Everyone holds unique perspectives and aspirations. These differences breed innovation, thoughtful contributions and a broad spectrum of ideas. We know fostering an inclusive environment makes our organization stronger and ensures our great people can contribute and celebrate their differences.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We all see the world through different lenses. When we connect through those perspectives, we are empowered to flourish in all aspects of our careers.

Our ultimate goal is to weave DE&I seamlessly into our overall firm strategy. Our DE&I framework is made up of the following five guiding principles:

Our DE&I core team, led by our Board of Directors and executive management teams, drives our strategy. Other core team members include our DE&I senior director, DE&I Council and third-party partnerships. This powerful ecosystem fuels progress firmwide.

DE&I COUNCIL

Building a Solid Foundation

Affinity groups are created by employees who wish to develop a sense of community with colleagues who share a similar dimension of identity. These groups provide opportunities for connection, trust and support to deepen a sense of belonging. Our affinity groups are the cornerstone of our associate-led program. They offer visibility and affirmation of the community to the rest of the organization by exploring & celebrating diverse identities.

Cultivating Diversity with Our Customers

As a firm specializing in the recruitment, engagement and development of top talent, we work with qualified professionals from every population group. We’ve used our Supplier Diversity Program for more than a decade in this pursuit. This effort is documented through our Equal Employment Opportunity Statement, the diversity of our own core population and our commitment to assist our customers in meeting their diversity goals. Our robust talent acquisition strategy casts a wide net. By expanding our channels and partnering with professional organizations, we reach a greater number of candidates. This leads to a higher-quality, more diverse and better-skilled network. Our partnerships include:

Supplier Diversity

Establishing trustworthy and long-lasting relationships is at the heart of what we do. We recognize the strength of our partners and how they assist us in creating a diverse workforce. This knowledge drives us to continually invest in and expand our supplier diversity program.

Mission

Kforce’s supplier diversity program provides an inclusive approach to procurement. We aim to do our part to generate economic opportunity for traditionally underrepresented or underserved groups that can provide resources, services and products to Kforce. We are committed to building partnerships with suppliers that reflect those we serve and the communities in which we live.

Strategy

We actively seek vendors with diverse ownership that align to our overall firm strategy and reinforce our business. Our search criteria are focused on services capability and partnership. We look for vendors that can provide us with knowledge on a specific expertise, but our goal is also to identify partnerships that go beyond a financial impact.

In the last year, we’ve elevated our program by: • Maintaining our diverse spend of more than 30% • Advancing our outreach methods, including attendance at conferences and events to reach a broader, diverse pool of suppliers • Continuing to leverage a centralized structure and tools, such as a supplier diversity spend dashboard, to advance our strategy • Maintaining our supplier diversity page on our website • Sustaining our corporate partnerships with Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) and the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC). These groups provide national reach and the ability to create connections and establish opportunities with certified minority business enterprises View our latest Sustainability Report or email diversity@kforce.com for more information on our supplier diversity program.

Partnerships

Our partnerships provide a wealth of perspectives, ideas and resources as we strive to positively impact our local communities. These collaborations inspire excellence in our sourcing initiatives, product offerings and services as we move together toward tomorrow®.

Our partnership with the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) is just one way we’ve pledged to advocate for and support minority business enterprises (MBEs), drive socioeconomic equity and foster generational wealth within diverse communities.

Kforce is a member of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the nation’s largest third-party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women. We are committed to supplier diversity and the value of full inclusion in the supply chain.

To better serve our Kforce family, we continually develop our diversity, equity and inclusion strategies to ensure our employees—regardless of race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, protected veteran status, or disability status—feel empowered, supported and equipped with the resources necessary to embrace their experiences and develop their careers. We ensure hiring decisions are made based on qualifications, merit and business needs.
