Teleperformance in Scotland Receives Remploy Special Recognition Award
Teleperformance UK is delighted to announce that it has received a Special Recognition Award at Remploy’s Glasgow Branch Annual Awards on 2 May 2013. This award recognises the outstanding work done by Teleperformance in Scotland to support employees and jobseekers with health conditions or disabilities.
Remploy Employment Services is the UK’s leading providers of specialist employment support for disabled and disadvantaged people. Stephen Leishman, Account Manager for Remploy, presented the award to Fiona Hunter and Lorna Cassidy, HR business partners at Teleperformance in Scotland.
Stephen Leishman, Account Manager, Remploy comments: “There’s a perception that candidates with a disability or health condition will struggle to be successful in contact centre roles. Remploy as a business can sometimes struggle with this sector. But in Scotland the Teleperformance team have proved that this simply isn’t the case and the number of our candidates who find sustainable employment within Teleperformance blows that myth out of the water. Teleperformance have really helped us to break down this barrier and have fully engaged with us to provide as many opportunities for our candidates as they can. Without the support, professionalism and honesty of everyone we work with at Teleperformance our success wouldn’t be possible.”
Laura Rankine, HR Manager (Scotland) comments: “Teleperformance is a people company. We know that our success comes from the people who work in our teams to deliver outstanding customer experiences for our clients and their customers every day. It is important for us to support our local communities and to ensure we provide people from all walks of life with the same exciting opportunities to learn, grow and achieve their goals and aspirations. I am delighted that this has been recognised by Remploy. We commit investment of time and resource to assisting Remploy with training initiatives and work together with them to ensure that our recruitment practices are fully inclusive – our work with Remploy is indeed a true partnership which continues to grow from strength to strength.”
