TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., April 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nonprofit research institute RTI
International has earned its spot on Forbes Magazine's 2024 list of
America's Best Employers for Diversity for the third time. RTI was
393 out of 500 companies on the seventh annual ranking.
"It's a tremendous honor to be included on the Forbes list of
America's Best Employers for Diversity for 2024,"
said Bucky
Fairfax, D.B.A., executive vice president, chief human
resources officer. "This recognition over multiple years is a
testament to RTI's commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion and
belonging, and to providing a workplace where all staff are valued
for their unique contribution to our shared mission."
Forbes collaborated with market research firm Statista to
compile its list, surveying over 170,000 individuals employed by
U.S. organizations with at least 1,000 employees. Participants
rated their employers anonymously on a range of diversity-related
topics including gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age and
disability.
Their evaluation was based on three different criteria: personal
recommendations, public recommendations and key performance
indicators. The top 500 companies, based on these criteria, made it
to the final list. The analysis included survey responses from 2023
as well as responses from the last three years, with recent survey
data weighted higher.
- Employees provided opinions on a series of statements regarding
age, gender, ethnicity, disability, LGBTQIA+ and general diversity
in their current workplace.
- Participants evaluated other employers in their respective
industries regarding diversity.
- Each company's diversity-related practices were researched and
assessed including employee resource groups, the publication of
diversity data, the percentage of women in leadership roles, and
supplier diversity.
Forbes' recognition validates RTI's commitment to diversity for
its global workforce of nearly 6,000 staff in 90 countries. The
institute has a formal diversity program, promotes a diverse
company culture and publishes an annual diversity report.
Forbes has consistently acknowledged RTI as a top employer
including the following awards:
- Best Employers for Diversity in 2019, 2020 and 2024
- Best Employers for Women in 2018 and 2022
- Best Midsize Employers in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and
2022
