Maximus jumped to #13 on the list of the top
500 companies for its company-wide commitment to diversity
Maximus (NYSE: MMS), a leading employer and provider of
government services worldwide, today announced it has been named to
the 2023 Best Employers for Diversity List by climbing 207 spots to
#13. The list is compiled annually by Forbes, which researched and
reviewed each company’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I)
best practices and conducted anonymous employee surveys.
“Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is
fundamental to who we are as a company, which is reflected by our
mission of Moving People Forward,” said Bruce Caswell, President
and Chief Executive Officer. “Maximus’ DE&I story is a journey,
not a destination. We’re taking steps to integrate DE&I into
the important work we do each day, making it part of and
strengthening the fabric of our company.”
The company’s commitment to DE&I is highlighted by the
addition of Dr. Arvenita Washington Cherry, who joined Maximus to
lead DE&I and serves as President and Chairperson of the
Maximus Foundation. Under Dr. Cherry’s leadership, Maximus
developed and implemented a comprehensive DE&I strategy through
a wave of new initiatives, including conducting employee listening
sessions and developing company-wide unconscious bias training and
assessment for people managers.
“DE&I includes everyone, and we must commit to lifelong
learning and developing authentic relationships across differences
to be successful,” said Dr. Arvenita Washington Cherry, Vice
President, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. “We’ll continue
investing in our employees and communities because we understand
that our strength lies in our differences and our desire to have an
equitable and inclusive workplace.”
After hearing from our employees, Maximus also launched six
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) in a year. With more than 4,200
members across the ERGs, this employee-led network demonstrates we
are listening to and investing in our workforce by building
intentional communications channels through regular meetings,
community conversations, and collaborative cross-ERG events.
“We’ve made diversity a priority at Maximus,” said Michelle
Link, Chief Human Resources Officer. “This ranking and DE&I
favorability scores that rose to 79% on our 2022 employee
engagement survey are indications that we’re making progress. We
know we have more to do and believe that our DE&I initiatives
are helping us move in the right direction.”
Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to create
the sixth annual list of America’s Best Employers for Diversity. To
determine the rankings, Statista surveyed more than 45,000
Americans working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees.
Participants were asked to anonymously rate their organizations
based on criteria such as age, gender, ethnicity, disability, and
LGBTQIA+ equality, as well as general diversity.
