Convergys Corporation Donation to Aid Employees in Oklahoma City Area.

MOORE, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 1999--

In the aftermath of Monday's devastating tornadoes, Convergys Corporation today announced a donation of $50,000 to meet the immediate needs of its Oklahoma City area employees affected by the disaster.

About 1,400 employees work at Convergys' suburban Oklahoma City call center in Moore, one of the communities hardest hit by the twisters that hit the area on May 3. The Call Center in Moore was near the path of the deadly tornadoes but continued operating through the disaster. It has since served as the official collection center for goods donated by area residents to the American Red Cross, and has also housed several families since the twisters hit.

"Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Oklahoma City and especially to our employees and their families who have suffered this great loss of life and property," said Jim Orr, President and chief executive officer of Convergys. "I am very grateful to the thousands of Convergys employees around the world who are giving so unselfishly to help their co-workers. I am especially proud of our employees in the Moore area for responding so quickly and setting a very positive example for us in supporting other members of the community."

"Not only have our employees suffered tragedies among their families, more than 100 have lost all or parts of their homes," said Dave Dougherty, president of the Convergys Customer Management Group, which operates the call center in Moore. "The severe and immediate needs of dozens of our employees are a very high priority. That's why we have established the Employee's Disaster Relief Fund and seeded it with $50,000. Our employees in more than 30 other locations have stepped forward to make voluntary donations. I am very proud of all our employees in the Oklahoma City area and believe they have performed magnificently under the most difficult of circumstances."
