“We are proud to have been recertified as a Women-Owned Enterprise, a distinction that reflects our commitment to building and creating a workplace culture that encourages all to unlock their full potential,” said Kim Phillips, President/CEO of BenefitScape. “This certification also helps us to attract and retain diverse, well-qualified talent, partners, and clients who share our passion for serving as a socially responsible business.”
While there has been an effort by companies to increase supplier diversity since the late 1960s, it’s never been more imperative than today. It contributes to a company’s ability to create a more inclusive culture and workforce, and increase a company’s environmental, social, and corporate governance reputation.
According to a recent article in the Harvard Business Review, there is also commercial value in an inclusive procurement strategy, widening the pool of potential suppliers and promoting competition, which in turn drives product quality and decreases costs. It also helps to make supply chains more resilient and agile, giving businesses a competitive advantage in challenging times.
