Our Commitment

At E-Solutions, we believe that our strength lies in the diversity of our people. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.

We celebrate and embrace the unique identities, experiences, and perspectives that each person brings to our community, —including, but not limited to, differences in race, gender, age, national origin, ethnicity, disability, religion, culture, socioeconomic background, sexual orientation, and other individual characteristics.

We also recognize that identity extends beyond demographics. Individual lifestyles, work-life balance, learning styles, interpersonal approaches, talents, life experiences, and creative passions all contribute to who we are and how we work together.

At E-Solutions, inclusion is more than a goal—it’s a foundation for innovation, collaboration, and growth. By embracing diverse perspectives and removing barriers to participation, we strengthen our people, our organization, and the services we provide to our clients.

Diversity, Inclusion & Equity – Process & Initiatives

At E-Solutions, our impactful diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts are driven by attention to detail and the ability to balance bold initiatives with meaningful action. Our vision and workplace culture are shaped by employees who embrace inclusivity and take pride in their individuality. We deeply value the unique perspectives and contributions our team members bring each day.

As a workforce solutions aggregator and a minority-owned business, we believe that our inclusive culture is key to understanding and fulfilling our clients’ needs. This commitment not only strengthens our partnerships but also enriches the professional experiences of our associates and consultants, positively impacting their lives and careers.

Building a Corporate Culture of Inclusion

In early 2019, our Board of Directors made a global commitment to fostering an inclusive environment across E-Solutions. For us, inclusion is not a one-time initiative—it is a core value embedded in how we operate. This commitment began with decisive actions and the establishment of intentional, sustainable processes.

Key Focus Areas for 2025 and 2026:

  • Gender Parity
    We are committed to increasing gender diversity and ensuring equal opportunities for all. This includes pay equity, fair hiring practices, and equitable career development for both women and men.
  • Accessibility
    We continue to enhance support for accessible and flexible work environments—empowering individuals with diverse physical and mental health needs to succeed and thrive.
  • Inclusive Culture
    We are actively cultivating a culture of inclusion through open communication, employee support, ongoing training, meaningful dialogue, and engagement at all levels of the organization.

E-Solutions Diversity & Inclusion Process

Promoting Gender-Neutral Language

We regularly audit all job descriptions to eliminate gender-biased language. Terms like “he/his/him” are replaced with gender-neutral pronouns such as “they.” We use platforms like Textio to help ensure our language is inclusive and welcoming to all applicants.

Leveraging Diverse Candidate Sourcing

Our internal ATS is integrated with a wide range of job boards, enabling us to post openings simultaneously across staffing and recruiting platforms, social media, alumni networks, universities, and professional associations. We prioritize outreach to organizations that support women, people of color, LGBTQ+ communities, veterans, and other underrepresented groups.


Training Recruitment Teams

All hiring managers, recruiters, and team leaders receive regular training on diversity and inclusion. Beyond compliance with EEO guidelines, we continually evaluate and refine our hiring policies to ensure they promote fairness, reduce bias, and support equitable outcomes.

Candidate Mentorship & Training

Through strategic partnerships with training agencies, we provide both online and onsite mentoring programs. We also offer full scholarships for training to high-potential candidates, helping remove barriers to career advancement. Building one-on-one relationships with professionals from underrepresented communities is a cornerstone of our long-term talent strategy.

Diversity Referral Programs

To support a more inclusive workforce, we actively encourage diverse employee referrals. We offer incentive bonuses for referrals from underrepresented groups and extend our referral program to include business partners, vendors, customers, and even social media followers. This broad network approach enhances our ability to reach diverse talent.

 

 

Supplier Diversity

As a proud minority-owned company, E-Solutions is deeply committed to supporting and empowering other diverse organizations. Through our Vendors-in-Partnership (VIP) program, we actively identify, qualify, and develop partnerships with certified diverse suppliers. This initiative not only supports our clients’ supplier diversity goals but also broadens the range of skills and services we are able to offer.

Supplier Diversity Policy

Our supplier diversity policy ensures that certified diverse businesses are given maximum opportunity to participate in our procurement process. We are committed to sourcing products and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and other historically underrepresented groups, including small and disadvantaged businesses.

By partnering with qualified diverse suppliers, E-Solutions strengthens its competitive advantage—delivering cost-effective, innovative solutions to our clients while promoting equity and economic inclusion.

We believe in leading by example and recognize the economic importance of supplier diversity in the communities where our employees, clients, and consultants live and work.

Utilization Goals

E-Solutions maintains an ambitious supplier diversity utilization goal as part of our total direct procurement spend. This target is strategically allocated across several categories, including:

  • Minority-Owned Businesses
  • Women-Owned Businesses
  • Veteran-Owned Businesses
  • Businesses Owned by Individuals with Disabilities
  • Small and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
  • Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Enterprises

Our focus on inclusion extends beyond compliance—it is a strategic imperative that drives innovation, enhances service delivery, and creates shared value for all stakeholders.
