TeleTech Community Foundation Honored as Stevie Women in Business Award Finalist

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The TeleTech Community Foundation, an employee-driven community investment program at TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEC), announced today that the company is a finalist in the 7th annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business. The TeleTech Community Foundation is one of only seven finalists in the Community Involvement category. This year's finalists represent the top 30 percent of more than 1,200 entries – a record for the competition – which were submitted for consideration in 54 categories.

“The TeleTech Community Foundation is a program that gives our employees a way to positively impact their surrounding communities”

Founded in 2007, the TeleTech Community Foundation supports employees’ passion for making a sustainable and positive impact on the communities in which TeleTech employees work and live. Through the foundation, TeleTech encourages employees to become involved in their local and global communities through partnerships with local youth, health and social charities.

“The TeleTech Community Foundation is a program that gives our employees a way to positively impact their surrounding communities,” said Emily Eikelberner, executive director of the TeleTech Community Foundation. “The Foundation has supported hundreds of thousands of community members in need and helped victims of disaster rebuild their lives.”

An example of the Community Foundation’s most significant work in 2010 is TeleTech’s dedication of time, resources and tools to support a global telethon that raised money for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. More than 5,000 TeleTech employees, clients, and family members volunteered approximately 8,000 hours of their own time to take donations from telethon viewers. Utilizing its technology infrastructure and TeleTech volunteers, TeleTech handled more than 80,000 calls across 42 locations on 6 continents. The telethon raised more than $58 million, the most money in telethon history, to help rebuild the lives of the earthquake victims. TeleTech’s ability to deliver this solution in less than one week is a testament to employees’ versatility, agility, dedication and compassion for those in need.

Stevie winners will be announced at this year's awards dinner, which will take place on Friday, November 12 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York.
