First Horizon a top workplace for multicultural women
May 16 2017 - 11:00AM
First Tennessee Bank’s parent company, First Horizon National Corp.
(NYSE:FHN), has been named one of the 25 Best Companies for
Multicultural Women for 2017 by Working Mother magazine — an honor
recognizing U.S. companies that create and use best practices in
hiring, retaining and promoting women of multicultural backgrounds.
First Horizon has earned a spot on Working Mother’s list of the 100
Best Companies for Working Mothers since 1995, but this is the
company’s first year to make the list of best companies for
multicultural women.
The 2017 Best Companies for Multicultural Women
list will be featured in the June/July issue of Working Mother and
posted on WorkingMother.com. The Working Mother Research
Institute has conducted the study since 2003, tracking
corporations’ progress in promoting multicultural women and
evaluating their representation at every level of management and
decision-making.
“As the daughter of a Hispanic mother, I am proud
to work for a company that is dedicated to diversity and inclusion
at every level,” said Linda Bacon, human resources compliance and
risk director at First Tennessee Bank. “First Horizon has a long
history of recruiting and retaining multicultural employees, and we
are honored to be included on this distinguished list.”
Subha V. Barry, senior vice president and managing
director for Working Mother Media, said, “Since its inception, the
Best Companies for Multicultural Women has grown from just three
qualifying companies to 25 winners who have created
forward-thinking policies and initiatives that have grown the
talent and expertise of multicultural women. We applaud our winners
who create opportunity for multicultural women to be hired, trained
and advanced in the workforce.”
Meredith Bodgas, editor-in-chief of Working Mother
Media, said, “For the second year in a row, multicultural women
make up 17 percent of the top fifth of earners at the Best
Companies, which is significantly higher than their representation
among corporate executives. This year’s report is a testament to
both the leadership of the top companies and a reminder of the
crucial work that still needs to be done to advance women of color
in the workplace.”
