Alorica’s Commitment to Diversity Earns Silver Stevie® Award for Minority-Owned Business of the Year

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alorica Inc., a global leader in customer experience solutions, has been named a Silver winner in the 2021 Stevie® Awards for Minority-Owned Business of the Year. As the largest minority-owned business process outsourcing (BPO) provider in the world, Alorica is certified as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) by both the National Minority Supplier Development Council and Southern California Minority Supplier Development Council. Recognition by the Stevies affirms Alorica’s alignment with clients’ goals to hire and source from diverse and minority-owned companies.

“This commendation by the Stevies highlights important company milestones as we continue to develop a diverse, inclusive and equitable workforce. I’m proud to share that more than 60% of our employees is made up of women and nearly 70% of our US workforce is comprised of minorities,” said Andy Lee, Chairman and CEO of Alorica. “Our people are everything, and we believe there is unity in diversity. As part of our company culture, we embrace inclusivity and camaraderie and will continue to empower and learn from our employees to make lasting change in the world.”

The 2021 program marks Alorica’s third Stevie Awards win in this category. This year’s recognition honors Alorica’s outstanding achievements as a minority-owned business, including the establishment of TIDE, a grassroots diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) program that is now an integral part of the company’s global employee experience. Through TIDE’s ongoing Real Talk series, employees at all levels have an interactive forum to increase awareness, share experiences and develop creative solutions to social issues in our communities. TIDE was introduced in 2020 under Alorica’s global Corporate Social Responsibility program, which is anchored in Philanthropy, People and Planet.
