Regulatory News:

Teleperformance (Paris:TEP), a global leader in outsourced digital integrated business services, today announced it will resume offering full-service content moderation services within its trust and safety division, including moderation of highly egregious content.

The move comes after a lengthy review of its business, including discussions with various stakeholders including employees, clients, employees’ representatives and shareholders. Additionally, Teleperformance has conducted detailed internal audits and has had third-party external reviews of its operations by some of Teleperformance’s clients, Korn Ferry and Bureau Veritas, with a special focus on its people management and workplace practices.

Key findings stemming from the discussions and reviews is that Teleperformance is one of the industry’s leading providers of content moderation services; Teleperformance has a strong focus on its staff well-being; and the Company’ content moderators are proud of what they do and feel adequately supported by the company in performing this public service.

In November 2022, Teleperformance had announced it would exit moderation of highly egregious content within its trust and safety division. Since then, the Company has honored its commitment not to accept new business of moderating highly egregious content while honoring its existing contractual obligations.

While highly egregious content is a very small part of Teleperformance’s content moderation work, post the third-party reviews and discussions, Teleperformance is now convinced that it is in the best interest of the billions of people that are online every day that Teleperformance continues to serve the content moderation needs of its clients in full and not exit any part of the business.

Teleperformance will continue to work with its clients, academia, employees’ representatives, and other industry experts to make this activity even safer. These initiatives include increased use of latest AI products to improve automated screening of harmful content and further enhancements in physical and emotional wellness programs for content moderators. Teleperformance will also set up an independent Safety Advisory Board, comprising experts from related fields, for its content moderation business.
