Roundup: A diversity provider focus

From financial gains to varied thought processes leading to better and more creative solutions, the benefits of having a diverse workforce are many. And companies are realizing their contingent workforce programs should be involved.

In fact, Staffing Industry Analysts surveyed companies with more than 1,000 employees that also have contingent workforce programs in place; 65% said they have a diversity supplier program in place. Meanwhile, another 22% were seriously considering putting one in place in the next two years.

SIA Senior Editor Craig Johnson spoke with executives from several firms on the list to get a sense of the challenges and opportunities associated with being a diversity supplier presents. Read what they have to say in Staffing Industry Review [2].
