Ms. Didem Yayın embarked on her professional journey in 2010 at a Turkish Telekom TNT dealership.

A significant part of Yayınnet’s team consists of field staff who visit companies and provide solutions to their technical needs. The office team handles sales operations and completes activation processes in the Turkish Telekom System. Half of Yayınnet’s team, which consists of 33 members, comprises of women who diligently carry out their work.
During the pandemic, Yayınnet managed to retain its workforce by benefitting from KOSGEB support, which proved to be a significant contribution to sustaining their business. Subsequently, they continued to improve their business through the FOSTER Project Employment Committed SME Support Programme.
Within the scope of the project, in addition to retaining the employment of two Turkish citizens, Yayınnet also employed two foreigners under temporary protection. The foreigners under temporary protection, who started their jobs as associate degree graduates, have improved their Turkish over time as they constantly make phone calls as part of their jobs. Emphasising the importance of sustainability, Yayınnet is committed to retaining the employment of these personnel after the end of the project.
Despite the challenges faced during the pandemic, the Yayınnet team successfully continued their operations through proactive approaches and dedicated efforts. Mr. Didem Yayın, who is focused on sustaining and expanding her business, aims to increase employment opportunities for youth and women in the future. Yayınnet will continue to support SMEs in the digital transformation process while maintaining its leadership position in the industry.
