Staffing Industry Diversity and Inclusion Survey Closes Tomorrow

ASA is a founding member of the Women Business Collaborative Staffing Leadership Council, which is working to accelerate diversity, equity, and inclusion in the staffing and recruiting industry. As part of its efforts to address issues of gender parity and equity, WBC is conducting an industry-wide survey to collect data on social identities of women in staffing.

The Benchmarking Gender Equity in the Staffing Industry survey closes tomorrow. The results will be used to help improve the representation of women in leadership roles in staffing.
