WICHITA, Kan., May 9, 2017 /CNW/ -- Spirit AeroSystems has been
named a 2017 DiversityInc Noteworthy Company, DiversityInc
announced at diversity and inclusion's keystone event held at
Cipriani Wall Street Tuesday, May
2.
"Spirit continues to invest in creating an all-inclusive
environment, where employees of all backgrounds and experiences are
given the opportunity to make positive contributions to the company
and excel in their chosen fields," said Coleen Tabor, Spirit's director of Talent and
Diversity. "We are honored to again be recognized by DiversityInc
for our achievements and continued progress."
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.
"There are simply not enough qualified people to hire. A
company's ability to find the best and brightest, advance and
retain them equitably is a decisive competitive
advantage," notes Luke Visconti,
founder and CEO of DiversityInc.
DiversityInc's extensive annual survey yields an empirically
driven ranking based on recruitment, talent development, senior
leadership commitment and supplier diversity. This year's
competition was improved by new survey questions, increased
emphasis on fairness over chasing numbers and more sophisticated
analysis from DiversityInc's data scientists.
"Spirit places a lot of emphasis on growing a diverse
workforce," Tabor said. "We recognize and fully appreciate that the
unique qualities of our employees bring tremendous value to our
business and are critical to ensuring our long-term success and
establishing Spirit as a trusted partner to our customers,
shareholders and communities."
