Fortuity Recognized as a 2023 Columbus Business First’s Diversity in Business Award Honoree

Franklinton, Columbus, OH - April 6, 2023 - Fortuity, a social enterprise contact center based in Franklinton, Columbus, is thrilled to announce its selection as a recipient of 2023 Columbus Business First’s Diversity in Business Award. This accolade underscores Fortuity's steadfast dedication to its mission of empowering employees from underrepresented communities and groups by offering meaningful career advancements and steady wage increases.

Receiving this reaffirms our unwavering commitment to cultivating an inclusive workplace that authentically mirrors the diverse population of Columbus. The Diversity in Business Award recognizes excellence in promoting diversity across various dimensions, including age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, race, and religion. Fortuity's diverse team is a testament to our deliberate efforts in embracing and celebrating the unique tapestry of individuals comprising Columbus, Ohio's vibrant community.

Each team member brings their distinctive perspectives, experiences, and talents, contributing to the diverse and dynamic atmosphere we have created together. We firmly believe that this diversity not only mirrors our local community but also serves as a driving force behind our success. It sparks innovation, fosters collaboration, and empowers us to address challenges with a wealth of creative solutions.

This award also shines a spotlight on our Pathways Workforce Development program. Through Fortuity's Pathways program, Central Ohio workers gain a pathway to meaningful employment with some of Central Ohio's leading companies. Our Employer Partners play a pivotal role in sourcing customer support roles locally- placing these jobs in Columbus' urban core, where they can positively impact residents facing employment barriers. This initiative actively contributes to local economic development and uplifts the communities we serve.

Furthermore, our Partners benefit from a pipeline of proven, qualified, and enthusiastic employees who have already demonstrated their exceptional customer service quality while working with our programs to meet client needs. This exemplifies the idea that doing good business can also create a positive social impact.
