The Business Case for Diversity in the Staffing Industry
The Business Case for Diversity in the Staffing Industry
Proving the Diversity Business Case for the Recruitment and Staffing Industry
Is there a compelling business case for diversity – including both internal staff and external candidates - in the staffing industry? Based on a survey of more than 300 agency executives, our analysis indicates that staffing firms that are early adopters of diversity practices outperform their peers in client win rate, talent access, and overall talent quality. However, barriers, particularly the lack of candidate diversity data, prevent the industry from achieving its benefits.
The findings of this global research report, commissioned by Access Recruitment, quantify the value of diversity to employers, the benefits and advantages to staffing firms, barriers impacting its widespread adoption, and potential emerging solutions, and present a path forward for the industry.
