LAS VEGAS, May 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- For the
thirteenth consecutive year, MGM Resorts International has been
recognized as a Top Company for Diversity by DiversityInc., one of
the nation's leading sources on workplace diversity
management.
The DiversityInc. annual survey, issued yearly since 2001,
recognizes the nation's top companies for diversity and inclusion
management. DiversityInc's extensive annual survey yields an
empirically driven ranking based on recruitment, talent
development, senior leadership commitment, supplier diversity and
philanthropy. This year's competition was improved by new survey
questions, increased emphasis on fairness over chasing numbers and
more sophisticated analysis from DiversityInc.'s data
scientists.
"For nearly two decades, we have worked to weave inclusion
into the core of our very identity and our operations," said
Phyllis A. James, the company's
Executive Vice President and Chief Corporate Responsibility
Officer. "Diversity touches all aspects of our business – from our
workforce to our guests, to our business partners and our
communities around the world. Leveraging our differences in a
positive way makes us a more dynamic, engaged culture and brings
competitive edge. The learning is never done, but we are grateful
to be recognized for our work."
In 2000, MGM Resorts took the leadership as the first
company in the gaming and hospitality industry to voluntarily adopt
a formal diversity and inclusion initiative. This is a critical
pillar of the company's enterprise-wide social responsibility
platform, which also focuses on community investment and
environmental sustainability as key elements.
"Events of the past year have demonstrated that decisive ethical
leadership is necessary to guide any organization to success," said
Luke Visconti, founder and CEO
of DiversityInc. "Successful leaders hold themselves
accountable to be culturally competent, a skill that requires
constant learning. DiversityInc. companies have a
metrics-evidenced ability to treat people more fairly than other
large companies. They also have a greater-than-average return for
their shareholders."
