Why It's on the Top 50: After being on the 25 Noteworthy Companies list last year, Bright Horizons has finally made it on to the Top 50 with excellent Corporate and Organizational Communications and Human Capital.
Diversity Strengths: The company has an excellent mentoring program, with 50 percent of managers participating, compared with a Top 50 average of 35 percent. Bright Horizons has mandatory diversity training for its work force and mandatory employee surveys. The company gets a perfect score for communicating its diversity message on its web site.
David Lissy, CEO: "At Bright Horizons, we are stewards of hundreds of small communities of people caring for people in our child care centers, schools and offices around the world. By moving beyond mere tolerance and focusing instead on celebrating the differences among us, we are better poised to respond to the challenges and needs of our more than 700 clients and their employees, who make up the 70,000 diverse families we serve."
Chief Human Resources Officer Dan Henry: "Our commitment to diversity is integral to the mission and culture at Bright Horizons. We foster respect among colleagues by providing continuing diversity education, employee support, and employee-driven diversity councils, while at the same time ensuring that the differences among us are encouraged and valued in every interaction, every day, no matter how large or small." | |
