50 best companies for diversity
Running the gamut of education, health care, and, yes, even tech, these best-in-class companies understand the benefits of having a diverse workforce—and they’re hiring now.
Over the last couple years, companies around the U.S. have ramped up efforts to increase diversity among their ranks. While there have been well-documented diversity issues in certain industries, namely tech, the tide is slowly starting to turn.
Still, the diversity issue has a long way to go. In the U.S., African-Americans, Latinos, and Asians only make up 13% of senior management positions, and far fewer are represented on the boards of directors at Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies, according to top diversity publication Diversity, Inc. Some companies, though, do a solid job when it comes to diversity hiring practices.
Recently, Forbes, in partnership with research firm Statista, released its first-ever America's Best Employers For Diversity list, which represents companies where diversity is reflected from the top down. To compile the list, Statista surveyed 30,000 U.S. employees, asking questions about gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, and disability, with responses from underrepresented groups holding greater weight in the ranking.
Great news: The top 50 companies on Forbes’s list are hiring on Monster. These top employers run the gamut from universities to media corporations, banking and financial services to health care organizations, and yes, even tech companies.
