Teleperformance has just been awarded as one of the Philippines Best Workplaces™ in 2022. This was announced during the virtual reveal that premiered live on Great Place to Work® Philippines via YouTube.

In total, 25 workplaces are ranked as “Philippines Best Workplaces” according to research and consulting firm, Great Place to Work® Philippines.

The Philippines Best Workplaces™ List is highly competitive. Regarded as the global authority on workplace culture, seasoned consultants from Great Place to Work® curate the List using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. Companies are only considered if they are first, a Great Place to Work-Certified™ organization. In the qualifying year of 2021, nearly 100 companies in the Philippines were Great Place to Work-Certified™. (Only companies who attain at least 65% on Great Place to Work® Trust Index© Survey can attain the Certification.)

Great Place to Work® is the only company culture award in the world that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated and what their workplace experience is like. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is.

“With the continuous disruptions that companies face, the Best Workplaces in the Philippines remain grounded in their purpose and values. They continue to put their people first. They prioritize the holistic well-being of their employees as fatigue and burnout become more evident in workplaces,” says Antoniette Mendoza-Talosig, Managing Partner of Great Place to Work® Philippines and Principal Consultant of Great Place to Work® ASEAN.

Teleperformance Philippines Chief Operations Officer Joey Marquez underlined the significance of this achievement: "This milestone gives us the perfect opportunity to showcase our values, the Teleperformance culture, and the great work of our people in delivering excellent customer service to our customers, clients, and stakeholders. This recognition further inspires us to create more remarkable experiences for our people – whether they may be working in one of business sites across the country, or in their homes."

Teleperformance said that they will continue to move forward towards their goals while upholding the high standards of being a Best Place to Work™. The company also looks forward to giving back through the Citizen of the World corporate sustainability programs and initiatives. Most of all, Teleperformance will carry on fostering a TP culture that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive for all.

Teleperformance has been certified Great Place to Work® in the Philippines consecutively in the last four years, becoming the first company in the Philippines to achieve this feat. The Trust Index Survey conducted in 2021 by the Great Place to Work® Institute had the highest participation rate among the Teleperformance Philippines employees across all 22 business sites.

During the pandemic, employee initiatives held by Teleperformance were recognized by various sectors such as the Safety Seal Committee certifying Teleperformance business sites that ensure health and safety protocols against COVID-19. Teleperformance also rolled out free COVID-19 vaccination for employees through the TPVac program and currently has a partnership with the government to conduct vaccinations in various Teleperformance Philippines workplaces for employees and their loved ones.

In addition, Teleperformance celebrates diversity and inclusion through empowering both Women and the LGBTQ+ community through their TP Women and TP Pride councils as they raise awareness and educate employees through year-long initiatives.

Warmer weather is here. It’s time once again to rethink your skincare routine and how it should change with the season. That’s because it’s important to update our routine, especially in the summertime when it can get too hot and make your skin dry, irritated, and prone to breakouts. Not sure where to start? Here are four tips to help you prep your skin for summer.

Build your skincare routine. By knowing your skin’s needs, you’ll be able to know how to take care of your skin and build a routine for summer or any season. Luckily, Hello Glow has skincare sets that come in handy that provide you with complete regimen. The Hello Glow Acne Defense Set is perfect for treating acne-prone skin with its anti-acne ingredients such as Salicylic acid and Tea tree extract, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties. If you have oily skin, then the Hello Glow Advanced Rejuvenating Set might just do the trick for you. This set comes with 4 products which are designed to lighten, smoothen, hydrate, and repair the skin, leaving your skin refreshed, glowing, plump. The Hello Glow Blemish Miracle Set can also help fade dark spots, refine pores, and works to soothe, refresh, brighten, and soften your skin. Lastly, the Hello Glow All-Natural Whitening Set which is formulated to help treat acne, moisturize and rejuvenate your skin without any pain. This set is perfect, especially for dry and sensitive skin.

Hydrate your skin with Hello Glow Rosewater Multi-protection Skin Mist 

Get serious with cleansing. Cleansing is also one of the best ways to make sure you remove all traces of pore-clogging dirt, grease, and makeup without the risk of drying out your skin. When it comes to achieving glowing skin, the Hello Glow Micellar Cleansing Water can be your best friend. It contains micellar technology, Centella Asiatica, and licorice root extract to help soothe, moisturize, brighten, and delay the appearance of fine lines while gently cleansing your skin.

 Relieve skin irritation with Hello Glow Rosewater Soothing Gel

Hydrate your skin regularly. Excessive summer heat can dehydrate your skin, so it's important to keep it moisturized during the summer. Aside from drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water a day, you should also consider applying Hello Glow Rosewater Multi-protection Skin Mist after washing your face and before going to bed at night. This mist spray is made with hyaluronic acid to keep your skin moisturized and radiant. You can also use the Hello Glow Rosewater Soothing Gel as an all-natural sunblock too! This product is formulated with rosewater to control excess sebum and regulate skin’s pH balance, as well as Aloe vera extract to boost collagen production and relieve skin irritation.

Use sunscreen. Always wear sunscreen. Sunscreen blocks harmful UV rays from the sun and prevents damage to the skin, like sunburn. Protect your skin with Hello Glow Anti-Pollution Tinted Sunscreen. This tinted sunscreen adapts to the color of your skin and provides the ultimate sun protection against harmful UV Rays and Pollutstop Technology versus other external pollution. For the ultimate sun protection, you can also use the Hello Glow 3-in-1 Lightweight Sun Care Gel that contains aloe vera and bamboo extract, which can be very soothing for the skin and helps hydrate your skin. It has wood apple extract that helps control sebum and minimize the appearance of pores, as well as control too much oil.

A grand reward for selfless love: Loyal PLDT customer wins P5 million in Grand Giveaway promo

Tweet

Years spent on taking care of his parents while keeping ties stronger through phone calls with family were rewarded when 57-year-old Rod from Manila won P5 million from the first-ever PLDT Home Rewards Grand Giveaway promo.

From L-R Patrick Tang, First Vice President and Head of PLDT Home Customer Management, Winner of PLDT Home Rewards 5M Grand Giveaway and Jason Ignacio, AVP and Head of PLDT Home Loyalty and Planning

A loyal subscriber of PLDT for 38 years, Rod received an SMS sent to customers, encouraging them to register to PLDT Home Rewards, which automatically qualifies them to join the raffle. “I decided to join just because, and I didn’t think I’d actually win,” he said. “So, imagine my surprise when I got that phone call from a PLDT Home representative. I didn’t believe it at all at first!”

The youngest in a brood of six, Rod resigned from his office job in Makati to take care of his ailing parents full time. “I never considered it a sacrifice on my part. I’m glad that I was there for them in their final years.”

Rod said that his phone line was his connection to his siblings, three of whom are already based overseas.

“It’s been years since I last saw them, but we never lost touch and would always update one another through frequent calls,” he said. “My older sister said, maybe this is your prize from heaven. It’s our parents’ way of thanking you for your selflessness.”

Since it’s been ages since he and his siblings last got together, he’s musing if winning the grand cash prize could be a sign for a family reunion, especially with overseas travel restrictions now being eased. “They’ve been teasing me, calling me don or boss! I’d love to see them and my nephews and nieces soon!”

Rewarding customers, changing lives

Customers enjoyed more rewarding experiences through the PLDT Home Rewards Grand Giveaway. Overflowing prizes, including two (2) Crate & Barrel home makeover packages worth ₱500,000 each; ten (10) SM Gift Cards worth ₱150,000 each; ten (10) Shopee Pay credits valued at ₱100,000 each; plus work, study, play and watch-at-home packages were given away in the weekly and monthly draws from April to December 2021.

Like Rod, PLDT Home customers can enjoy great rewards this 2022. Aside from the exciting giveaways, they can also receive Crystals for their PLDT transactions and exchange them for bill credits and vouchers from over 40 partner brands

“We’re glad to have made 2021 exciting for PLDT Home subscribers. For this year, we have something even bigger, so everyone should watch out for more thrilling treats and promos,” said Patrick Tang, First Vice President and Head of PLDT Home Customer Management.

Start collecting your Crystals now! To join, all you have to do is enroll your PLDT account to the PLDT Home Rewards program and, upon successful registration, start earning Crystals through regular PLDT transactions like payments, plan upgrades, and more.
