Maximus (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of government services
worldwide, was named to Forbes’ list of America’s Best Employers
for Diversity 2021. Maximus is honored to have received such
recognition highlighting our ongoing efforts to create a more
inclusive workplace and culture for diversity, equity, and
inclusion (DE&I).
“Today's social justice movement has brought needed focus and
renewed energy to issues our nation has faced for hundreds of
years. We must ensure our efforts and resources support the right
initiatives. And to do so, Maximus must lead by example. This
recognition showcases our continued strides toward our commitment
to diversity, equity, and inclusion,” said Michelle Link, Chief
Human Resources Officer, Maximus.
As part of our ongoing strategy to increase DE&I in the
workplace, Maximus seeks to foster a culture that respects and
values individual contributions and differences. A commitment to
create a more inclusive workplace has materialized through many
forms, including developing DE&I workshops, monthly Community
Conversations, and networking events. In 2020, the Company launched
its DE&I Steering and Design Committees which lead efforts
around employee diversity across race and ethnicity, gender,
position, and division.
“We are seeing a shift in nationwide consciousness. Systemic
change won’t happen overnight, but that won’t keep us from
advocating and leading our efforts. We could not have the positive
impact on the lives of the individuals and families we serve
without a diverse and inclusive workforce and culture,” said
Link.
In partnership with Statista, a market research company, Forbes
selected America’s Best Employers for Diversity based upon an
independent survey of over 50,000 U.S. employees who work for
companies with a minimum of 1,000 employees. Participants rated
organizations based on several criteria, including age, gender,
ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, equality, and general
diversity. The list recognizes the top 500 employers who received
the most recommendations from employees and have the most proactive
diversity and inclusion initiatives including the most diverse
boards and top governing ranks.
