Diversity and Inclusion
And to understand people means being at the forefront of diversity and inclusion. Our business cannot succeed if we do not embrace this ethos. But we don’t just value diversity because it makes business sense as global citizens. Our team members work hard to make the world a better place, whether through volunteering their time to help others, or making contributions that can aid underprivileged children.
Our perspective as a company is shaped by the experiences of our global team members who represent every imaginable part of the global community. We are the most multicultural team in our industry, with 300K employees in 80 countries, serving 170 markets in 265 languages. Each customer is unique and our diversity allows us to interact with them in a unique way.
It is our duty as a responsible global organization to share with the world our strong efforts at a global and local level to show how we value diversity.
A Commitment to Gender Diversity
Being a great place for women to work means understanding and respecting each professional and each individual. We have made a strategic priority to promote and achieve gender equality. As such, we have launched a global initiative called TP Women. Teleperformance has more than 300,000 individuals 47.5% male and 52.5% female. We believe that gender balance is key.
This initiative supports four key objectives:
- To create a more gender-diverse workforce at all levels across Teleperformance globally
- To improve the promotion of female staff in senior positions
- To develop a network of women and men as educators and advocates towards workplace equality
- To encourage a gender-sensitive leadership culture

We take pride in our multicultural DNA
At Teleperformance, we value our diverse workforce. We understand that everyone deserves to be respected and treated as a person, no matter where one hails from or who they are. At global and local levels, we make every effort to promote our commitment to diversity and inclusion, creating and participating in projects that are inclusive of minority and underrepresented populations. For us, this effort never stops.
We will continue to fight for non-discriminatory practices and promote tolerance. Doing this is in our DNA. It’s the right thing to do for the world and for our company.
