Behind STARTEK
There’s a Brand Warrior Behind Everything We Do.
For more than 25 years we’ve held an organization-wide conviction, that it’s our job to be the front line promoting and protecting your brand. Some of the world’s most prominent industry leaders, from telecommunication giants to technology power houses entrust STARTEK to uphold their reputations and to safe-guard their hard-won customers. It’s why we’re known as Brand Warriors.
We work around the clock, around the world, and with great determination to ensure every customer interaction is one that authentically matters. It’s on this front line, in the moments of direct, person-to-person engagement, where the battle for customer loyalty lives or dies, and why we take our responsibility so seriously.
It’s how we do business — with our own customers and with yours.

Community Matters
Every one of our centers has a program dedicated to improving and supporting the communities they are a part of through direct involvement and volunteerism.

We’ve seen first hand what third party studies reinforce all the time — that engaged employees who have a sense of belonging, also have less absenteeism, lower turnover and are more profitable.
In addition to taking care of the communities our sites are in, STARTEK prides itself in taking care of one another during times of hardship as well. In 2014, STARTEK launched WIN (Warriors In Need), a foundation intended to provide basic necessities and temporary relief to any STARTEK employee as result of disaster or extraordinary life events.

In the past year alone, STARTEK employees have:
