This year, 175 organisations applied to the 2022 Seramount Inclusion Index and MGM Resorts is among only 36 organisations recognised as a Leading Inclusion Index Company.
To be taken into consideration, organisations and companies submit data to be measured in three key areas: best practices in recruitment, retention and advancement of people from underrepresented groups (women, racial/ethical minorities, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ individuals); inclusive corporate culture (including leadership accountability); and demographic diversity for women and racial/ethnic minorities.
MGM Resorts Chief People, Inclusion and Sustainability Officer, Jyoti Chopra, commented: “We are honoured to be recognised for our enduring commitments to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion throughout our company.
"Our continuous growth in this area furthers our determination to ensure the principles of diversity and inclusion remain a focus and integral part of our people strategy.”
Katie Oertli Mooney, Managing Director of Diversity Best Practices at Seramount, added: “We are pleased to see corporations continue to focus on their DEI efforts effectiveness by evaluating their accountability measures through precise metrics that pinpoint any challenges and create opportunities for next steps.
“We are proud to recognize our Inclusion Index companies for their progress and dedication to creating inclusive workplaces where all talent is valued and set up for their own success.”
The 2022 Seramount Inclusion Index showed that 80% of companies provide learning and development opportunities, 89% provide anti-racism training, 90% set percentage goals for diverse representation, 67% compensate for DEI results and 97% of companies have formal supplier diversity programs.
