Teleperformance Portugal
Teleperformance Portugal is already planning the gradual return to the office and how the company will do it, according to the directions given by the World Health Organization and the National Health System. Educating people on a new normality may not be an easy task, but it is also up to companies to do so when their employees return.
The messages will start from the entrance to the exit and will follow the daily routine of the employees. There will be explicit information everywhere – meeting rooms, training rooms, bathrooms, cafeterias, as in other spaces – and several protection measures. For example, the mandatory use of mask (provide by Teleperformance), the restrictions of space, the temperature measurement at the entrance of every TP building, among others.
People will have to understand the new normal in these uncertain times. And it is part of the organizations to protect their team and make them aware of it in every sense of their work, so everyone can stay safe.
