Hilton Also Named a Top 10 Company for Supplier
Diversity
Hilton Worldwide announced today that it was named one of
DiversityInc’s annual Top 50 Companies for Diversity, and one of
the Top 10 Companies for Supplier Diversity.
“Diversity and inclusion are part of our DNA at Hilton,” said
Christopher J. Nassetta, president and CEO, Hilton Worldwide. “Like
our hotels, our workforce is global, and our success is driven by
the passion and motivation of our teams. Our culture and diversity
in all its forms around the world makes our organization strong and
drives better results.”
“This prestigious award is a tremendous accomplishment that
recognizes our commitment to making diversity part of Hilton’s
legacy,” said Matt Schuyler, chief human resource officer. “Our
teams are truly inspirational in the purpose-driven work they do to
create welcoming and inclusive work environments, and to foster the
same stewardship to create amazing experiences for our guests.”
“Hilton Worldwide moves onto the DiversityInc Top 50 with
excellent employee resource groups, including a group for veterans
and their spouses,” said DiversityInc CEO Luke Visconti. “Diversity
efforts start at the top and Hilton’s CEO, Chris Nassetta, has been
a key force in leading the diversity and inclusion initiative.”
DiversityInc Top 50 companies have significantly more diversity
than average American corporations. Compared with Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC) statistics, Top 50 companies have 20
percent more Blacks, Latinos, and Asians in management, and 13
percent more women according to DiversityInc.
CNBC covered the DiversityInc Top 50 event and provided the
stock market econometric evaluation. “The Top 50 list outperformed
the market on a short and long-term basis, which has been the case
over the past several years. This shows evidence of the link
between excellence in diversity management and superior corporate
governance,” said Visconti.
