Swoon Staffing was named WBE Canada’s newest “WBE Rising Star” at the 2022 Excellence Awards as part of WBE Canada’s National Conference held in Toronto, November 2022.
Here’s the announcement from WBE:
Swoon is an award-winning staffing agency with an innovative method to recruitment that has earned them a proven track record of placing the best and brightest talent with temporary and direct-hire opportunities at Fortune 1000 Companies nationwide. Swoon has implemented a leadership accountability program that holds its leaders responsible for undertaking diversity and inclusion efforts focused on increasing the representation of people of color and women. Swoon Staffing was named WBE Canada’s newest “WBE Rising Star” at the 2022 Excellence Awards as part of WBE Canada’s National Conference held in Toronto in November 2022.
Swoon is dedicated to investing in communities, supporting diverse businesses, and fostering an environment where everyone can be themselves. They believe in and work with companies genuinely dedicated to diversity and inclusion to build a stronger culture, which in turn attracts top talent, higher retention rates, and greater representation of diverse viewpoints, all of which help companies to reach new audiences, create additional revenue streams, and build brand loyalty with a bigger demographic—directly impacting the bottom line.
Encouraging mentorship and allyship, amplifying women’s voices, and providing resources to help female leaders develop the skills they need to succeed are all excellent ways to further promote D&I efforts across the board. Celebrating the successes of other women-owned businesses is also incredibly powerful.
“What I love about WBE Canada and our certification is just being able to really connect with the community, being able to work with different organizations we may not have always had a seat at the table to communicate with or work with” Malerie Diamante, Regional Director, Canada.
Swoon Staffing believes that supporting women-owned businesses doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does need to be intentional, starting with actively seeking out women-owned businesses as vendors and suppliers. Since certifying in 2022, Swoon’s staff credits working with WBE Canada as instrumental in their success in this area, as the connections they’ve made have led to some of their strongest partnerships.
