NEW YORK, May 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM)
has again been named to Working Mother magazine's Best Companies
for Multicultural Women list, which recognizes U.S. companies that
create and use best practices in hiring, retaining and promoting
women of color. IBM is one of only two companies listed since the
initiative launched 15 years ago.
The Working Mother Research Institute has conducted the study
since 2003, tracking corporations' progress in promoting women of
color and evaluating their representation at every level of
management and decision-making.
According to IBM Chief Diversity Officer Lindsay-Rae McIntyre, "Diversity and inclusion
are more than HR policies – they need to be part of a company's
culture and values. IBM has long been committed to supporting a
diverse workforce, and our willingness to take on issues of
inclusion, fairness and equal opportunity have made us a magnet for
the smartest and most talented people in the world."
A full list of the 2017 Best Companies for Multicultural Women
