Jul 14, 2022 | 2 min read

Denver, CO - July 14, 2022 - Startek® (NYSE: SRT), a global customer experience (CX) solutions provider, today announced that it has been awarded in the ‘Best CEOs for Diversity’ category by the 2022 Comparably Awards. Startek Global CEO, Bharat Rao has been recognized for the company’s ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion practices.

“At Startek, our goal is to create an exceptional experience for our 43,000 associates by nurturing an equitable and inclusive workplace culture,” said Bharat Rao, Global CEO at Startek. “Since stepping into the role of Global CEO in February 2022, I have been privileged to work with our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Committee, founded to foster an environment where diverse teams thrive. It is humbling to see the positive response of our people to our DE&I initiatives and to be recognized alongside like-minded leaders who are committed to promoting diversity within their organizations.”

As part of its commitment to building a more accepting culture that empowers associates, Startek created the DE&I Committee. The committee includes workstreams designed to champion the needs of minority groups and ensures Startek policies and people practices push boundaries to create a workplace environment where all associates have a sense of belonging, feel valued and have opportunities to learn and grow.

“Listening to and promoting the voices of all diverse employees is critical,” said Comparably CEO, Jason Nazar. “Bharat Rao's top ratings from Startek employees across multiple diversity metrics is a testament to his commitment to providing an inclusive workplace culture."

Comparably's Best CEOs for Diversity 2022 list is based on anonymous employee feedback and determined from ratings solely provided by employees of color (non-Caucasian) who rated their CEOs as well as other workplace culture factors. The winners were compiled from over 15 million ratings submitted for 70,000 companies.
