The St. Louis Business Diversity Initiative will help companies attract and retain a talented, diverse workforce and develop a diverse supplier base.
Research shows diversity in the workplace makes good business sense.
We're not yet where we want to be, but we're working hard to create the kind of diverse company that reflects the make-up of our society and our customer base. Firms and entities that participated in Covenant 2004 endorsed the Covenant's broad goals and agree to support initiatives related to minority economic opportunity and development. From this collaborative effort came the St. Louis Business Diversity Initiative, which has developed over the last year and is now being launched. The St. Louis Business Diversity Initiative is designed to help companies in the St. Louis region attract and retain a talented, diverse workforce and develop a diverse supplier base. The initiative will provide resources to help businesses strengthen workforce and marketplace diversity efforts.
