By Link Howard, an EO Detroit member and founder of Powerlink Facilities Management Services

Diversity has been a core value at Powerlink Facilities Management Services since I founded it in 2003. As a staffing company, many of our clients serve specific communities, and we strive to provide them with team members who are locally connected and committed to their missions. Company-wide, this means we have an extremely diverse staff in terms of age, race, religion and education as well as geographic and demographic factors. Without embracing that strategy of providing our clients with the best people for their environments, leading to diversity for our company, we would not have had the necessary tools to grow to where we are today.
