Expand our sourcing efforts to reach new audiences
Increase diversity within our talent pipeline
Progress diversity representation in early talent programs
Advance our position as an employer of choice for top, diverse talent
Further develop talent ambassadors
Ensure diversity efforts are embedded in all staffing strategies

3. Diversity Ambassadors
Veteran Recruiting – Diversity Ambassadors
To ensure our diversity strategy remains competitive, we are refreshing our approach to include “Diversity Ambassadors.” Diversity Ambassadors are an extension of the diversity team and responsible for partnering with the local chapters of our external organizations. They will hold individual memberships at local organizations in order to strengthen the relationship.
Diversity Ambassadors
Veteran Initiatives
Shift the ownership, execution, cost and project management of all Veteran recruitment to the Veterans Initiatives Office.
