Why It's on Top 50: KPMG, which has beefed up its diversity efforts in recent years, has finally arrived. CEO Commitment and Corporate Communications helped KPMG earn its well-deserved spot on the list.
Diversity Strengths: Chairman and CEO Timothy P. Flynn personally signs off on compensation tied to diversity and meets regularly with employee-resource groups. He is on the board of Major League Baseball's Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities, a worldwide youth-outreach program.
KPMG offers same-sex partners of employees domestic-partner healthcare benefits, as all Top 50 companies do, but additionally offers bereavement leave, adoption assistance, family medical leave and relocation assistance.
Twenty-seven percent of its employees last year were in at least one resource group, compared with an average of 19 percent for the Top 50.
Its U.S. work force was 29 percent Black, Asian, Latino and Native American, but 36 percent of new hires were from those groups, demonstrating real progress in increasing racial/ethnic diversity.
The firm has strong work/life benefits, including parental leave, backup childcare, resource and referral programs for working parents, vacation-planning assistance, pre-tax transit/parking benefits and a mortgage-assistance program.
Jack Taylor, Chief Operating Officer, Americas, and Partner in Charge of U.S. Diversity: "Most organizations understand the importance of diversity. At KPMG, we have established diversity as an operating principle that is followed consistently throughout the organization. As a result, KPMG's culture and our core values promote an environment of diversity and inclusion and help ensure that dignity and respect are embedded in everything we do."
