The Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50, unveiled April 23, used improved methodology to rank an increasingly competitive set of companies that are using diversity management to attract and retain a global, multicultural workforce and gain market share.
It also marked the return of the Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Stock Index, which had been used for four years before the subprime crash but was discontinued when the prevalence of banks on the list caused it be noncompetitive. The 2013 Stock Index, again calculated by Samuel A. Ramirez & Company, Inc., outperformed the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 on a one-, three- and five-year basis.
The Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50 survey is also used to determine our 14 specialty lists, including our new Top 10 Companies for Veterans list and the Top 10 Hospital Systems list, which takes on greater importance this year under the transformations created by the Affordable Care Act.
