Startek Australia

Startek Australia has been selected as an ABA100® Winner for Business Excellence in The Australian Business Awards 2025. The Australian Business Award for Business Excellence [BXA] recognises organisations that have successfully implemented initiatives that demonstrate excellence in business management.

Startek Australia is a global leader in technology-enabled business process outsourcing, delivering customer experience solutions across various industries, including utilities, healthcare, retail, automotive, and government. With over 38,000 experts worldwide and more than 300 employees locally, Startek has built a reputation as a trusted partner that helps clients navigate change, manage complexity, and deliver outstanding service outcomes.

The initiative, Driving Client Success Through Continuous Improvement and Digital Transformation, was created to help clients remain competitive in fast-changing markets. By embedding continuous improvement into its operating model and harnessing digital tools, automation, and analytics, Startek aimed to reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction, ensure compliance, and deliver long-term value.

Startek’s approach combined rigorous research and diagnostic analysis with close collaboration. Working alongside clients, Startek identified inefficiencies, opportunities for automation, and gaps in data visibility. These insights shaped tailored solutions, from self-service portals and cloud contact centres to rapid mobilisation of specialised teams for urgent compliance and customer support projects. Strong governance, real-time monitoring, and agile delivery ensured initiatives were implemented effectively, adapted quickly, and scaled sustainably.

Execution showcased Startek’s ability to act with speed and precision. A major gas and electricity distributor client achieved a 35% call deflection rate, a 20% reduction in handling time, and a 15-point NPS uplift. A leading Health Insurance client transitioned seamlessly from an incumbent provider under a strict deadline with zero disruption. A state Ambulance Membership Service client modernised operations with a unified cloud contact centre integrated with Microsoft Dynamics, creating scalability and efficiency for the future.

The initiative has also delivered broader benefits. Economically, clients have realised cost savings, improved productivity, and revenue growth, including a $2 million reduction in write-offs for the energy distributor. Socially, Startek strengthened customer trust by empathetically handling compliance and breach incidents. Environmentally, digital channels and paperless solutions reduced waste and supported sustainability goals.

This initiative demonstrates Startek’s role as more than a service provider. By embedding innovation, efficiency, and resilience into every engagement, Startek has created sustainable value, enhanced customer experiences, and reinforced its position as a trusted strategic partner driving continuous improvement and digital transformation.
