In 2023, we championed diversity through various Equity, Diversity Inclusion & Accessibility (EDI&A) initiatives that significantly impacted morale, job satisfaction, and retention rates. Our programs connected clients, vendors, and teams with diverse groups and associations, fostering an environment where diverse perspectives are valued. This strategic engagement enhanced recognition and appreciation for diverse team members' contributions.
Our commitment to EDI&A is evident in our goal to become the world's most equitable and specialized talent company. We focused on enriching the employee experience, implementing progress metrics, and fostering a diverse talent pool to achieve ambitious business objectives globally. Despite challenges in the EDI&A sphere, we remained resolute, introducing initiatives like second-chance programs and expanding our Executive Diversity Council.
Key highlights from 2023 include:
- Hosting events like the PRIDE webinar and Asian American Heritage Month celebrations
- Increasing representation of people of color and individuals with disabilities and transforming the Executive Diversity Council.
- Randstad also expanded its Business Resource Groups (BRGs) globally and implemented conscious inclusion programs to promote inclusive workplace cultures.
Through strategic client partnerships and tailored EDI&A consulting services, we provided market scans, DEI journey diagnostics, talent profile reviews, and DEI webinars to help clients broaden their talent pools and diversify their workforce. These initiatives showcase our persistent focus on advancing equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility in all aspects of the organization. We are grateful for the opportunity and space to showcase our EDIA successes; please find the 2023 EDI&A report here.
