In 2019, we pledged to hire 400 people from underserved communities through our work the Global Impact Sourcing Coalition. We have exceeded our goal by almost 100.
In line with our commitment, we’re thrilled to present our latest whitepaper, “CMOs & Chief DE&I Officers: Joined at the Hip for a DE&I Revolution.” This document underscores the synergy between marketing and DE&I, highlighting how chief marketing officers, with their deep understanding of brand narratives and audience insights, are uniquely positioned to collaborate with DE&I leaders. By integrating DE&I as a pivotal marketing strategy, businesses can foster a more genuine, enduring, and influential commitment to inclusivity. We invite you to explore it and gain a deeper understanding of the transformative potential of truly integrated DE&I strategies.

HBR Spotlights Televerde’s Empowered Culture of Inclusivity & Respect
Marquette University’s Kristie Rogers’ research on respect at Televerde uncovered a unique approach. The study involving 92 interviews and hours of observation found Televerde fostering both owed and earned respect. Employees are valued universally and individually acknowledged for their contributions, affirming incarcerated women’s potential for business success. Read more about it in the Harvard Business Review’s July-August 2018 issue: “Do Your Employees Feel Respected?” by Rogers.
The American workforce often overlooks the incarcerated community. Yet, as highlighted by Kravis Professor of Business at Columbia Business School Paul Ingram, Televerde’s unique social inclusion strategy fosters care, trust, and courage to change. This approach empowers participants to realize their futures are intertwined with those around them.
