Outsourcing Impact Award on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (Silver)
DEI Training Program and Broader Efforts to Foster Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
SupportYourApp demonstrates how global outsourcing can build workplaces defined by dignity, opportunity, and belonging through its comprehensive DEI Training Program and ongoing diversity initiatives. The “We Are All Supporters” ethos permeates everything—from recruitment and hiring to daily teamwork and advancement—embedding inclusion as both a cultural value and a strategic advantage.
A unique blend of advanced AI-driven candidate screening, cross-cultural onboarding, regular leadership accountability, and responsive professional development makes SupportYourApp’s approach holistic and scalable. The company actively adapts to different geographies and cultures, tailoring its DEI framework for gender parity, cross-cultural collaboration, and underrepresented groups across 30 countries and eight global hubs.
Over 1,068 people have enrolled, and 867 have completed structured DEI training, scoring an average of 97 on post-training quizzes and receiving a 9.6 learner feedback rating. The company maintains consistently high DEI scores on external review platforms. AI-powered hiring anonymizes candidate profiles, resulting in more representative teams and reducing unconscious bias. Career progression tracking now reveals rising promotion rates for underrepresented talent, while team feedback indicates improved psychological safety, trust, and cross-cultural engagement. Ongoing measurement and feedback drive continuous improvement and scalable success.
SupportYourApp’s DEI journey began as a simple commitment to caring for others, shaping its “We Are All Supporters” initiative before DEI became a standard business practice. With expansion into multiple countries and cultures, the approach evolved into a modular, data-driven framework that combines technology, human judgment, and leadership KPIs to bring inclusion from aspiration to lived reality.
A standout case is a support agent recruited from a rural region who progressed rapidly to leading a diverse team across three nations. Her journey, enabled by AI-driven bias-free hiring and ongoing professional development, inspired others to see new career possibilities. Survey feedback repeatedly highlights authentic learning, actionable tips, and scenario-based materials as key drivers for culture change and real empowerment.
Feedback from employees highlights the program’s transformative power: “This kind of learning is essential not only for our work environment but for our lives as a whole”; “I enjoyed the topic as it is very relevant in the [workplace] today.” One learner noted, “The flexibility to go through the material at my own pace, combined with relatable scenarios and actionable tips. The breakdown of complex ideas like equity vs. equality was especially effective.” These stories are now echoed on Glassdoor, where staff regularly cite the DEI program as central to SupportYourApp’s unique, empowering workplace.

Now in its third year, the OIR Awards recognize outsourcing companies that have made positive impacts in areas such as community building, education, diversity, and health.
Accompanying the OIR Awards is the comprehensive OIR Report that analyzes each outsourcing company’s impact initiatives and highlights how their projects are transforming lives and industries.
This two-pronged campaign comprises an OIR Awards event, which honors outstanding impact initiatives by outsourcing companies, and an OIR Report, encapsulating the compelling case stories behind these initiatives.
By documenting and acknowledging the far-reaching impacts and corporate social responsibility efforts of outsourcing companies, we aim to foster a broader, more nuanced understanding of the outsourcing landscape and its potential to drive positive change.
