KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Regal Entertainment
Group, a leading motion picture exhibitor owning and operating one
of the largest theatre circuits in the
United States, has been recognized by Great Place to Work
and FORTUNE as one of the 2017 Best Workplaces for Diversity. This
prestigious recognition is determined by more than 440,000 employee
surveys from thousands of organizations in various industries, and
applauds corporate practices and opportunities including
professional development, innovation, leadership confidence and
consistent treatment among employees of different backgrounds.
Great Place to Work, a research and consulting firm, evaluated more
than 50 elements of team members' experience on the job, and
recognized a few top-ranking organizations. Based on its
outstanding performance, Regal was selected as one of Fortune's Top
100 Great Places to Work for Diversity.
"We are honored to be recognized by these prestigious
organizations, and are proud of our fantastic team at Regal," said
Randy Smith, Chief Administrative
Officer and Counsel at Regal Entertainment Group. "Regal works hard
to ensure equal opportunity throughout the organization, and to
facilitate important conversations about inclusiveness in the
workplace. Everyone brings something different to the table, and we
will continue to foster a company culture of inclusion moving
forward."
The Best Workplaces for Diversity stand out for their consistent
leadership and the meaningful ways that all employees contribute to
their organizations. Tenure for women and people of color was
higher at the leading employers than at their peers.

beyond basic fairness. They find ways to connect with each and
every employee, listening to their challenges and building on their
talents," said Michael Bush, CEO of
