NEW YORK, May 3, 2017—New York Life maintains its #23 place on the 2017 Top 50 Companies for Diversitylist and is now ranked #2 on the list of the companies with the top Employee Resource Groups. The DiversityInc Top 50 list, issued yearly since 2001, recognizes the nation’s top companies for diversity and inclusion management. These companies excel in such areas as hiring, retaining and promoting women, minorities, people with disabilities, LGBT and veterans.
“We are honored to once again receive this prestigious recognition from DiversityInc,” said Kathleen Navarro, Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer, New York Life. “Diversity and inclusion are essential to competing in a today's marketplace. Leveraging differences drives our high performance culture and helps us create the innovative solutions that help our customers to be good at life.”
“There are simply not enough qualified people to hire. A company’s ability to find the best and brightest, advance and retain them equitably is a decisive competitive advantage,” notes Luke Visconti, founder and CEO of DiversityInc. “The DiversityInc Top 50 have a decisive metrics-evidenced ability to treat people more fairly than other large companies. They also have a greater-than-average return for their shareholders.”
DiversityInc’s extensive annual survey yields an empirically driven ranking based on recruitment, talent development, senior leadership commitment and supplier diversity. 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.
“The 10 percent increase in companies participating in the survey from a year ago proves that accountable leaders at these companies view diversity and inclusion as a key business measure,” said Carolynn Johnson, DiversityInc’s COO.
