TP is the only company in the customer experience management industry to rank within the top 25 Best Companies to Work For™ in Europe.

Companies on the 100 Best Companies to Work For^TM list dramatically outperform the typical workplace in Europe by creating consistently great work experiences, according to Great Place to Work®.

As the global leader in our industry, our goal is to continually be a great place to work in Europe and everywhere we operate.”

TP’s ranking on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For^™ in Europe 2024 list is based on an analysis of confidential survey responses from TP employees across Europe¹ compared to confidential employee survey responses from employees in the region. TP employees overwhelmingly reported being treated fairly, regardless of their social and socio-economic status, gender, race or sexual orientation, and that TP provided a safe place to work. Companies on the 100 Best Companies to Work For^TM list dramatically outperform the typical workplace in Europe, as measured by a market study of European workers conducted by Great Place To Work®.

Congratulations to all the companies that have achieved this great recognition.”
