Ultimate Software (Nasdaq: ULTI), a leading provider of human
capital management (HCM) solutions in the cloud, announced today
that it has been ranked #3 on this year’s 50 Best Workplaces for
Diversity list by Fortune and Great Place to Work. The ranking
considers feedback from more than 440,000 U.S. employees surveyed
nationwide at organizations representing a range of industries.
“At Ultimate, we pride ourselves in fostering an all-inclusive
environment that respects and welcomes people from all backgrounds,
and where employees feel comfortable being their true selves every
day,” said Vivian Maza, chief people officer at Ultimate. “It’s an
absolute honor to be ranked on this list, as our ‘People First’
culture thrives on an appreciation for the unique knowledge, views,
and experiences each person brings to work. We commend those
organizations joining in our commitment to celebrating and
supporting diversity.”
To further promote and ensure a workplace culture of
inclusivity, equality, and acceptance of all individuals, Ultimate
encourages employee participation in companywide Communities of
Interest. There are four groups: PrideUS, Women in Leadership,
UltiVETS, and UltiHOPE, which was established in October as a
support network for cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers.
Because Ultimate’s Communities of Interest are intended to be
inclusive, “allies” are welcome to join any Community of Interest
they choose to support and advocate. The groups host a variety of
networking, social, and community service events year-round.
In determining the 50 Best Workplaces for Diversity list for
2017, Great Place to Work based its rankings on a data-driven
methodology applied to anonymous Trust Index™ survey responses
from 442,624 employees at Great Place to Work-Certified
organizations. The surveys evaluated more than 50 elements of
employees’ experiences on the job, covering such factors as
professional development, behaviors linked to innovation,
confidence in leadership, and consistent treatment among employees
of different backgrounds.
