Equity, diversity, and inclusion

We're here to help job seekers build meaningful careers in workplaces that value them and treat them fairly. We're also here to help employers elevate their workplaces to not only comply with standards around equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), but also become models for the modern workplace.

We know there is always more work to do when it comes to EDI, and we're investing time and resources to ensure that EDI best practices are woven into our policies and mindsets.

We've established an EDI council that includes our candidates, clients, local office employees, owners, and corporate team members. The council reflects the diversity we wish to achieve at Spherion.
We regularly meet with local community partners on tough issues to further understand all perspectives and what role Spherion can play in resolving issues or moving discussions forward.
We treat all candidates fairly and frequently check employee and client survey feedback as well as online review sentiment to see where there’s room for improvement.

DEI Principles in Action

Jordan Tolbert, a 12th grade dual enrollment student at Central Georgia Technical College (CGTC), interns at Spherion Staffing in Byron, Georgia and is a young professional consultant in the virtual action roundtable initiative sponsored by the America’s Promise Alliance’s YES (Young, Employed, Successful) Project. As part of this project, Jordan worked to co-create strategies to advance diversity, inclusion, and equity efforts at Spherion.

Jordan says, “The biggest issue [with recruiting young talent] is just getting the word out about potential young adult opportunities. New advertising methods such as Instagram and TikTok ads could greatly increase the number of young people in the workplace.” Aside from his work with the YES Project, Jordan serves his community as a member of Project Lead, a service group at his school, and as a volunteer at Campus Clubs, a community center for families with low income. We're proud to have Jordan as part of the Spherion family!

For our employers

Investing in EDI makes a difference.

Diverse workforces where people feel included and equal make for better teams, and we help our clients harness that power. Our hiring practices comply with all EEOC guidelines, and we consult our clients' EDI policies for more specific guidance on team-building goals. We’re also happy to share our own efforts in EDI advancement for our clients to leverage—because an active dialog about equity, diversity, and inclusion benefits us all.
