“Our annual Best CEOs for Diversity recognizes the leaders that employees of color have deemed as top-notch. This year’s list is no exception with an incredible group of chief executives, like Alorica’s Andy Lee, that have shown strong leadership through the pandemic and a commitment to DE+I in their organizations.”

“With nearly 70% of our U.S. workforce comprised of minorities, I am incredibly proud of the impact we are making within our Alorica family and also in the communities in which we operate,” said Andy Lee, Chairman and CEO of Alorica. “Inclusiveness has always been a part of Alorica’s DNA. This award is a testament to the remarkable work our employees are leading through our TIDE program, which celebrates, supports and empowers diverse voices around the globe, and in turn, builds a stronger sense of unity. I share this recognition with every employee at Alorica who helps us build a work culture that is accepting, kind and encouraging.”

In 2020, Alorica launched TIDE, a grassroots diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiative as part of its global Corporate Social Responsibility program. Now an integral component of the employee experience, TIDE’s ongoing Real Talk series provides employees at all levels with an interactive forum to increase awareness, share experiences and develop solutions to social issues within their communities. Since its inception, Alorica’s TIDE teams have facilitated over 70 Real Talk sessions around the world.
