This extensive annual survey recognizes companies that excel in
such areas as hiring, retaining and promoting women, minorities,
people with disabilities, LGBTQ and veterans. This year’s
competition was improved by adding questions that connect talent
programs and workplace practices to desired talent results.
“By fostering an inclusive and welcoming work environment,
Humana makes it possible for all employees to give 100 percent
effort toward improving the health of our members,” said Humana
President and CEO Bruce D. Broussard, who attended the awards
ceremony in New York and took part in a panel discussion titled
“Male CEOs Having a Candid Conversation About Mentoring Women.”
“Inclusion and Diversity is a key business imperative for us … it’s
one we celebrate too as it brings growth and innovation, and drives
greater empathy and understanding of our members and
teammates.”
Humana also was named the No. 7 company for Philanthropy, No. 15
for Veterans, and No. 22 among Companies for Diversity
Councils.
More than 1,800 companies are evaluated for the DiversityInc Top
50 list each year, rated in four key areas of diversity
management:
- Talent Pipeline: workforce
breakdown, recruitment, diameter of existing talent,
structures
- Talent
Development: employee resource groups, mentoring,
philanthropy, movement, fairness
- Leadership
Accountability: responsible for results, personal
communications, visibility
- Supplier Diversity: spend
with companies owned by people from underrepresented groups,
accountability, support
“Our company is committed to a healthy work environment, where
all associates are comfortable and confident being their whole
selves,” said Tim Huval, Humana’s Chief Human Resources Officer.
“We believe that our workplace should reflect the diversity of the
communities we serve. By recognizing the potential in all
associates, we will retain the best talent and be the employer of
choice.”
The DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity list is derived
exclusively from corporate survey submissions, and there is no
cost. To be considered for a spot in the DiversityInc Top 50, a
company must score above average in recruitment, talent
development, senior leadership commitment and supplier diversity.
Companies are evaluated within the context of their own
industries.
The list began in 2001, at the same time many corporations were
beginning to understand the business value of diversity-management
initiatives. Like diversity management itself, the list has evolved
significantly and continues to be refined and improved to reflect
how rapidly companies are adapting these strategies.
This year’s award dinner was well attended by C-suite executives
— including 22 CEOs and 24 CHROs — from 28 industries representing
more than 3 million US employees.
