Business processing outsourcing company Teleperformance Philippines on Thursday said it will vaccinate more than 47,000 employees for free once government-approved jabs are secured.
It is part of the global group's efforts to immunize 100% of its 330,000 employees worldwide, especially in countries where national healthcare systems can not support free vaccinations for workers.
The group holds office in over 83 countries and offers end-to-end digital solutions for large businesses in many industries worldwide.
While awaiting supply of safe vaccines and the go signal from local authorities, Teleperformance Philippines continues to protect its employees during the pandemic by moving to a work-from-home setup and upholding health standards in workplaces, all in accordance with government protocols.

"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," Teleperformance Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Daniel Julien said.
"As we wait for the distribution of the vaccine, we continue to maintain a positive outlook for the industry and the country," Teleperformance Chief Executive Officer for US, Canada, and Philippines Mike Lytle said.
Previously, McDonald's Philippines and Alliance Global Group, Inc. promised free jabs for their employees once vaccines are made available to the private sector.
