In a statement, Roy of CIB.O affirmed the influence of Cebu’s IT-BPO sector and its key players, such as Teleperformance, in the overall agenda to strengthen national and local economic development.
“[It] is for this reason that CIB.O is bringing back its annual awards and recognition initiative to celebrate the companies in Cebu that made a difference in the industry through their outstanding performance, astounding contributions to the regional and national economies, and for setting prime example for each and every other organization to follow and aspire to emulate,” says Roy.
Teleperformance, with two locations and nearly 8,000 employees in Cebu City as of Q1 2023, stands out for creating jobs and contributing to the local economy’s post-pandemic recovery.
Since the establishment of its Cebu IT Park and Cebu Insular sites in 2005 and 2011, Teleperformance has provided over 24,000 in combined indirect employment opportunities, encompassing essential roles such as janitorial services, security officers, drivers, store attendants, food vendors, and more.
Teleperformance Philippines Chief Executive Officer and Country Head Francisco ‘Sisco’ Lara highlights teamwork, strong people-focus, and collaboration as key factors driving Teleperformance’s success, in a separate statement.
“We have always strived to create an environment where people can thrive both personally and professionally.
