In addition, Humana is No. 10 on the DiversityInc list of the
Top 18 Companies for Veterans.
The DiversityInc Top 50 list, issued yearly since 2001,
recognizes the nation’s top companies for diversity and inclusion
management. These companies excel in such areas as hiring,
retaining and promoting women, minorities, people with
disabilities, LGBT and veterans.
More than 1,000 companies are evaluated for this honor each
year, rated in four key areas of diversity management:
- Talent Pipeline: workforce
breakdown, recruitment, diameter of existing talent,
structures
- Talent Development: employee
resource groups, mentoring, philanthropy, movement, fairness
- Leadership Accountability:
responsible for results, personal communications, visibility
- Supplier Diversity: spend with
companies owned by people from underrepresented groups,
accountability, support
“We’re honored to be on this list and proud that our employees
reflect the wide variety of the communities in which we work,” said
Bruce Broussard, Humana’s President and CEO. “Our members are
unique and have different health needs and goals. Having a diverse
group of employees who can empathize with and relate to our members
is critical to our helping them achieve their best health.”
The DiversityInc list is derived exclusively from corporate
survey submissions, and there is no cost. To be considered for a
spot in the DiversityInc Top 50, a company must score above average
in recruitment, talent development, senior leadership commitment
and supplier diversity. Companies are evaluated within the context
of their own industries.
“Diversity drives innovation at Humana, and we rely on the
unique characteristics, backgrounds, and beliefs of our employees
to expand our ways of thinking and improve business outcomes,” said
Tim Huval, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer.
“We strive every day for an inclusive culture that allows everyone
to bring their best selves to work, instills empowerment, and helps
us connect with our members in meaningful ways.”
This year’s award dinner in New York featured 1,000
attendees from 122 companies and organizations. Dozens of C-suite
executives — including 22 CEOs and 24 CHROs — from 28 various
industries helped cheer on their colleagues. The announcement
dinner featured Don Lemon, anchor, “CNN Tonight with Don Lemon”;
Marvin Ellison, CEO, JC Penney; and Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., founder
and president, Rainbow PUSH Coalition.
"Events of the past year have demonstrated that decisive ethical
leadership is necessary to guide any organization to success," said
Luke Visconti, founder and CEO of DiversityInc. "Successful
leaders hold themselves accountable to be culturally competent, a
skill that requires constant learning. DiversityInc Top
50 Companies have a metrics-evidenced ability to treat people more
fairly than other large companies. They also have a
greater-than-average return for their shareholders."
