WESCO International, Inc. (NYSE: WCC), a leading provider of
business-to-business distribution, logistics services, and supply
chain solutions, is pleased to announce that the company has again
been recognized by Forbes as one of the World’s Best Employers and
one of America’s Best Employers for Women.
John Engel, Chairman, President and CEO of WESCO said, “At
WESCO, our mission is to build, connect, power and protect the
world, and we believe that people are our most important asset. We
are fully committed to building an inclusive company culture that
leverages our diversity and that is essential to achieving our
vision to be the best tech-enabled, supply-chain solutions provider
in the world. We benefit from having people with different talents,
experiences and mindsets that enable us to innovate with speed and
agility, and deliver superior value.”
These prestigious awards are presented by Forbes and Statista
Inc., the world’s leading statistics portal and industry ranking
provider. The World’s Best Employers 2021 were selected based on
independent surveys of 150,000 full-time and part-time workers from
58 countries around the world. Participants were asked to rate the
companies on aspects such as image, economic footprint, talent
development, gender equality and social responsibility. The 750
companies that received the highest total scores made the final
list. The Forbes America’s Best Employers for Women ranking,
granted to only 300 companies in the United States, is based on
market research by Statista Inc. as well as an independent survey
of 50,000 Americans, including 30,000 women, working for businesses
with at least 1,000 employees. The survey, based on anonymous
feedback, examined opinions on factors such as working conditions,
parental leave, diversity, discrimination, and pay equity. The
rankings also considered representation at the executive and board
levels and initiatives to improve gender equity. The employees
Forbes surveyed represented a variety of industries across the
United States. They were asked to share opinions about their
respective employers’ culture, image, opportunities for career
development, working conditions, salary and wages, and
diversity.
Chris Wolf, EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer said, “WESCO
has recruited and hired women and minorities at an accelerated
rate. Our company is committed to building an inclusive culture
where employees can thrive. As part of our efforts in this area, in
early 2021 we created four business resource groups that focus on
professional development, networking, and community service within
the respective areas of concentration. Each of the four groups —
WIN (Women’s Impact Network), Mosaic (Black, Latino, Indigenous,
and People of Color), Pride (LGBTQ+), and Volt (Veterans) — are
making significant contributions to our business.”
