2012
Diversit yInc
Special
Awards
BY BARBARA FRANKEL
DiversityInc will recognize the unique achievements of
seven companies at our Oct. 11–12 event in New York City.
CEOs and senior executives of these companies will tell
you how and why they focused on these areas of diversity
management and their personal involvement, and they
will give specifics on how their businesses have benefited.
These special awards are significant because they
recognize companies whose leadership and innovative
solutions demonstrate the next wave of diversity-management success. We are honoring companies in six
areas we have noted in the past three years—Community
Development, Talent Pipeline, Working Families, Global
Cultural Competence, Resource Groups and Diversity-Management Progress—plus one new area: Supplier
Diversity. This area was added this year as our criteria
for assessing significant initiatives in this area improves,
including community impact and ethical reporting of
numbers.
These companies demonstrate through their data and
their documented achievements measurable results that
positively impact both their business goals and their
employee/community populations.
