Call-Center Staffing

IFB Solutions Workforce Services connects government and commercial companies with a skilled, flexible, workforce for customer service, data collection and analysis, sales and more.

IFB strives to be America’s leader in building life-changing opportunities for people who are blind through its mission of creating employment opportunities for this critically underemployed population. IFB’s guiding principles focus on creating upwardly mobile career paths, and many of our employees in the Workforce Services division have grown into their roles by taking advantage of training and upskilling opportunities available at IFB and in their communities.

Our employees want to work.

They don’t take opportunities like this for granted, and consistently represent the lowest turn-over, highest QA scores, and best performance out of any sighted peer group.

If this sounds like a good fit for your organization’s call center and customer service needs, let’s talk:

Filling Needs

Our employees are legally blind; some have partial vision and some experience total vision loss. Technology and training bridge the gap, creating a highly productive workforce with extremely low-turnover.

We’re a practical and impactful way for organizations to fill staffing needs. In the process, our goal is to make your life easier and make your customers feel valued.

Reliable Workforce

Our candidates exhibit higher retention rates (lowering your training costs) and higher quality call center interactions. Calls are resolved quickly with higher rates of customer satisfaction, deepening customer relationships and allowing you to focus on your organization’s growth.

We Hire and Train

• All of our candidates are recommended based on professional experience in your industry
• IFB Solutions trains candidates to work within your organization’s infrastructure
• IFB Solutions provides continued technical support for assistive devices

Getting Started

We start by learning how can we support your business goals; let us know what you need to help you care for your customers. We will discuss what is needed for integrating assistive technology with your systems, the scope of the support needed and use what we’ve learned to draft a proposal for your review.

The Power of Employment

Imagine you wake up one morning and you can’t see like you did the day before. You would probably be frightened, unsure of how to move forward in your life. As a person who is visually impaired you would face new challenges: how to navigate new spaces, how to get to the store, how to know how much money is in your wallet. How would you earn a living?

Employment has a huge impact on your lifestyle. Without steady income, you would be dependent on others for basic necessities like food and shelter.

70% of working-age adults who are blind or visually impaired are not employed.

Let’s get started.
