The Best Employers for Women 2021 were chosen based on an
independent survey of 50,000 employees currently employed at
companies with at least 1,000 workers in their U.S. operations and
focused around issues relevant to women in the workplace. 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.
“Pitney Bowes is a place that not only talks about diversity and
inclusion, but actually demonstrates it as well. I feel it in every
conversation. Everybody is being valued. People pause and listen or
ask that clarifying question,” said Ana Chadwick, Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer, Pitney Bowes. “It’s both the
diversity and the inclusiveness that I have felt that makes me
incredibly proud to have joined—be a part of—Pitney Bowes.”
“Pitney Bowes is thrilled to be recognized by Forbes as a Best
Employer for Women for the fourth consecutive year,” said Sheryl
Battles, Vice President Global Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement
at Pitney Bowes. “Through generations of leadership and continuing
changes in our business, we’ve sought to deliver our best to our
stakeholders by creating a diverse and inclusive culture. We are
proud of our long history of strategic action and advocacy for
diversity and inclusion, but also know there is more work to do and
are energized to continue moving forward.”
Pitney Bowes established its first Women’s Resource Group in the
late 1980s to support the growth of women throughout the company.
The Pitney Bowes Women’s Inclusion Network (PBWIN) was established
in 2016 to create a community of advocates and allies of all
genders who want to grow their awareness and understanding, enhance
collaboration and support the professional advancement of women. It
is based on the belief that when women win, the company wins and is
designed to create opportunities for conversation, learning, and
best practice exchange for women’s growth and development.
In 2020, in response to the challenges of the pandemic, PBWIN
created a separate network for caregivers of all genders, the
Pitney Bowes Caregiver Assurance Network (PBCAN). PBCAN provides a
voice and forum to leverage practical information, education and
support about the joys and challenges of caring for others while
navigating the professional world.
Pitney Bowes’ history of diversity and inclusion started in the
1940s, and that legacy of leadership continues through today with
active support from the Board of Directors, CEO and leadership team
and employees. The company’s vision is to use diversity and
inclusion as a competitive differentiator to attract and engage the
best talent, generate enhanced value for clients, work together
better and deliver relevant innovation in the markets it operates.
The company’s belief in the value of leveraging differences to
produce superior results can be seen in the fact that Women have
led a variety of Pitney Bowes businesses and operations since the
1990s. Today, women comprise 50% of the company’s Board of
Directors, 43% of the global workforce, 30% of the Senior
Management Team and 32% of management.
