Kelly Services Receives Top Honors for Diversity Efforts
Workforce Solutions Provider Receives Multiple Recognition in 2013
As businesses face new challenges in accessing talent, companies need to become more innovative in how and where they look for talent by tapping into more diverse talent pools. At the foundation of Kelly's global diversity solutions program is the recognition that advancing diverse suppliers and fostering inclusion is not only a best practice, but a strategic business imperative in fulfilling the demand for talent. As a result, Kelly's partnerships with diverse and niche suppliers are more numerous and stronger than ever.
For the fifth consecutive year, Kelly was recently named the 2013 Corporation of the Year in the Professional Services category, and also received the Corporate One Award for the 13th consecutive year. Both awards were presented by the MMSDC.
The Corporation of the Year award recognizes companies who exemplify the spirit of inclusion and promote supplier diversity across their organization while assisting in the development of minority businesses within their supply chain. The Corporate One award honors those corporations that take a leadership role in supplier diversity by achieving five percent or more direct spend with minority businesses. Less than eight percent of corporations have received this 2013 recognition.
