To achieve this recognition, based on their own employees' feedback, under these conditions is outstanding. We are very happy to recognize Teleperformance in the United States of America as a Great Place to Work®-Certified company.”
Travis Coates, Chief Operating Officer, Teleperformance USA, commented: “We are honored that our team has earned our very first US Great Place to Work® Institute certification and set a new standard for our entire industry sector. This recognition is especially meaningful because the process includes significant feedback and anonymous ratings from our own employees. We have worked very hard together as a team this year to rapidly and successfully redeploy a large percentage of our staff to WFH. Our leadership has an ongoing top priority of listening to our staff so we can continuously improve together as one team. I thank and congratulate every single team member for making us a one-of-a-kind Great Place to Work®.”

It is great to see our operations in the US gain benchmark status as a top employer. This certification represents good progress for both our US operations and the Group as a whole; Teleperformance will never become complacent when it comes to the care of our employees anywhere and everywhere. 87% of our entire worldwide staff of 330,000+ people now work in independently certified best employer operations, which is a very high attainment standard for any large employer regardless of industry.
