Building A Diverse Workforce With FHLBC

When Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago shared their ambitious goal for the number of diverse suppliers on their 135,000-sf office in Chicago’s Old Post Office, our team said, “Nothing’s impossible, bring it on.” Surpassing the initial 50% goal, the Executive Construction team used 20 different diverse contractors—81% of the project spend going to women-, veteran-, and minority-owned businesses.

Executive Construction Vice President Jason Watland goes behind the scenes of how it was done on FHLBC’s Smart Moves story. Check it out here!
