Five Reasons to Make Us Part of Your Diverse Supplier Strategy

A supplier diversity program is critical to the growth of your company. Having effective business relationships with other companies creates a supply chain that gives businesses a competitive advantage over others. But diverse suppliers can provide more than just goods and materials to a business. Did you know diverse suppliers can help companies improve company culture, boost employee engagement, and improve employee retention?

As a diverse supplier, Levy is a one-stop-shop for companies seeking to build healthy company cultures that make employees excited to come to work every day. How do we do it? By providing employee recognition programs that motivate and reward employees for the excellent work they do!  

We can help your business navigate the ins and outs of employee recognition while simultaneously boosting the company’s supplier diversity program. Here are five reasons to make Levy one of your diverse suppliers!

We Want to Help You

There is a lot of research that proves that companies that have a healthy, diverse supply chain are more profitable than companies that don’t. Working with vendors and suppliers that are minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and LGBT-owned not only helps these businesses find success but can save your company a lot of money in the long run.

Companies are creating diverse supplier programs that ensure the use of historically underutilized businesses in the procurement of goods and services. These programs are designed to enable companies to build relationships with diverse companies that can provide them with raw materials, labor, or other services directly related to improving their company’s product. But don’t forget that diverse suppliers are part of almost every industry. One area often overlooked is employee engagement and recognition.

If your goal is to secure the inclusion of diverse groups in your company’s procurement plan, Levy can help!

We Can Save You Money

By working with vendors and suppliers primarily from underutilized groups, your company could qualify for the many tax incentives that come from partnering with diverse suppliers.

That’s right! By working with Levy to build an employee recognition program, you could qualify for tax breaks through the federal government.

In our eyes, it’s a win-win. Not only can your company benefit from tax incentives by working with Levy, but there are also various money-saving benefits to creating an employee recognition program.
