LiveOps Named
'Company of the Year' by Entrepreneurs Foundation
LiveOps, the virtual
call center company, has been named "Company of the
Year" for 2008 by the Entrepreneurs Foundation, the
San Francisco Bay Area organization, for its
commitment to making its Community Service programs
integral to the company's brand and culture. LiveOps
is specifically being recognized for its integrated
corporate philanthropy model, its donation programs,
its social responsibility and its volunteer efforts.
The Entrepreneurs Foundation awards the Company of the
Year recognition to the organization that, through its
activities and partnerships during the previous
calendar year, clearly demonstrates its commitment to
philanthropic and community involvement programs as
part of their core business values.
"LiveOps, while still a young and emerging company, is
building a community program on par with many mature
companies," said Diane Solinger, executive director of
Entrepreneurs Foundation. "The dedication from
corporate leadership through the employees to
integrate their community program into all aspects of
the corporate brand and culture is demonstrative of
their commitment to building a world-class company
with world-class values. Entrepreneurs Foundation is
honored to be partnered with LiveOps and commends the
company for their outstanding community commitment,"
Solinger commented.
"We developed the LiveOps Foundation with the goal of
supporting community service activities that enhance
and serve the cities in which LiveOps employees live
and work, as well as the associated issues that impact
quality of life," said Maynard Webb, Chairman and CEO
of LiveOps. "We are honored and excited to be
recognized by the Entrepreneurs Foundation for our
philanthropy and community service efforts and will
continue this important effort in 2009 and beyond."
The company built its LiveOps Foundation on three
cornerstones of giving. LiveOps will set aside
approximately 1 percent of current outstanding shares
to be used to fund the Foundation after a liquidity
event. In addition, LiveOps offers gifts of cash
supporting grants for organizations that their
employees support, grants for philanthropic business
partners and a matching gift policy of up to $500 per
employee per year. Lastly, LiveOps offers the gift of
time by enabling its employees to volunteer on average
1 percent of their time to an organization of their
choice, or participate in a company-sponsored event.
