Staples Soul - It's what moves us.

Diversity

Staples offers a diverse and inclusive work environment where over 88,000 of our associates are given the support they need to learn, grow and reach their potential. Diversity is woven into the fabric of our company culture. To us, diversity isn't just about race and gender. It's about creating an inclusive environment that values the diversity of people, experiences, and thought.

Diversity

Diversity of People

In every market where we have a presence, we believe in reflecting the face of our customers through our associates. Our customers come to us with a wide array of cultures, ethnic backgrounds, genders, ages, lifestyles, beliefs, and philosophies, and so do our associates. This shared diversity deepens and enriches the relationships we have with our customers, whether they are start–up businesses or Fortune 500 companies.

Diversity of Experiences

Staples values the perspectives, backgrounds and range of experiences that our associates bring to the company. Our people represent a variety of life experiences, from those just starting out in their careers to those who have been with the company since it was founded in 1986. We believe that employing associates with a wide range of work and life experiences enables us to think more creatively as an organization and gives us the flexibility needed to adapt to changing market conditions.

Diversity of Thought

We value, recognize, and reward innovative thinking and actively encourage people to think creatively in developing new business solutions. One way we encourage diverse thinking is through our InventionQuest™ for Associates contest. The contest inspires associates to apply unique thoughts and perspectives in creating new product solutions for Staples.

Diversity of Suppliers

Staples seeks to work with minority– and women–owned business enterprises (MWBE) because we believe that our suppliers should also reflect the face of our customers. As part of our commitment to MWBE growth and to extending MWBE products across our customer base, in 2005 we created a new director level position to manage and grow our Diversity Supplier Program. If you are a MWBE supplier interested in participating in our Diversity Supplier Program, please fill out our Diversity Supplier Questionnaire.
