Teleperformance revolutionizes the Work-at-Home environment with TP Cloud Campus

Tweet

Manila, Philippines - Teleperformance, a global leader in digitally integrated business services, recently announced a revolutionary new global operating model, the Teleperformance Cloud Campus, an innovative solution for enabling the ‘new normal’ work-at-home (WAH) environment.

Prior to the pandemic, as part of its future-of-work development process, Teleperformance was already designing and testing an enhanced model for improving customer experience, client results, and employee well-being and development through socially connected, virtual teams. The Teleperformance Cloud Campus was specifically designed to provide a remote, socially enriched working environment, allowing companies to easily expand their business and deliver superior customer experiences through Teleperformance’s unique, cloud-centric model.

Home-based interaction experts can now work from anywhere in the world while remaining connected virtually to their Teleperformance team through one of their Cloud Campus Hubs. These centralized command centers keep remote agents connected and engaged while providing an opportunity for clients to interact with a dispersed workforce. The highly functional design blends proprietary Teleperformance technology, analytics, and process excellence (TAP) with best-of-breed technologies to form a uniquely efficient global solution.

The operating capabilities of Teleperformance Cloud Campus includes virtual talent acquisition, training, development, coaching, team building, learning, client interaction, quality control, and data security management, as well as emotional well-being and rich social interaction for employees. Gamification is utilized for employee fun, socialization, and education as part of the new Teleperformance ‘campus life’. 

For Teleperformance, protecting sensitive information is key, which is why their Cloud Campus solution ensures that data remains secure within remote environments. Their Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) Architecture is PCI Certified and other security measures include multi-factor authentication, device lockdown and the usage of virtual sessions to ensure that no data is stored locally.

Among the many benefits of Teleperformance Cloud Campus is having access to a broader workforce, with its ability to reach skilled interaction experts around the world, enhanced business resilience, sustainability and diversity, and the flexibility to meet changing demands as companies can easily scale up or down based on business needs. 

Teleperformance Cloud Campus is available to support all industries, geographies, and applications and is currently deployed globally in a diverse set of industry sectors including e-commerce, utilities, telecom, and healthcare – several of which were implemented before the Covid-19 outbreak. The company now has more than 200,000 employees working from home worldwide, i.e. 80% of all active employees. An increasing number of clients and Teleperformance WAH employees will continue transitioning to this unique delivery model this year.

Teleperformance Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Daniel Julien said, “To be clear, conventional facilities continue to play an important role in our operational delivery strategy. As the global industry leader and a top employer worldwide, we constantly re-envision alternative work and delivery models that can benefit our clients, their customers and, of course, our employees. We developed, tested, and began implementing the Teleperformance Cloud Campus with select clients last year. It is a fantastic model for both clients and for the emotional well-being and professional growth of our work-at-home staff. Since COVID-19 hit the world, we have rapidly transitioned 80% of our global workforce to a work-at-home model to align with the ‘new normal’. Teleperformance Cloud Campus orchestrates the delivery of work-at-home in a precise and effective manner, to best serve our clients and best care for our more than 200,000 strong remote employees - both now and in the future.”

With Work-at-Home solutions in high demand, Teleperformance Cloud Campus is an efficient and effective model for hiring, training and managing remote teams while ensuring exceptional, consistent customer experiences.

“Businesses today are looking for resiliency and a partner that can help them adapt to the rapid changes of today. With many companies looking at work-at-home as part of their strategy, Teleperformance Cloud Campus gives them the agility their business needs while ensuring the safety of employees, which is of utmost importance now and most certainly in the future,” shared Mike Lytle, Chief Operating Officer of Teleperformance Philippines.

GCash helps disburse close to 2B gov’t financial aid to 335,000 Filipinos

Tweet

GCash, the undisputed leading and preferred mobile wallet in the Philippines, has helped both the national and local governments to disburse close to 2 billion in financial aid to more than 335,000 Filipinos who were adversely affected by the national health situation.

Since the start of the community quarantine periods in March, government agencies both local and national have tapped GCash for the quick, safe, secure, and transparent distribution of their own financial support to intended beneficiaries.

For local governments -- including central business districts Makati City, Quezon City, and Pasig City -- GCash has so far disbursed a more than P1.5 billion to over 310,000 beneficiaries. It has also disbursed more than P300 million to over 25,000 beneficiaries of the social amelioration program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

“The government has realized that financial technology is no longer just a means for convenience, but it is now a necessity. The disbursement of financial aid close to 2B to over 335,000 beneficiaries and still growing through the GCash platform is just the tip of the iceberg. We continue to facilitate the distribution of financial aid to more Filipinos nationwide,” GCash President and CEO Martha Sazon said.

As the pioneering mobile wallet in the Philippines, GCash saw its platform as an effective means of distributing financial aid to those who were most affected by the national health situation.

Government agencies and local government units saw the value of using GCash as an effective, efficient, and transparent means of disbursing the financial assistance to their constituents.

National government agencies that have tapped GCash, through its partnership with the DSWD, for the distribution of financial aid include the Department of Transportation-Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (DOTr-LTFRB), and the Social Security System (SSS).

Just recently, GCash was mentioned by no less than President Rodrigo Roa Duterte in his report to Congress, saying that GCash has powered the government’s efforts in providing relief to drivers who were affected by the community quarantine. GCash allowed the government to use its platform for free.

“As a strong government partner, GCash supports the government in its efforts to curb the spread of the virus. Through our safe, secure, transparent, and convenient platform, we have lessened the need for physical distribution centers, reducing the risk of transmission,” Sazon said.

Likewise, beneficiaries of the financial aid programs were able to use their mobile wallets for a variety of financial services. GCash empowers users to pay for physical and online transactions to over 75,000 merchants, transact with over 400 billers, and transfer funds to over 40 banks in the Philippines. GCash users may also use their GCash wallets to buy airtime load, save money, invest in money market funds, and purchase insurance products.

Beneficiaries also have the option of cashing out their financial assistance from partner establishments such as Puregold, Villarica Pawnshops, as well as ATMs through their GCash MasterCard.

“We can only beat this virus through collective efforts. We look forward to serving more Filipinos through these partnerships with the government,” Sazon said.

Globe Fintech Innovations Inc. (Mynt), which operates GCash, is part of the portfolio companies of 917Ventures, the largest corporate incubator in the Philippines wholly-owned by Globe Telecom Inc.

GCash is available for download on the App Store and Google Play. For more information, kindly visit https://www.gcash.com/.

No “Rush”: Gyl St-Pierre’s Slow But Sure TikTok Success

Tweet

MANILA - He is a huge fan of the MMA Fighter, Georges St-Pierre. Thus, adapting the name Gyl St-Pierre. Gyl has been creating short form videos on TikTok for over four years. As one of the pioneers of the app, he was able to see how its content and trends really changed over the years. “Dati, di pa ganito yung TikTok, na kahit anong pwede mong gawin. It was all hand gestures saka yung transitions,” he recalls. 

As TikTok evolved, so did Gyl’s content. He started off with transition videos and comedy skits, and eventually shifted to sharing TikTok tips. He says, “Imbis na yung mga usual content, sabi ko magturo nalang ako. Eventually, after siguro ng TikTok Tip No. 28, kasi yun yung sumikat, rumolyo na sya ng tuloy tuloy. Nag-iinclude na ako ng, hindi lang tips, pano gawin yung hashtag trends. As in yung kahit na mga simple na function sa TikTok like pano mag-duet, tinuro ko na rin, kasi hindi pa rin pala yon alam ng mga tao.”

These how-to videos are some of Gyl’s most-viewed posts. You can check out his TikTok Tip 28, which teaches newbies how to get noticed by more established TikTokers and their followers, here.

This video on how to do TikTok duets is another fan favorite, with over 3.2M views to date.

While cities were on quarantine due to the ongoing pandemic, Gyl’s following really started to grow. But it was only after he established the “Ya Cult” that Gyl St-Pierre was finally propelled to true TikTok famous status. After reaching the 1-million follower mark, Gyl shared this emotional thank you video to his fans on the platform.

When asked about his rise to popularity and what’s coming next for him, Gyl shares, “Kung hindi nag-quarantine, I don’t think mahi-hit ko yung 1M. Before kasi, nasa 800k lang ako eh. Naging way yung Ya Cult trend to amplify my content. And ngayon, I’m making my content centered about sharing and teaching.” 

As a creator, Gyl would like to be known as someone who shares his knowledge and know-how freely, without being asked by anyone. He hopes that users who are just starting out on TikTok will be able to learn a lot from him, too. His ultimate tip for starting creators is this.

“Sipag and tiyaga lang. Kasi at the end of the day, kung kunyare nakaasa ka lang, parang you bank on it sa isang video mo lang, ito binuhos ko dito lahat, tapos nag-flop sya, sobrang masamang feeling. Sisipagan mo lang paggawa ng content, tiya-tiyagain mo lang mag-post araw-araw. Ayun, yun lang talaga.
