MADISON, N.J., Jan. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Realogy (NYSE:
RLGY), the leading and most integrated provider of residential real
estate services in the United
States, has been named by Forbes as one of America's
Best Employers for Diversity. The recognition spotlights 500
companies across two dozen industries that demonstrate a strong
commitment to diversity and inclusion.
To create the ranking, Forbes and market research company
Statista anonymously surveyed more than 60,000 employees working
for organizations with at least 1,000 people. The study considered
a variety of diversity dimensions, including gender, ethnicity,
age, LGBTQ+ and disability, as well as an index of objective and
publicly available KPIs, such as percentage of women among top
executives and the board of directors—an area in which Realogy
stands out.
"This honor is really a testament to Realogy's employees—both
the outstanding talent we have in our company and the great
environment they've created," said Ryan
Schneider, Realogy's chief executive officer and president.
"Diversity is core to the success of our business, as well as to
the success of our affiliated agents and franchisees, so it is
critically important that we lead by example and show all
employees, affiliated agents, owners and customers that we welcome,
respect and value them."
"We take great pride in being recognized for our commitment to
diversity and for fostering a culture of inclusion," said
Sunita Holzer, Chief Human Resources
Officer, Realogy. "An inclusive environment helps us attract and
promote the best people, deliver innovation and, ultimately, grow
our business by better serving the needs of our diverse employees,
affiliated agents, owners and the market. This is evidenced by our
predominantly female employee base and significant number of
diverse women in leadership roles."
Realogy cultivates a workplace of inclusion and respect through
a holistic approach that focuses on people, market and
industry framework, partnerships and suppliers. Examples and
accolades include:
- First residential real estate company to endorse the Equality
Act and fully support H.R. 1447 amending the Fair Housing Act to
include LGBTQ+ as protected classes
