Highlighting its commitment to promote the safety and welfare of its employees, Teleperformance Philippines will offer free COVID-19 vaccinations for its more than 47,000 employees in the country.
This is line with the global initiative of Teleperformance to provide free access to vaccines for all its employees worldwide.
As the nation awaits the ongoing government reviews to allow distribution of the vaccine, Teleperformance Philippines is currently collaborating with government agencies and employers in the country to quickly secure the supply of safe and effective FDA-approved vaccines for 100 percent of its employees.
Teleperformance chairman and chief executive officer Daniel Julien said that nothing is more important in fulfilling the company’s mission than the safety and health of all its employees.
“Since the beginning of this grave crisis, we have done everything in our power to ensure business continuity for our clients and protect the health and safety of our employees, our partners, and jobs in the communities where the Group is present. Now, more than ever, we are focused on the same priorities,” he added.
“Based on strong relationships with healthcare partners and in compliance with government decisions and procurement agendas, we are well prepared across the world to assist in securing critical COVID-19 vaccinations for our employees. The reimbursement of vaccination costs for our staff is another critical step in this commitment to our employees. We will support every employee in the Group who wants the vaccine, especially in countries where the public or private insurance system doesn’t cover the cost,” Julien further said.
Teleperformance chief executive officer for US, Canada, and Philippines Mike Lytle said that from the beginning, the safety and well-being of employees has been the company’s priority.
“While the past year has definitely been a challenging one for the company and its many employees and partners, the announcement of the vaccine brings hope for everyone across the globe and we are committed to giving free access to this for all our employees. As we wait for the distribution of the vaccine, we continue to maintain a positive outlook for the industry and the country. We enjoin everyone in the ongoing fight against COVID-19 by continuing to follow the government’s lead and practice safety measures and protocols wherever they are,” he added.
Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, 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 country guidelines. – NND
