As host to
IBPAP’s On-site HIV Training and Screening session, Teleperformance or TP in
the Philippines welcomes over 60 medical practitioners and advocates to its
Innovation and Solutions Hub at its TP Aura site, Taguig City.
Teleperformance (TP) in the Philippines, a
global leader in digital business services, reinforces its commitment to
drive awareness and prevention of HIV in the Philippines. This comes in the
wake of national efforts to curb the rising cases of HIV infection in the
country.
TP
hosted an HIV Training and Screening session for medical professionals and
advocates on February 26 at the Innovation & Solutions Hub of its TP Aura
site.
In
collaboration with the IT & Business Process Association of the Philippines
(IBPAP) Labor Standards & Health
Committee, the initiative provided free expert training to support
enterprise-level HIV prevention and control.
“Since 2019, we have been working to educate IBPAP
members on the value of having workplace HIV programs. These include awareness
talks and summits. We have champions among our IBPAP members—TP is one of
them,” said Tess Azicate, IBPAP Labor
Standards and Health Lead.
TP is
a Platinum member of IBPAP, which is the enabling association for the
information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) industry in the
Philippines.
The
session, which was both empowering and insightful, brought together over 60
participants. In addition to doctors and nurses, the activity also included TP
leaders and advocates from various teams and departments, equipping them with
knowledge and skills to administer HIV screenings.
The
training complements TP’s HIV Awareness and Advocacy Development program and
emphasizes the critical role of early detection and awareness in combatting the
spread of HIV.
In his continued advocacy & staunch commitment to break the stigma, Jeffrey Johnson, Chief People Officer of TP in the Philippines, volunteers to be tested as a statement of support & encourage the proactive prevention & treatment of HIV in the workplace.
Addressing
representatives from fellow IBPAP member companies, Jeffrey Johnson, Chief
People Officer of TP in the Philippines, shared, “At TP, we truly believe that creating an environment where everyone
is welcome is the foundation of everything we do—both to the success of our
organization and our industry. I’m so grateful for the other IBPAP member
companies for their participation and support in this critical training and
development. This speaks volumes on how we're all working together with a
shared purpose and commitment.”
Launched
in 2015, TP’s HIV Awareness and Advocacy Development program is regarded as a
pioneer in the private sector and recognized by the Department of Health (DOH)
and Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM). TP continues to
collaborate with advocate organizations like IBPAP, and partners in the private
sector and government to promote safe spaces, truth-telling, and equip more
people to prevent infections and help People Living with HIV (PLHIV).
Beyond
the local impact, TP continues to engage in international learning exchanges to
advance HIV advocacy. In 2023, the company hosted a dialogue with Papua New
Guinea’s Key Population Advocacy Consortium (KPAC) and other organizations
under its umbrella at its Vertis North site. This exchange, held in partnership
with DOH, facilitated discussions on community-led HIV services and TP’s
efforts in establishing an inclusive and supportive workplace.
For its efforts and outstanding contributions, the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP) recognized TP’s HIV Awareness and Advocacy Development program with the Gold Anvil Award in 2020.
