DiversityInc announced that Aetna (NYSE: AET) was named to its
“2011 DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity®” list. Aetna
continues to make significant progress, moving up 11 spots to 19th
place this year. In addition, Aetna once again ranked in the top
ten companies for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT)
employees and for employees with disabilities.
In November 2010 the company also won a “DiversityInc Special
Award for Unique Diversity-Management Achievements,” as a “Top
Company for Employee Resource Groups” (ERGs).
“This is another milestone on Aetna's diversity journey. This
recognition demonstrates that integrating Aetna’s diversity
strategy into our business practices is making a meaningful
difference for Aetna employees, the people we serve, and the
communities in which we live and work.” said Raymond Arroyo,
Aetna’s Chief Diversity Officer.
To qualify for The DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity
list, participating companies must have more than 1,000 employees
and complete a questionnaire filled with empirical questions.
According to DiversityInc, Aetna demonstrated strength in four
areas: CEO commitment; human capital; internal and external
communication; and supplier diversity.
"Aetna's move up 11 spots on the list is very well deserved,"
said DiversityInc CEO Luke Visconti. "Former CEO and current
Chairman Ron Williams' strong commitment to diversity management as
a business driver is continuing with CEO Mark Bertolini, whose
belief in diversity is personal and deep-rooted. The tireless
efforts of Chief Diversity Officer Raymond Arroyo have enabled
Aetna to emerge as a true diversity-management leader."
