Teleperformance Philippines, a leading global group in digitally integrated business services, has partnered with local government units across the Visayas and Mindanao to extend COVID-19 vaccination to its employees.
More than 3,500 employees of Teleperformance in its VisMin sites have been fully vaccinated through the vaccination rollout of LGUs in line with the government’s guidelines to prioritize Filipinos under the A4 sector, or the essential workers.
In Bacolod City, the COVID-19 Vaccination Council, chaired by Mayor Evelio Leonardia, extended an exclusive vaccination program to TP employees and their immediate family members.
Teleperformance in Cebu worked together with the province and the Project Balik Buhay for the inoculation of its employees, while in Davao, the company sponsored the venue for the vaccinations organized by the Davao Information and Communications Technology Council, in partnership with the city government.
Aside from Teleperformance employees, the inoculation also accommodated workers from other Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) companies in the city, a press release from TP said.
As an essential industry, Teleperformance provides services to support clients, with many in industries that are critical to the continued running of day-to-day lives in the Philippines and across the globe, including healthcare, telecommunications, financial services, and e-commerce.
Teleperformance Philippines chief operations officer, Joey Marquez, reiterated the company’s commitment to keep employees protected from the virus and to align with government efforts to fight the pandemic.
“Since COVID-19 struck in March last year, Teleperformance has paid careful attention to protecting its employees, notably with a strong focus on health and hygiene standards in all its locations, millions of masks proactively secured and distributed to its staff, the assertive move to a work-at-home delivery model in conjunction with its clients, and enforcement of extra physical distance at its operational sites, over and above local guidelines,” Marquez added.
The company has also partnered with the government and the industry for its TPVac program, which aims to provide vaccines as a free, optional staff benefit for over 51,000 employees in 22 business sites across the National Capital Region, Antipolo, Cavite, Baguio, Bacolod, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, and Davao.
It also helped LGUs in their fight against COVID-19, via its corporate social responsibility arm Citizen of the World, through donations to various organizations that are at the forefront in fighting the deadly coronavirus. | NND
