Teleperformance USA will cut half its employees at its Akron, Ohio call center, laying off 250 people.The firings will start at the end of August, and target managers. Teleperformance says a client, an unnamed major cable company, decided to reduce operations.
When the firm came to Akron in 2006, it said it would create over 600 full- and part-time jobs locally.
Utah’s Teleperformance USA is a subsidiary of France’s Teleperformance, a global contact center outsourcing firm with more than 100,000 full-time equivalent employees. Established in 1978, Teleperformance has 248 contact centers in 46 countries, servicing over 75 markets.
