Over 75,000 U.S. employees—45,000 of which are women—participated in the independent survey focused around issues relevant to women in the workplace, designed to shed light on their experiences. The participants assessed their companies according to the following criteria: Discrimination, Family Support, Flexibility, Parental Leave, Pay Equity, and Representation & Career. Additionally, participants were asked to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stand out either positively or negatively with regards to gender issues, from which only the recommendations of women were considered.

“We are honored to be recognized by Forbes as a Best Employer for Women for the third consecutive year,” said Sheryl Battles, Vice President Global Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement at Pitney Bowes. “Our inclusion in the 2020 list reflects Pitney Bowes deep-rooted commitment to create an inclusive culture in which all have an opportunity to have their voices heard, to grow and contribute to our collective success.

Shemin Nurmohamed, Chief Operating Officer, Sending Technologies commented, “As a member of the Pitney Bowes global community, I can attest that we not only see, hear and appreciate diversity of thought, race, gender, religion, color and sexual orientation, but we seek it out. We nurture and support it. We know that it is this diversity and pluralism that makes us stronger and more resilient as a company. After all, a 100 year-old company does not happen by accident.”
