Centrical and TP: Jumpstarting a Performance Improvement Trend

Teleperformance - 02.23.2022

As another year starts, the work-at-home (WAH) model continues to reflect dynamic changes that impact the way employees work and perform. With workplaces shifting from traditional offices to purely home setups during the early stages of the pandemic, and then easing into the current hybrid state – organizations are slowly evolving and planning ahead to adapt to employee needs, while ensuring their businesses are on track as they navigate the post-COVID-19 landscape.

The hybrid setup has a lot of clear benefits – cost savings, business resiliency, and more digital transformation opportunities for organizations, resulting in work-life balance, less stress, and increased employee productivity. That’s why McKinsey reported that nine out of 10 organizations will combine remote and on-site work for its employees in the near future. To further strengthen the case for a hybrid model, Gartner research indicated that 94% of organizations are granting employees more flexibility in where work.

Embracing hybrid means focusing on what matters


Now that hybrid work is becoming mainstream, it’s important for organizations to focus on the factors that could drive further success in a hybrid setup. According to a CNBC survey that gathered responses from top-level executives in major U.S. companies, employee health and wellness and employee productivity are their two major priorities, with 84% and 72% of respondents, respectively, stating that these two are “very important” in their post-pandemic work model.


It’s not a secret that keeping employees happy, motivated, and inspired leads to higher productivity – especially in today’s ever-evolving work environment. Add A.I.-powered tools to aid their workflow wherever, whenever – then there’s no way but up for their performance, resulting in higher success for the business. This is where Teleperformance’s partnership with Centrical, a holistic employee engagement and real-time performance management platform, shines the brightest.
