Teleperformance

Teleperformance, the world's largest customer experience management (CXM) company with approximately €8.2 billion in revenue (2022) and over 410,000 employees across 88 countries, faced a fundamental quality challenge: delivering consistent service quality across hundreds of contact centers in diverse geographies with different languages, cultures, and regulatory environments. Client brands demanded uniform quality metrics regardless of which delivery center handled their customers. Inconsistencies in agent performance, call resolution rates, and compliance adherence created risk for both client relationships and regulatory standing.

Teleperformance developed its proprietary Total Quality Management (TQM) framework — TP Quality — built on a foundation of Six Sigma and ISO 9001:2015 principles customized for high-volume contact center operations. The program introduced standardized quality scorecards across all delivery centers globally, with real-time dashboards measuring 12 core quality KPIs including first-call resolution, average handle time variance, customer satisfaction (CSAT), and compliance adherence. The company deployed speech and text analytics tools to automatically evaluate 100% of customer interactions (vs. the industry standard of 2-5% manual sampling). Quality coaches were embedded in every team of 15-20 agents. TP also implemented a "Best Shore" model where quality benchmarks were identical regardless of delivery location.

Teleperformance achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification across 90%+ of its global delivery centers. First-call resolution rates improved from 72% to 81% across the portfolio. CSAT scores increased by an average of 8 percentage points. Quality-related client escalations decreased by 35%. The standardized quality framework became a competitive differentiator, contributing to Teleperformance's position as #1 in the Everest Group PEAK Matrix for CXM services for five consecutive years. Revenue per agent increased 12% as higher quality scores enabled premium pricing on contract renewals.
