12,000 trees planted, representing each employee of the organization

Movate (formerly CSS Corp), a digital technology and customer experience (CX) services provider, organized an extensive tree plantation drive, “Each One, Plant One,” as part of its ESG program to help create a better planet for future generations. The company recently soft-launched its rebranding from CSS Corp to Movate in September, 2022. As part of the rebrand celebrations, Movate had committed to planting an additional 12,000 saplings, one for each employee.

The plantation drive, held at Chennai, witnessed over 500 volunteers, including Movators and their family members, local school and college students, teachers, and lecturers. The local authorities, councillors and the panchayat head were also part of the drive. Together, the company planted a wide variety of trees, including Mahogany, Rosewood, Neem, Indian Tulip, Bedda Nut, and others, in an effort to create a man-made forest for a greener ecosystem. This ongoing environment-friendly activity underlines the core foundation of the company’s ESG values: care and responsibility.

Anish Philip, Chief People Officer at Movate, who was also one of the volunteers at the plantation drive, said, “We have been part of the IT & CX services industry for over 26 years and have come a long way in the last few years. We have tremendously transformed ourselves to align with changing business needs, and it was crucial to have an identity that reflects our growth and evolution into a human-centered technology company. Today, we are Movate, a company built on a strong foundation of care and responsibility toward our employees, clients, and the way we do business. This plantation drive is a gesture to acknowledge all the good work done by everyone who has been and continues to be a part of this wonderful journey. We are delighted to celebrate our new beginning by planting 12,000 saplings of hope for a better planet.”

Movate has been a UNGC member for years now. The senior leadership team is committed to global environmental sustainability and consciously integrates ESG into the company’s core business strategy. In the last couple of years, the company has planted over 25,000 native saplings. Last year, Movate planted over 3,000 saplings, disposed off 442 kg of e-waste through authorized recyclers, and reduced carbon dioxide emissions by almost 5400 Metric Tons, reiterating its commitment to a healthy environment.

Bangalore, India – 27 October 2022

Movate (formerly CSS Corp), a digital technology and customer experience (CX) services provider, in association with the Technology Services Industry Association (TSIA), has released a co-authored report named ‘Leveraging the Power of the Gig Economy’. The report uncovers the key challenges, strategies and recommendations for leveraging the gig workforce while also capturing the real-world benefits and success stories.

The pandemic-induced disruptions have irreversibly changed the workforce dynamics. As a result, the industry is seeing a rapid shift from traditional nine-to-five jobs to freelance or contractor positions, especially among millennials and Gen-Z. The co-authored report highlights how companies can stay ahead of the curve by opting for innovative workforce development and engagement models in the new normal. One such powerful approach is the ‘Integrated Gig-Enabled Support Model,’ which brings the best of both worlds, i.e., traditional and gig models, to deliver excellent customer experiences. This support model enables enterprises to tap into their existing pool of customers who have significant product knowledge and onboard them as gig peer experts for providing enterprise support to their fellow customers, thereby reducing or eliminating the costs for training and upskilling.

John Ragsdale, Distinguished Researcher and Vice President of Technology Ecosystems, TSIA, said, “Multiple surveys have shown that younger demographics prefer the flexibility of gig work, but B2B technology firms have so far been wary of this model. Multiple gig marketplaces for technology support have failed due to the inability to assess the skills of gig workers. The Movate OnDemand platform is an innovative take on talent management, and their model has eliminated the risk inherent in previous solutions. The platform is delivering immense value to tech companies, including multiple TSIA members.”

Sid Victor, SVP Sales & Solutions – Support Services at Movate, said, “The work-from-anywhere era has changed the long-held skepticism regarding a remote workforce’s efficiency and dependability. Fueled by the pandemic, the great resignation trend, mass layoffs, and uncertainty about a recession, there is a surge in businesses wanting to shift, adapt, and transform rapidly. At Movate, we have reimagined talent-as-a-service by leveraging our Movate OnDemand platform, a unique gig customer experience ecosystem that harnesses thousands of knowledgeable freelance talent who are alpha users of our customers’ products. In this report, we have outlined the business tactics that enterprises can adopt to stay ahead of the curve amidst the changing dynamics of the modern services workforce.”

Movate has been a long-standing partner of the TSIA. The two organizations regularly collaborate towards the creation of thought leadership through event sponsorships, webinars, and research. Movate’s SVP & Chief Marketing Officer, Vivian Gomes, also serves as part of TSIA’s Partner Advisory Board.
