Accenture has been ranked number two in the 2013 LATINA Style
50 Report, an annual ranking that identifies the 50 best companies for
Hispanic women to work for. The Report is considered the most respected
evaluation of corporate America’s career advancement opportunities for
Hispanic women.
“The recognition from LATINA Style confirms what we’ve long
known: the success of our more than 90,000 women around the globe is key
to our success,” said Jorge Benitez, chief executive—United States and
senior managing director—North America, Accenture. “Creating an
authentically inclusive culture is a powerful differentiator, and we are
committed to supporting women’s professional goals and encourage their
success no matter how they define it.”
The questionnaire evaluates companies on several workplace issues
identified by LATINA Style readers, including: number of Hispanic
women executives, retention, mentoring programs, educational
opportunities, alternative work policies, employee benefits, women's
issues, job retraining, affinity groups, and Hispanic relations. This
year there was special interest in opportunities available for military
veterans and students, as well as health benefits for employees.
The news of LATINA Style’s 50 Report follows its announcement
earlier this year of the “Top 5 Latina Executives of the Year,” which
included Nellie Borrero, managing director – Global Inclusion &
Diversity, Accenture.
