<p>A group of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) employees welcomed the Department of Labor and Employment’s (DOLE) response to their complaints regarding unsafe work practices.</p>

<p>According to the BPO Industry Employees Network (BIEN Pilipinas), Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma has ordered inspections of 98 BPO companies across the country.</p>

<p>The inspections were prompted by numerous complaints received by DOLE alleging that employees were forced to report to work despite severe weather conditions and earthquakes.</p>

<p>BIEN National President Mylene Cabalona stressed that companies prioritize profit over the safety of their workers.</p>

<p>She added that forcing employees to work during disasters constitutes a violation of DOLE’s Occupational Safety and Health Law.</p>

<p>Earlier, BPO employees in Cebu filed complaints against a company that allegedly required them to report to work immediately after a strong earthquake struck in September.</p>

<p>Workers also reported being advised to continue reporting to offices during typhoons and floods, raising concerns about their safety and well-being.</p>

<p>DOLE’s move to investigate BPO firms is seen as a step toward ensuring compliance with labor standards and protecting employees from hazardous working conditions.</p>
