Professional services firms have implemented many work-life-balance and family-friendly practices in the past decade to attract and retain talented women and minorities. The firms receive accolades and awards from Diversity, Inc., Working Mother, the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC's), Corporate Equality Index (CEI) and other organizations recognizing excellence in diversity and inclusion. But how diverse is the team the firm has supporting your organization? When you demand an inclusive workforce on your account team, you send a strong message to your firms about your commitment to diversity and inclusion. Supplier diversity initiatives at these firms are much less mature. Use this session to discuss opportunities the firm may have for diverse suppliers, like travel services, office supplies or temporary staffing.

You leave this session with:

  • Tools for sending the message to your professional services firms.
  • Templates for collecting workforce and supplier diversity data.
  • Sample contract language to incorporate into your contracts and RFP's.
