Why
It's on the Top 50: Ford is the only auto company to make the Top 50 every
year since it started in 2001. Despite great industry upheaval, Ford has
maintained its diversity commitment as a core component of its business
strategy.
Diversity Strengths: Ford has strong and effective
internal and external diversity councils, the latter chaired by NAACP Chairman
Julian Bond. Both councils meet every quarter.
The company has excellent
work/life benefits, including sabbatical leaves, alternative work arrangements
and onsite religious networks, including prayer rooms. Ford's 11
employee-resource groups are among the strongest in the nation, and its
Interfaith Network may be the top religious-employee network anywhere. Its
groups are: Ford African Ancestry Network (FAAN); Ford Asian Indian Association
(FAIA); Ford Chinese Association (FCA); Ford Employees Dealing with disAbilities
(FEDA); Ford GLOBE, the ERG for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender
Employees; Ford Parenting Network (FPN); Ford Hispanic Network Group (FHNG);
Ford Interfaith Network (FIN); Middle Eastern Community @ Ford (MEC);
Professional Women's Network (PWN), and Ford Veterans Network Group
(VET_NG).
Ford gets high marks for global diversity, especially because
it refuses to do business in countries that don't have the same human-rights
values (only 18 percent of Top 50 companies do this) and works to change the
values in countries with oppressive laws (only 12 percent of Top 50 companies do
this). Ford has mandatory diversity training worldwide and was the first company
in the auto industry to develop its own code of Basic Working Conditions,
announced in 2003.
President, CEO and Director Alan R.
Mulally: "Ford is a global business. We have a lot of talented people
working together, and our performance will be determined by the breadth and the
depth of our inclusion of all of our people. The more we embrace our differences
within Ford--diversity of thought, experience, perspective, race, gender, faith
and more--the better we can deliver what the customers want and the more
successful Ford will be."
