Why It's on the Top 50: In its first time entering the competition, Disney gets high marks for Human Capital and Corporate and Organizational Communications.
Diversity Strengths:
The work force is 39 percent Black, Latino, Asian and Native American, but new hires are 54 percent, showing significant progress. By comparison, the U.S. work force is 29 percent non-white.
The company's board of directors is 8 percent Black, 8 percent Latino and 8 percent Asian, as well as 25 percent women.
Disney has strong work/life benefits, including floating religious holidays, survivor support and a personal-assistance network. The company has mandatory diversity training for its U.S. work force.
Disney has very strong employee-resource groups, used both for marketing/community outreach and recruitment/retention/talent development. The groups meet on company time and are company-funded, and a senior executive is a member of each.
Disney also has a robust philanthropic outreach to nonprofits serving traditionally underrepresented groups, including the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation, the Boys & Girls Club of America and African American Experience Fund.
Jeffrey Thompson, Vice President, Global Diversity: "Given global demographic shifts and the increasing diversity of our audiences and talent pool worldwide, it's important that Disney continuously strives to reflect those changes in its creative content and work force. Being more diverse is now an important part of our growth strategy."
