Strengthens Commitment to Military Veterans and Families
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 31, 2013--
TeleTech
Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEC) has made a pledge to hire 1,000
veterans in 2013. As an industry leader in innovation, TeleTech
understands that hiring veterans and military spouses isn’t just the right
thing to do – it’s the smart thing to do.
Working in conjunction with the National
Chamber Foundation and the Hiring
500,000 Heroes initiative, TeleTech has reaffirmed our
commitment to hiring and supporting the career growth of military
veterans, active duty National Guard and Reserves, and military spouses.
TeleTech has always demonstrated a steadfast commitment to hiring
military veterans, and as a result has formed several strategic
partnerships; including the Employer
Support of the Guard and Reserve, the
Employer Partnership of the Armed Forces, Partnership
for Youth Success, Military
Spouse Employment Partnership, and Veterans2Work.
Although TeleTech has a long history of hiring veterans and those
associated with the military, this year the company set an ambitious
goal to push their commitment, as well as set an example for their
industry.
TeleTech’s military veterans also value the company’s approach and
recognize their efforts, “Finding an organization that understands and
values what military veterans bring to civilian, corporate level
positions can be a challenge,” said James McNeil, new corporate hire at
TeleTech’s headquarters in Englewood, Colorado. “I was relieved to see
that they understood and were interested in the experience I obtained
while in the Navy.”
As part of this hiring initiative, TeleTech has created a website
dedicated to matching veterans with open positions. To help veterans
find the position that best fits their skill set, TeleTech has
incorporated a skills translator tool that allows job seekers to enter
information including rank, unit and other military details as a way to
match their skills to TeleTech opportunities. For more information on

“Hiring veterans is good business,” said Mike Jossi, TeleTech’s
executive vice president of human capital delivery. “We truly appreciate
veterans’ experiences and have found that their transition into civilian
positions is smooth and successful. TeleTech actively supports veterans
and believes that more businesses should prioritize the hiring of
veterans.”
Earlier this year, TeleTech reaffirmed its commitment to U.S. military
veterans by signing an Employment Support of the Guard and Reserve
(ESGR) pledge recognizing the value, leadership and skills of veterans
at its state-of-the-art customer service delivery center in Greeley,
Colorado, as well as around the nation.
