Teleperformance Philippines recently announced its partnership with Project Inclusion Network (PIN), a non-profit organization that works towards realizing the potential of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) to actively participate in and productively contribute to society.
As part of the partnership, Teleperformance Philippines will assist PIN in identifying employable people with disabilities from their network of partner institutions, communities, and organizations that teach and train people with impairments. Moving forward, both organizations will be collaborating towards improving knowledge and comprehension of behavioral concepts and processes in the workplace, through increased productivity and integration.
Teleperformance Philippines has been employing persons with disabilities across its sites. Zeke, one of the staff of Teleperformance Citizen of the World (COTW) Store and a deaf employee, shared his experience working in the company. “Just like me, anyone – regardless of disability – can perform and contribute to the success of [a] company. I am blessed to belong to a team that is fully supportive of me and encourages me to
be better.”
Aside from employment opportunities, Teleperformance Philippines also donated PhP 150,000 towards PIN’s efforts.
Teleperformance Philippines is a champion of diversity and inclusion. They recently held the Disability Visibility Matters initiative, whose goal is to collect critical baseline data that may be used in building relevant and beneficial programs for these people. They also held a Sensitivity Training webinar, which trained their leaders and equipped them with skills to build a more inclusive workplace. Teleperformance Philippines also participated in a career fair for PWDs, as well as a parade to advocate for autism programs in early 2020.
Teleperformance Philippines has been certified a Great Place to Work for four consecutive years by the prestigious Great Place to Work Institute — just in time for its 25th year anniversary in the country. The certification is awarded to companies who have passed the Trust Index Survey, which is anonymously taken by employees. This year had the highest participation rate among Teleperformance Philippines’ 52,000 workforce across 22 business sites in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
