DiversityInc's 25 Noteworthy Companies
Read More
|
Now in its tenth year, the DiversityInc Top 50 competition is an editorial, objective process, obtained through a detailed,
analytic survey of more than 200 questions. The overall intent is not just to track metrics but to draw an accurate picture
of a company's culture.
The survey is sent to any company requesting it that has more than 1,000 U.S. employees. There is no fee to enter and no
requirement to advertise. Every company that enters receives a free report card based on all four areas we measure (CEO
Commitment, Human Capital, Corporate and Organizational Communications, and Supplier Diversity), plus a total point score.
Companies are assessed within the context of their industries and employee skill sets. The questions have predetermined
weightings and are evaluated based on ratios of certain questions, such as work-force demographics compared with new-hire
demographics, and relativity of one subject to another, such as mentoring best practices and management promotions.

Details on the DiversityInc Top 50, including in-depth profiles of the winning companies, interviews with their CEOs and their
best practices, will be found in the June issue of DiversityInc magazine.
Q. What are the criteria to apply for the DiversityInc Top 50?
A. A company must have at least 1,000 U.S. employees to participate. The head of diversity at the company will fill out our in-depth survey (about 200 questions). If you meet the criteria and want to apply for next year, send contact information for the head of diversity (mailing address, telephone number and e-mail address) to benchmarking@DiversityInc.com.
Q. When is the deadline?
A. The DiversityInc Top 50 survey invitations will go out at the end of this month and will be due in February 2010. Results will be announced in March 2010 at our annual event.
Q. Can you pay to get on the list? Do advertisers receive any special breaks?
A. Absolutely not. The list is completely unbiased and many of the companies on the DiversityInc Top 50 have no business relationship with DiversityInc. Companies that advertise with DiversityInc or have other business relationships receive NO preferential treatment.
Q. How many companies participated?
A. The competition, now in its tenth year, is increasingly competitive. In 2009, 401 companies participated, up 14 percent from 2008 and 240 percent since 2003.
Q. What criteria are used for ranking?
A. The DiversityInc Top 50 list is derived exclusively from corporate survey submissions. The survey is divided into four parts: CEO Commitment, Human Capital, Corporate and Organizational Communications, and Supplier Diversity. To make the DiversityInc Top 50, a company must score above average in all four areas. Companies are evaluated within the context of their own industries.
Q. What sets The DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity apart from other companies?
A. The companies that advanced on the list are progressing much more rapidly than their competitors. Especially in an economic downturn, they recognize that diversity is the key to competitive success.
