LAS VEGAS, Jan. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts
International (NYSE: MGM) was named to Forbes' list as one of
America's Best Employers for Diversity 2020. Forbes, in partnership
with the research firm Statista, compiled the annual list by
independently surveying more than 60,000 employees at companies
that employ at least 1,000 people within the U.S.
Survey participants were asked to give their opinion on a series
of statements surrounding the topics of age, gender equality,
ethnicity, disability, LGBTQA+ and general diversity concerning
their own employer. In order to take the opinions of diverse groups
into account, the recommendations of women, elders and ethnic
minorities were weighted significantly higher than the
recommendations from non-minority groups. Additionally,
participants were given the chance to evaluate other employers in
their respective industries that stand out either positively or
negatively with regard to diversity.
"We take immense pride in our diversity and inclusion practices
and are honored to be recognized by Forbes for this distinction for
two consecutive years," said Jyoti
Chopra, Senior Vice President, Chief Diversity &
Sustainability Officer for MGM Resorts International. "We are
Focused on What Matters and committed to the development and
advancement of diverse talent through multiple initiatives within
our company and in the communities in which we operate."
MGM's diversity and inclusion strategy encompasses workforce,
workplace and marketplace initiatives. For example, in
addition to traditional recruitment methods, MGM Resorts hosts
several inclusive recruiting events each year to attract employees
who bring a range of skills, experiences and backgrounds to the
company.
