For years, IAOP has been committed to the promotion of impact sourcing as a transformative business model as well as in supporting IAOP members who are putting impact sourcing into action.

For those new to impact sourcing, it's an inclusive business practice that happens in the outsourcing industry when organizations intentionally hire and provide career development opportunities to people who otherwise have limited prospects for sustainable employment. The practice has been transforming business for the better and has potential to transform their lives, while also benefiting the companies that employ them and the communities where they live.
