“At FedEx, our team members are our greatest asset and fostering
a diverse and inclusive work environment in which we can all thrive
has always been a priority for us,” said Judy Edge, corporate vice
president of Human Resources at FedEx Corp. “We are honored to be
named one of the 2017 best workplaces for diversity and are
committed to embracing and celebrating the differences and unique
talents of our team members across the globe.”
Diversity and inclusion is both a fundamental part of the FedEx
culture and a business imperative for the global transportation
company. A key driver of its commitment to diversity and inclusion
is its Corporate Diversity Council in which members collaborate
across the enterprise to motivate and inspire each other, share
best practices and support multicultural programs within the
company and communities it serves. FedEx also raises awareness and
promotes understanding of the differences among its team members
through the extensive diversity training it offers to thousands of
its employees each year.
FedEx is also purposeful about weaving diversity and inclusion
practices into recruitment, development, mentoring and advancement
opportunities to ensure it has a skilled pool of diverse talent in
the pipeline at all levels of the organization.
The Best Workplaces for Diversity ranking considered more than
440,000 employee surveys from organizations in a wide range of
industries across the US. It also accounted for the share of women,
people of color, Baby Boomers and LGBTQ individuals in the
workplace, among other factors.
In addition to this list of the top 50 workplaces for diversity
in general, Great Place to Work and Fortune are publishing separate
lists of the Best Workplaces for African-Americans, Best Workplaces
for Asian-Americans and Best Workplaces for Latinos. In 2016, FedEx
ranked #3 on the 10 Best Workplaces for African-Americans list.
