Paul is that rare combination of smarts, discipline, vision, drive, and affability—all must-haves in leading the Focus Family and expanding the company’s domestic and international industry presence. It’s a big job, so he’s all business. Except when he’s not.

Focus on Giving

We demonstrate our appreciation and care for the communities where we serve with our Focus on Giving program. Every month, our different teams in the Philippines, El Salvador, and the United States have the opportunity to propose and execute charity work in their local communities.

From supporting a variety of non-profits, such as helping children, elderly, low-income, and shelters, to volunteering in different causes, we strive to serve our communities the best we can. It enriches our lives and brings us together as a team. Together we make a difference!

Giving Tree

At the heart of our company is the Giving Tree initiative. Sustained by our employee contributions, this program is a fund where employees donate to assist their peers navigating through unexpected crises or health issues. Giving Tree also empowers our employees to contribute gifts, brightening the holiday season for their colleagues’ children who might be facing financial difficulties. This program is a testament to our employees’ generosity.

Marketplace

We give our employees the opportunity to be personally involved in something truly amazing, whether it’s building a school in Guatemala, making meals for the homeless, or linking up with a client’s service initiative. It enriches our lives and brings us together as team. Our employees make it possible—together we make a difference!

Fun Activities

Fun is an integral part of our daily routine. Our dedicated ‘Fun and Culture’ department regularly organizes various activities on the floor and on our social media platforms, ranging from contests and games to distributing small gifts and delicious snacks.

Every week, we encourage our employees to elevate their creativity by dressing up for our themed ‘Wacky Wednesdays’. We will never know what to expect, but everyone loves it!

These initiatives help us recharge our energies, boost our teamwork, and support our employees’ mental health.

Achieve University & Achieve Program

We are committed to empowering our employees to reach their full potential and thrive. Achieve University offers our employees the opportunity to explore diverse career paths, such as coaching or quality assurance, through free Udemy memberships. These memberships grant access to a wide range of courses that encourage continuous learning and professional development. In addition, our Achieve program is specifically designed to cultivate leadership skills, providing our employees with the essential resources to become leaders within Focus.

Training Incentives

From day one, we strive to make our trainee agents feel valued and welcomed. They are greeted with an array of exciting incentives, including a welcome kit filled with practical items such as gym bags, notebooks, pencils, and thermos flasks. Additionally, we kickstart their journey in our online store -the Marketplace- by providing them with 1,000 Clearview Coins. This is just the beginning of our commitment to creating a rewarding work environment.

Development

Big vision and a lot of very small steps march a company on the right path. At Focus, we help people map out their development . Building their skills, competence and confidence yields outstanding service for your customers: every day, every week, every month, making things a little bit better.

Innovation

We constantly strive to redefine the standard of excellence in everything we do. Therefore, we are open to ideas that challenge the conventional views and drive innovation. The only constant in life is change and we believe that in order to stay relevant we must constantly improve with society’s changing needs.

Faith

Our goal is to invest in each individual and provide opportunities for transformative growth in every aspect of life – physically, financially, emotionally and spiritually. Our mission is to transform lives through the work we do, and that starts with our employees. Giving them the resources they need to grow.

Fun

One of the really fun aspects of our company culture is the camaraderie we share. We believe that wholeness must start internally, but it inevitably impacts the way we interact with clients too. We’re in the habit of looking for ways to bring delight into any situation and make each person feel valued. There’s no one-size-fits-all version of fun, but each day presents us with a new opportunity to find some way to bring joy to ourselves, our team and, ultimately, our customers.
