Everest Group regularly organizes virtual sessions in which senior executives across enterprises share their experiences and opinions with colleagues in other organizations on hot industry topics or particularly challenging issues of the day.

Impact sourcing allows businesses to find highly engaged and stable talent sources that deliver quality work with low attrition rates while simultaneously meeting their sustainability requirements and goals. As talent shortages continue to make headlines, businesses are aggressively turning to these non-traditional talent pools to find needed skills. But what are the best tools and techniques to drive larger-scale adoption of impact sourcing both internally and externally?

In this virtual roundtable our experts and attendees discussed how to grow impact sourcing in their organizations, including:

• What are the best strategies to drive larger-scale adoption of impact sourcing, and what are the barriers?
• How are providers and GBS organizations advocating for the sourcing model internally?
• How are buyers getting involved in the growth of impact sourcing?
• What is the impact sourcing “Commitment to Action,” and how will joining it benefit your program?

In this virtual roundtable, executives discussed the measurement of impact sourcing as it relates to growth, the top two to three priorities driving large-scale adoption, and key concerns.
