Often referred to as the melting pot of Asia, Malaysia is celebrated for its rich heritage and diverse cultural tapestry. Kuala Lumpur, as the country’s bustling capital, embodies this spirit of diversity in both its social life and professional environments. For global brands, this environment provides better understanding and service delivery for customers from various cultural backgrounds.

One of Malaysia’s most notable strengths is the multilingual proficiency of its workforce, making it an essential location for Foundever. Many people in Kuala Lumpur are fluent in at least three languages, including English, Malay and Mandarin. This linguistic versatility makes Malaysia an indispensable asset for companies looking to support customers across various regions, ensuring communication is clear and culturally nuanced.

Access to highly skilled talent

The talent pool in Malaysia is diverse and dynamic, marked by a blend of strong technical skills, multilingual abilities, professional skills and high adaptability. It’s this unique combination that positions Malaysia as a prime destination for top talent in the region. With a literacy rate of 95.71% and 70% of the workforce holding college degrees, Malaysia offers a highly educated and adaptable workforce.

Our new site in Kuala Lumpur, opened in Q2 2024, capitalizes on this skilled talent pool by offering a broad range of specialized services and multilingual support. Whether it’s voice, chat, email or social media support, Foundever in Malaysia offers excellent CX support for brands. This versatility positions Kuala Lumpur as a “one-stop shop” for CX solutions across industries such as travel, financial services, technology, healthcare and e-commerce.

This cultural alignment ensures that our employees deliver high-quality services in an environment that supports both professional development and personal fulfillment. For businesses seeking to expand their contact center operations, Kuala Lumpur offers the perfect blend of professionalism and work-life balance that enhances both employee retention and service excellence.

Technological infrastructure and global connectivity

Kuala Lumpur’s modern infrastructure and excellent global connectivity make it a prime location for managing customer experience. With reliable internet access, advanced telecommunications infrastructure and proximity to key global markets, Kuala Lumpur provides the ideal setting for omnichannel customer support solutions.

Our office is strategically located within Kuala Lumpur City Center and is only around a 40-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, ensuring easy global access.
