"With more than 1,000 companies participating, the competition for a spot on the DiversityInc Top 50 and Specialty Lists was up over 30% this year," said DiversityInc Founder and CEO Luke Visconti. "Companies are recognizing the importance of diversity for corporate reputation - which directly affects millennial-generation recruiting and retention. And whether you're talking about Silicon Valley, Ferguson, or Indiana, there's no denying that stories about how far we still need to come regarding diversity have been dominating the headlines in 2015."
Any company with over 1,000 U.S.-based employees is eligible to enter, and there is no cost to compete. Each company's rank is based on objective analysis of 183 separate factors, based on data from a 300-question survey.
