Allied Van Lines understands that
increasing employee diversity generates a need for new and unique relocation solutions;
a need that only a van line committed to diversity can fulfill. Just as our corporate
relocation services are diversified, so is our workforce. At Allied, we understand
how integral diversity is to the overall functioning and prosperity of the workplace
environment - for yours and ours.
Allied is the first van line to embrace the concept of workforce diversity and minority
business development. Both as a global employer and a purchaser of services, Allied
demonstrates an ongoing dedication toward equal opportunities for all. Using our
successful minority business development programs, Allied is helping clients achieve
their own minority business development objectives as well.
Allied is the first van line to become
a corporate member of the National Minority Supplier Development Council. We are
proud to be the first van line to fill this position with the council to better
our own workforce and the community.
- A significant commitment has been made by the Allied agent network to purchase goods
and services from minority-owned businesses/enterprises such as a diverse cross-section
of drivers and front line service providers.
- A Minority Business Development Council has been established to ensure Allied's
minority business development objectives are met.
- Allied participates in the "Welfare to Work" Program - a national effort of the
business community to help move people on public assistance to jobs in the private
sector.
We are perpetually striving towards improving our offerings, from corporate relocation
services to a strong, diversified workforce. Our dedication to our continuous diversity
initiatives is unfaltering, as we will continue to strengthen our position as a
global employer. Allied is committed to the success of our ongoing diversity initiatives,
recognizing their importance as key ingredients in a formula for a better world.
