"As a leader in the HCM industry, we know the importance and value of a diverse supplier program. Inclusion, trust and growing together is the way we’ve operated over the last 25 years and is how we want our partnerships to continue to be with our suppliers. Our core foundation is to always focus on people, and this includes our current and future relationships with businesses ranging from minority-owned to disabled-owned."
