At it’s core, diversity is about acknowledging the value of difference – not just skills and expertise, but also in:

-backgrounds

-ideas & perspectives

-heritage

-cultural experiences

-personality

With McCormack & Associates, you get a nationally recognized diversity recruiter, one who specializes in generating the most diverse pool of potential candidates possible.

Diversifying your workplace can:

-ensure representation in you community and/or service area

-stimulate ideas and new directions

-enrich both the company life and personal lives

As your recruiter, our challenge goes well beyond the simple task of matching prospects with your requirements.  It begins with building a nationwide network of sources in:

-people of color organizations

-disability communities

-colleges and universities with significant minority enrollments

-organizations with records of diversity recruitment and retention

Diversity strategies can vary widely in kind. One corporation will see diversity primarily as a marketing tool. Another will focus more on the social benefits to be derived by its own employees. At West Pharmaceutical Services, where he is Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Public Affairs, George R. Bennyhoff has this to say: “A company with a diverse workforce has many strategic advantages, the most important, perhaps, being a healthy environment for all it’s employees.”

“Demonstrating social awareness and responsibility as a corporate citizen speaks volumes about a company – to its customers, shareholders, employees and the communities where they live. Diversity reflects the company’s progressive nature and open, innovative thinking.”

Diversity was born in an era of equal opportunity and affirmative action enforcement.  Laws were enacted in the 1960′s and 1970′s to apply pressure for “compliance” on government contractors.  But diversity has since outgrown those negative beginnings.  Corporate managers have discovered a strong “business case” for diversity.  Today, leading companies are profiting from positive diversity strategies. Diversity initiatives – in such areas as gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and physical ability – are being developed at forward – looking corporations for the purpose of better serving the needs of specific customer, employee and other constituent groups.
