Serving as a resource to so many people in times of unforeseen financial hardship has been a rewarding and humbling experience for Caity. In this episode, she discusses what led her to iQor, how the iQor Qares program works, examples of how it helps employees across the world in their times of need, and how individuals both within and outside of iQor can help. 
The Road to iQor

In her work and in her personal life, giving back to the community has always been a key element for Caity. The iQorian Values and iQor’s commitment to creating rewarding experiences that make employees smile while also supporting them in times of special need have played a significant role in Caity’s time at iQor. Her involvement with the iQor Qares nonprofit has provided a valuable outlet for Caity to connect with employees and help make a positive impact in their lives in addition to the work she does through human resources. She is embedded in the irresistible people and culture of iQor. 
All About iQor Qares 
iQor Qares embodies the iQorian value to give back to employees, their families, and the local communities in which they live and work. In the past, when iQor employees faced extreme hardship, iQor organized fundraisers to help. Determined to make a broader impact in the lives of about 35,000 employees worldwide, iQor decided to initiate a dedicated year-round approach to provide a faster and more unified response to employees in need.  
As a result, the senior leadership team at iQor created iQor Qares, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization with its own board of directors, independent from iQor. iQor Qares provides financial support to employees, their families, and their communities facing unforeseen hardship due to natural disasters, family health issues, and more. Loren Dennis, senior vice president of operations at iQor in charge of special projects, is on the iQor Qares Board and oversees the iQor Qares program. He spoke in-depth about it on Digitally Irresistible Episode 26.

As hard as it is to look through the applications for support and hear the heart-wrenching stories of intense need, Caity is continually moved by the courage and hope she sees. She is grateful to play a role in helping employees through some of the most challenging times in their lives. Through her work, Caity has supported iQor Qares in helping many employees make it through a variety of difficult situations.
