What Is Supplier Diversity?
Supplier diversity is a business strategy where companies aim for a diverse supplier base in the procurement of goods or services for private, government, and non-profit industries. The term ‘diversity’ refers to suppliers owned by historically underserved groups such as people of color, women, veterans, LGBTQ+, and more.
In other words, many companies have procurement dollars set aside for diverse suppliers. Women-owned staffing companies with business diversity certification might win more business compared to a staffing company without a certification.
What are the Benefits of Supplier Diversity?
There are many benefits to DEI Certification for staffing firms such as:

Why Is Supplier Diversity Important?
Supplier diversity benefits both the companies that implement it and the suppliers who qualify. For companies, it aligns with social responsibility mandates and goals, and it also helps diverse suppliers overcome barriers that challenge traditionally underserved groups and communities. Diversity certification also opens the door for federal government contracts, which often have a mandate to increase the number of diverse suppliers within an organization’s supply chain.
Should All Eligible Staffing Firms Become DEI Certified?
Yes. There is no reason not to get certified if you are eligible. In a competitive field, every differentiator helps.
Why Do Companies Care?
Many companies have procurement dollars set aside for diverse suppliers. Diversity certified staffing partners help companies meet their quotas.
Does Supplier Diversity Only Matter If You Work With The Government?
While supplier diversity certainly makes a big difference for government contracts, they aren’t the only reason to get certified. Many companies in different industries also have minority supplier diversity programs, goals, and mandates.
