True Power: Diversity and Shared Experience
Regardless of our personal views, the world has seemingly become more complex than many of us remember it before.
5 Ways to Meet Your Supplier Diversity Goals
For large businesses above a certain threshold, diversity in suppliers is a regulatory mandate. For the rest of the business world, supplier diversity is just as important— but not always easy to execute.As a minority-owned business ourselves, our team at Encompass is always looking for ways to help lift up diverse suppliers in our own work— and help encourage other businesses to do the same. Marginalized people, minorities, and other groups that have been unfairly minimized in the business world deserve the space to make an impact based on their skills and potential.
The Encompass Journey - Celebrating 20 Years
The Encompass story began when a college-aged Marcell Haywood started a small business with his roommate.

Approximately six years ago Encompass became involved in supporting an organization that was building and operating a rescue center in Kenya to provide a safe refuge for girls fleeing their tribe.
