over year.
“Their success with the CCEOC program is a testimonial to all the extraordinary effort and dedication in building a world-class culture where people are the most important part of the operation,” said Doran. “Being recognized as a certified CCEOC re-enforces FedEx Express Canada’s customer service division as a preferred employer and one of the best organizations to work for in the country.”

The Contact Center Employer of Choice® award is the industry standard for recognizing and branding people-centric contact centers. Through a proprietary assessment process, a contact center can quickly determine if it meets the qualification standards. A center can achieve a Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum ranking. Once the designation is achieved, the contact center is profiled on the official CCEOC corporate web-site www.ccemployerofchoice.com, receives a prestigious framed certificate and is promoted through various print and electronic news channels. The CCEOC designation is valid for 12 months.
