Choosing the right staffing company requires a lot of attention to detail. Not only must you consider their proven track record, you also have to ensure that their mission aligns with yours. For instance, if you're concerned with diversity as an organization, you should choose a staffing company that has similar priorities. This is where Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) certification comes in. By working with a WBENC-certified staffing agency, you can keep workplace diversity as your priority in the hiring process.

About WBENC

The WBENC is a third-party certifier of businesses that helps women-owned businesses succeed. The core mission of the WBENC is to raise awareness and “foster diversity in the world of commerce.” By certifying businesses that are more that 51 percent woman or women owned, the council makes it easier for socially conscious consumers and partners to do business with these organizations. This encourages the growth of these companies and helps to close the gender gap in business ownership. By keeping this goal as a priority, the WBENC creates new opportunities for female entrepreneurs and stimulates the economy as a result.

The Benefits

But what about WBENC certified staffing companies? By working with one of these agencies, you ensure that diversity is one of the most important factors in the hiring process. This can be particularly important for male-dominated industries where female voices are often underrepresented. Not only will a certified staffing agency be able to carefully and respectfully evaluate the resumes of underrepresented applicants, they will have more insight on how to connect with these qualified candidates.

Diversity is one of the key elements needed for true innovation, so if your company would like to achieve real growth, inclusion is necessary.  By including these different perspectives in your workforce, your company will be better able to compete on a larger scale and address the needs of a larger variety of the population.
