IRVINE, CA, March 30, 2010: Recruiting firm Decision Toolbox has been certified as a Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), enabling the company to source contracts with national and regional corporations, non-profit organizations and government agencies that value supplier diversity. Decision Toolbox passed a rigorous selection process and qualified for certification as a privately held company that is at least 51 percent owned, operated, and controlled by a group of women.
“The WBENC is the gold standard and we’re thrilled to be certified,” said CEO Kim Shepherd. “Decision Toolbox is now part of an elite group of companies that is expected to add over 5 million U.S. jobs within the next decade, and that’s an exciting place to be.”
A recent report from the Guardian Life Small Business Research Institute states that while women small business owners represent just 16% of total U.S. employment, they will be responsible for creating one-third of the 15.3 million new jobs anticipated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics by 2018.
WBENC certification is nationally recognized because of the organization’s commitment and expertise. The WBENC is dedicated to applying the highest possible certification standards in the industry, and it is the benchmark for all other supplier diversity programs because it is known and accepted throughout corporate America.
