Startek has adopted a digital and high-tech enabled platform for its global workforce - a swift pivot from on-site campuses to a flexible one within the cloud framework. “Startek Cloud” has helped rapidly activate more work-from-home (WFH) delivery models across most of its customer experience programs in 13 geographies.
