PROVIDENCE, R.I., Jan. 26, 2007 – The Multicultural Foodservice and Hospitality Alliance (MFHA) announced today an official partnership with Corvirtus, a top corporate culture, Human Resources, and leadership consulting and research firm based in Colorado Springs, Colo., to work jointly on realizing their goal of improving diversity and inclusion in all areas of the restaurant industry. During the last decade, the industry has made efforts to improve the representation of women and minorities among employees, customers and suppliers, but there are still notably low numbers of minorities in management or executive positions and even among front-of-house hourly ranks. The need to increase diversity in the industry will become even more crucial as the predicted workforce shortage makes it necessary to maximize the pool of qualified candidates.
