The 1000 Person Pledge is a bold, collective effort where brands unite for a common cause — hiring 1000 talented individuals from underserved communities and banding together to create meaningful, monetized impact.

This is more than your typical hiring initiative. Every hire equates to more than an additional team member. It’s a chance to create jobs, fuel economic growth, and ignite lasting change for individuals and communities.

By joining the 1000 Person Pledge, your brand contributes a vital piece to the collective cause. Whether you allocate 20, 50, or 100 seats, each step brings us closer to the overall goal of 1,000 jobs. Your participation, alongside other forward-thinking companies, helps to amplify impact in underserved communities and unite to achieve this milestone together.

Increase your impact

Imagine the ripple effect: 50 hires could lead to thousands in community investment.

1000 hires? That could generate $100MM in economic impact. By participating, your brand becomes a champion for social good, unlocking both business and societal value.

Together, we can help create scalable impact through a win-win partnership foundation.

Collaboratively Impact Communities

With the 1000 Person Pledge, you can directly contribute to community improvement, driving social and economic change where it’s needed most. The power to affect change is within your reach. By participating in the Pledge, you can transform communities through targeted job creation that empowers individuals and lifts entire neighborhoods.

When 1000 jobs are created, entire communities are transformed. Imagine the impact — more income spent locally, families thriving, and a safer, more prosperous neighborhood.

Local Economic Impact

75-85% of low-income households spend their income on local goods and services, showing how the majority of income earned through new jobs is reinvested into the community.

Job Multiplier

Every new job created in the service sector leads to 1.3 additional jobs in the community.

Poverty Reduction

There is a 0.5% reduction in poverty in low-income areas for every 1% increase in employment, highlighting the direct link between job creation and poverty reduction in underserved communities.

Intergenerational Impact

When children from low-income families grow up in areas with higher employment rates, they are 3%-5% more likely to have higher incomes as adults — an indication of how job creation generates a lasting impact for future generations.

“When I took over as chairman, our unemployment rate was 13%. It is now down to 4%-5% due to this partnership.”

Diversity isn’t just a box to check — it's a proven driver of business success:

Choose Your Impact Zone and Strategic Partnerships

With partnerships across corporations, communities, and Historically Black Universities and Colleges, we align flexible work models with a diverse talent pipeline of student populations and flexible employees.

Reduce Unemployment

Broaden your talent pool and help reduce unemployment by 25%-50% in under-resourced communities.

Improve Customer Satisfaction and Agent Retention

Diversifying your workforce can bring fresh perspectives, skills, and experiences that often result in better cultural awareness and heightened empathy for the customers you support. As a result, customer satisfaction tends to rise, and retention rates improve.

The net result is a greater impact at scale

Amplify your corporate social responsibility and supplier diversity initiatives by procuring high-quality customer engagement solutions and supporting socially conscious community and workforce development.

Now is the time to change the way you do business. The 1000 Person Pledge allows companies to succeed, individuals to flourish, and communities to thrive.
