BANNOCKBURN, Ill., March 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stericycle, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRCL),
a leading provider of regulated medical waste management and secure
information destruction solutions, announced today that it has been
recognized by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group as one of
America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity and one of America's
Greatest Workplaces for Women – both in the large-size company
category for 2024.
As one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity,
Stericycle received the highest rating of five stars for offering a
diverse and inclusive work environment and celebrating the role
that diversity plays in driving creativity, innovation and
organizational success. The selection process involved a
comprehensive, independent evaluation of publicly available data,
interviews with human resources professionals, and an anonymous
online survey conducted with more than 223,000 employees at
companies across the United
States. Respondents shared insights into corporate culture,
working environments and other aspects of both their own companies
and others they were familiar with, resulting in over 1.5 million
company reviews.
As one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Women, Stericycle
was listed among the top 1,000 U.S.-based companies, which were
evaluated on metrics including compensation, work-life balance and
diversity. Newsweek's evaluation involved an assessment of publicly
accessible data, media coverage, input from human resources
professionals and large-scale confidential online surveys conducted
among over 142,000 female employees working for U.S. companies that
employed more than 500 employees in 2023.
"Diversity and inclusion is a priority and core value for our
organization," said Cindy J. Miller,
president and chief executive officer at Stericycle. "These
recognitions are a testament to our ongoing commitment to the
outreach, recruitment, hiring and development of team members who
have diverse backgrounds and unique experiences. A diverse
workplace fuels our innovation and enhances our connection to our
customers and the communities we serve."
Stericycle remains dedicated to increasing representation within
the company. Recent diversity and inclusion efforts and
achievements include:
- Strategic recruiting: Stericycle increased the
percentage of women in senior and middle management roles globally
to 30% and 33% respectively, in 2022. Additionally, in 2022,
65% of all U.S.-based new hires came from racial or ethnic minority
groups.
- Employee resource groups: Stericycle has seven employee
resource groups (ERGs) dedicated to supporting women, Black
and Latinx team members, veterans, young professionals, team
members with disabilities and their family members, and the LGBTQ+
community. The ERGs serve as a space where employees can seek
support, empowerment and mentorship.
- Training and partnerships: Stericycle conducts frequent
team member training programs and communications on
diversity-related topics. The company also formed an Equity Task
Force of Stericycle leaders who are charged with providing
recommendations that will foster an inclusive culture to drive
diversity. Additionally, Stericycle has developed
strategic partnerships with diverse community stakeholders,
including CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion, Equality Illinois, Women In Trucking, Hispanic
Alliance for Career Enhancement and American Corporate
Partners.
"Diversity is a widely discussed topic, and it remains a crucial
factor as people look for an employer or a business partner," said
Nancy Cooper, Global Editor In-Chief
at Newsweek. "Newsweek and market-data research firm Plant-A
Insights are proud to introduce 'America's Greatest Workplaces for
Diversity 2024' and the 'America's Greatest Workplaces for Women
2024' list highlighting companies that are committed to offering a
