Why It’s on the List
The consumer-packaged-goods giant is a long-time diversity leader and has been on the list for nine of the last 10 years. Chairman and CEO Bob McDonald is a strong diversity leader, meeting quarterly with resource groups and holding executives directly accountable for diversity goals. He also chairs the executive diversity council. P&G has an annual Global Diversity & Inclusion Week anchored by International Women’s Day. Last year, the company launched flex@work, a global strategy to enable employees to integrate work and life needs. The company said this new initiative was one of the top two drivers of increased engagement in its employee survey this year. The company continues to use both its resource groups and its marketing team to reach multicultural consumers. In June, P&G’s My Black Is Beautiful initiative teamed up with Black Girls Rock and UNCF (the United Negro College Fund) to launch Imagine a Future. The campaign to increase self-confidence is expected to reach more than 1 million Black girls in the next three years. As another example, P&G’s Black resource group (AALT, or African Ancestry Leadership Team) holds an annual two-day meeting for all Black managers in the company with strong support from senior management. And the Latinovation Seminar for more than 800 employees showed how Latino managers are driving the business through innovation. P&G also continues to be a leader for people with disabilities, with board membership in the US Business Leadership Network, its Project REACH initiative to bring students with disabilities into the workplace, and other local and national initiatives. P&G has reached out to veterans through its Warriors to P&G recruiting initiative, to find and place qualified wounded or disabled veterans. |
