At Corptec Technology Partners, we are deeply committed to embedding Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) across all facets of our organisation. It is essential for us to align our DEI strategies with global and regional gender equality initiatives. Drawing on the latest insights from the Salesforce Partner Ecosystem Report, we will demonstrate how we plan to promote equality, inclusion and diversity not only in our employment practices but also in our ongoing company culture, setting measurable goals for both the short and long term.
Creating a Diverse and Inclusive Workforce
Corptec’s vision for workforce diversity aligns with Salesforce’s Talent Alliance program, which aims to upskill individuals from underrepresented groups. By leveraging such programs, we will ensure that Corptec’s workforce becomes increasingly diverse, with a particular emphasis on bringing in individuals from communities traditionally underrepresented in technology. Salesforce’s commitment to 55% female participation and 44% representation from underrepresented minority groups within their programs serves as a benchmark for us.
In the short term, Corptec will target diverse hiring practices with the goal of achieving 50% diversified workforce representation by 2026. Furthermore, we will allocate 15% of our procurement budget to businesses owned by individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds. This will enable us to create more opportunities for diverse individuals in leadership positions, allowing them to contribute meaningfully to our ongoing success.
Commitment to Equality and Inclusion
As part of our strategy to build an inclusive environment, Corptec will ensure that everyone, regardless of background, feels valued and heard. We are investing in training and mentorship programs to support the professional growth of our employees from all backgrounds, with a focus on fostering diversity and inclusion within our workforce.
71% of job seekers in Salesforce’s Fundamentals program came from underrepresented minority groups, aligning with Corptec’s commitment to equitable recruitment practices. By collaborating with workforce development organisations, we aim to close the gap in tech employment by offering upskilling opportunities to marginalised communities, ensuring equal access to career progression. Corptec is dedicated to bridging this gap through our in-house workforce development programs within the technical hiring segment. Our targeted training initiatives will equip underrepresented groups with the necessary technical skills to succeed, while also providing businesses with a diverse and highly skilled talent pool.

We also emphasise the importance of mentorship, pairing new employees with experienced mentors for guidance and support throughout their journey at Corptec.
In line with our DEI goals, these initiatives are aimed at empowering underrepresented groups to thrive and succeed in the tech industry, contributing to a culture that values innovation, creativity and inclusivity. We strive to provide equal opportunities for all employees, helping to close the gap in tech employment and create pathways for career progression.
