GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. & MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Startek (NYSE: SRT), a global provider of customer experience management solutions, has been recognized as an ‘Employer of Choice’ (EOC) in The Australian Business Awards 2020. The Employer of Choice category recognises workplaces for maximising the potential of their workforce through exemplary HR policies and practices.

Now in their fifteenth year, The Australian Business Awards (ABA) are an annual all-encompassing recognition program that recognises organisations that demonstrate the core values of business and product innovation, technological achievement and employee engagement via a set of comprehensive award categories.

“This Employer of Choice recognition emphasises our commitment to creating opportunities for growth and development for our people,” said Rajiv Ahuja, President of Startek. “Our inclusive culture, wide range of differentiated developmental opportunities, and in-depth career growth programmes are key to our success not just as an employer, but as a business overall.
