Guidant recognizes the importance of having a diverse supplier base that reflects our customers around the world. Working with our vast network of diverse suppliers has allowed us to tap into new ideas that add value to our MSP clients and provide innovative solutions to all industries.
Our commitment to diversity led us to launch “Diversity Delivers”. We identify competitive, certified, quality-focused diverse businesses to support opportunities at our MSP engagements, in addition to ongoing outreach activities. Actively partnering and participating in, a large number of local and regional minority supplier development councils that champion the growth and expansion of diverse suppliers. We ensure that our suppliers are provided opportunities to participate in our programs. Currently, we are working with more than 600 certified diverse supplier partners. As a result, diverse suppliers currently provide ~ 25% of spend across all Guidant programs.
By actively working with our clients, suppliers and industry partners, we’re opening doors for people historically overlooked by the recruitment sector. We’re experts in delivering diversity and inclusion initiatives across many disadvantaged groups and have actively taken the lead within the recruitment industry when it comes to disability inclusion.
Guidant Global is fully committed to the communities we serve, recognizing the importance of corporate stewardship. We actively promote volunteerism as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility policy, and are proud to support the invaluable work of our charitable partners.
CMN is one of the most well-known and successful charities. The organization has raised over $4.7 billion dollars since 1983. These donations go to supporting research and training, purchasing equipment and paying for care to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible. 62 children enter a Children's Miracle Network Hospital every minute - one child a second.
The Susan G. Komen foundation is the largest breast cancer organization in the United States. The goal of the non-profit organization is to promote research, education, advocacy, health services and social support programs throughout more than 50 countries - until the day when breast cancer has been eradicated from the earth.
This organization is in place to remember, honor and teach about the service and sacrifices of our veterans, military and their families. The goal is to place a wreath on every veteran's grave. Wreaths Across America also conducts several other programs to honor our Veterans, including the popular "thanks a Million" campaign which distributes cards to Veterans all over the country.
Guidant Global’s philosophy is to ensure everyone is treated equally and we aim to level the playing field in employment by reaching those from diverse and minority groups. Our national network of Job Centre Plus, Work Programme, Work Choice providers and tenants from Housing Associations also gives us a wider reach than most employers.
Our reach helps us to engage with, the unemployed, those returning to work after raising a family, or period of prolonged ill health, young people, those with disabilities and ex -offenders. This process strives to engage a candidate pool which may not follow the typical route into employment for a variety of reasons, and provides a base from which to develop the soft skills they may be lacking as well as industry recognised qualifications.
Spaulding for Children, headquartered in Southeastern Michigan, is the only agency in the United States that specializes in finding and training adoptive families for special needs children, most of whom are minorities. Spaulding has found homes for more than 800 children since the agency was founded in 1968.
