Our workforce includes every race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, and identity. We celebrate diversity because it helps make our companies, our employees, and the clients we serve stronger and more successful.
ASA recognizes that efforts to increase diversity have a powerful and positive effect on the workforce. For firms looking to develop a deeper understanding of diversity supplier initiatives and strategies for inclusion, ASA has developed this content exclusively for its staffing professional members.
In 2020, ASA launched the IDEA Interest Group. Visit the interest group community on ASA Central and begin networking with your fellow peers!
The IDEA Interest Group connects ASA members who work in inclusion and diversity initiatives in their workplace and those interested in contributing to conversations that help make sustainable change.
Disability Employment Resources

Through this partnership, ASA and ODEP collaborate to provide reliable information and resources to help staffing firms create inclusive workplaces for people with disabilities.
