Impact Sourcing

Giving People Jobs Close to Where They Live and Play

Impact sourcing has been the cornerstone of our “people first” vision and yes, location matters. Creating jobs in far flung places and making a meaningful difference in the lives of the people we work with is evident always. We call it our X factor, with a resolute mission to improve the lives and livelihoods of  our employees, often with limited employment opportunities. Giving less fortunate people jobs close to where they live and play is our social commitment, making the world a better place, one person at a time. In turn our people reward us with great work, delivering excellence to our clients, and our client’s customers, and for this we are thankful.

We assist our clients in achieving their impact sourcing objectives including skills development, job creation and gender equality.

    The Foundation of Our Business

    At iSON Xperiences, Impact Sourcing is not a superficial checkmark; it’s elemental to our business and way of work. Our commitment to social change and inclusive growth drives our approach to identifying and targeting marginalised communities for our Impact Sourcing program.

    SUSTAINABLE OFFSHORING

    Developing Communities

    iSON Xperiences’ impact sourcing initiative is dedicated to transforming lives by creating meaningful job opportunities for underserved communities.

    By strategically recruiting and training individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, iSON Xperiences ensures that these communities gain access to stable employment in the BPO sector. This not only empowers individuals through skill development and financial independence but also fosters a sense of purpose and belonging within the workforce.

    In addition to delivering high-quality service to clients, iSON Xperiences’ impact sourcing contributes to broader social and economic development in the regions where they operate. By investing in local talent, iSON Xperiences enhances community resilience and promotes sustainable growth.

    This commitment to both ethical and inclusive business practices demonstrates iSON Xperiences’ belief that business success should go hand-in-hand with social responsibility, making a lasting positive difference in both the lives of their employees and the communities they serve.
