Diversity Solutions
At The JPI Group, diversity isn’t an option. It’s who we are.
We work with pioneering companies who are looking for innovative strategies to increase their diversity hiring efforts as well as supplier diversity spending goals.
SERVICE LINES INCLUDE:
- Workforce Development Consulting
- Diversity and Inclusion Consulting
- Diversity Workshops
- Diversity Sourcing
- Supplier Diversity Trainings
Your workforce is telling your clients a story about what you represent. Let’s help you change your narrative.
- If you lack diversity in gender, race, age … then it’s time to embed diversity into your company’s mission and values and take real action.
- If diverse candidates often turn down your job offers … then you must be more intentional by showing you value diversity, especially at high level leadership positions.
- If you get frustrated when your diverse employees are leaving your workforce, … then it’s time to analyze your efforts at inclusion.
The good news? We’re here to help you.
OUR DIVERSITY MISSION
Since our inception, our focus on diversity recruitment and sourcing has been a constant to help increase the workforce diversity of our clients.
Our mission is to help our clients hire 20,000 diverse talent by 2025.
As a black-owned small business enterprise and diversity advocate, we are honored to be the recipients of the 2020 National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), the 2021 Eastern Minority Supplier of the Year (EMSDC), as well as the Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Advocate of the Year awardee for three consecutive years.
