Business Wire
Keith Wyche, president, East Region for Pitney Bowes Management
Services, Inc. (PBMS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pitney Bowes
Inc. (NYSE: PBI) is the author of a new book entitled, �Good is Not
Enough, and Other Unwritten Rules for Minority Professionals�
(Portfolio). The book provides insights into how minority
professionals can advance in their careers. In the book, Wyche
presents his own experiences as well as those of other successful
minority professionals in moving up the corporate ladder. A recent
review in Time magazine described it as, �a solid career guide,
inspirational tract and source of knowing advice for young Latino,
Asian and black professionals.� �Minorities must be prepared; must
create ways to excel in corporate America other than the status
quo. This book, in offering the insights and strategies from those
who have �made it� in corporate America, shares how they have moved
from personal achievement to excellence,� stated Wyche. Wyche
suggests that minority job candidates gain insights on potential
employers by asking questions such as, �Is it considered a �great
place to work� by any leading business publications? Has it won any
awards for diversity? Do members of the board as well as the senior
leadership of the organization consist of people who look like you?
Is it affiliated with, or does it support or endorse professional
and social organizations that are meaningful to you?� �One company
that scores a high �yes� in response to these questions is Pitney
Bowes. It is a company that supports and nurtures diversity �
diversity of talent, diversity of thought and diversity in the
services and solutions it offers customers,� Wyche added. He
mentioned that from the �diversity of talent� perspective, Pitney
Bowes has received several recognitions in 2008 alone, including
the 2008 Best Diversity Companies list by Diversity/Careers in
Engineering and Information Technology; Black Enterprise Magazine�s
�Top 50 Companies for Diversity� list; and Diversity MBA Magazine�s
�Top 50 Companies for Diverse Managers to Work� list. To exemplify
�Diversity of Thought,� Wyche pointed out that Pitney Bowes has
been established as a thought leader by being ranked among the Top
100 Global Outsourcing Service Providers by the International
Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) for the past two
years, and named among the top Electronic Discovery Service
Providers in the 2008 Socha-Gelbmann Survey, among other accolades.
�Also, we have a diverse array of technology-enabled products,
services and solutions that best meet our customers� needs,� Wyche
noted. Johnna Torsone, Pitney Bowes executive vice president &
Chief Human Resources officer noted that, �Diversity is integral to
the way we do business and manage people. We applaud Keith for
serving as a role model to our workforce at Pitney Bowes and to
