LAS VEGAS, May 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- For the
14th 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.
DiversityInc's extensive annual survey yields an empirically
driven ranking based on talent results in the workforce and
management, senior leadership accountability, talent programs,
workplace practices, philanthropy and supplier diversity. This
year's competition was improved by adding questions that connect
talent programs and workplace practices to desired talent results.
The Top 50 analysis also addressed the intersectionality of race by
analyzing women and men representation of each race/ethnicity
separately, rather than combined.
"For almost 20 years we have worked passionately and diligently
to weave inclusion throughout the fabric of our culture here at MGM
Resorts," said Phyllis A. James, the
company's Chief Diversity and 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. We are proud to be recognized for this honor for the
14th year and will continue to keep diversity has a top
priority."
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.
"We revamped our algorithms and now have a reliability quotient
of .92," notes Luke Visconti,
founder and CEO of DiversityInc. "DiversityInc Top 50 Companies
have a decisive advantage because they treat people more fairly
than other companies. Everybody, including white men, are far
better off working for them because there is more opportunity at
better run companies. Top 50 companies also deliver a
greater-than-average return for shareholders."
