Atento, one of the five largest providers worldwide and the leading company in customer relationship services and business process outsourcing (CRM / BPO) in Latin America, has announced it has joined the Tent Partnership for Refugees (Tent), a global business network of 190+ major companies around the world committed to supporting refugees, including by hiring and training them.
As the United States prepares to ramp up its refugee admissions over the course of the next year – including welcoming tens of thousands of refugees fleeing Afghanistan – there is a need and an opportunity for businesses to help refugees integrate as they start their new lives in America. As part of this effort, Atento has joined the Tent Coalition for Afghan Refugees, committing to explore hiring and training opportunities for Afghans in the U.S.

Cathy Jooste, Atento’s Chief Coomercial Officer said, “As part of our social commitment to create a sustainable and inclusive global economy capable of providing lasting benefits to all persons, we are pleased to announce this collaboration with Tent. The initiative links closely with Atento’s sustained effort to foster diversity and social inclusion in the communities where we operate and we really hope to be able to make a difference to some of the Afghan refugees as they arrive in the United States.”
Scarlet Cronin, Acting Executive Director at Tent, said: “Atento is stepping up for refugees at such a critical time, and we are thrilled to welcome them to the Tent Partnership. By hiring refugees, Atento will not only build a more diverse and inclusive workforce, it will also gain incredibly hard-working and loyal employees. We’re so proud of the company’s leadership on this effort.”
