Diversity Hiring
With heightened attention on social inequity comes a larger responsibility to the complexity issues surrounding it. Building a diverse, inclusive workforce is critical to attracting top talent and ensuring innovation, employee satisfaction, and retention. At ForceField, we are intentional in our hiring with the goal of building a team that accurately reflects the communities where we work. In addition, we are in the final stages of developing FACT (Forcefield Accelerated Career Track), our diversity hiring initiative. The objective of FACT is to recruit high potential candidates from the minority community that are at the early stages of their professional careers. After a comprehensive 12-month rotational program, learning about all aspects of a career, our FACT team member will work closely with leadership to determine position placement – with an emphasis on long-term career success and advancement.
