The Best Employers for Diversity 2024 were identified in an independent survey from a vast sample of more than 170,000 U.S.-based employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S. The evaluation was based on three different criteria:

* Personal Recommendations: Employees were asked to give their opinions on a series of statements regarding Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Disability, LGBTQIA+ & General Diversity in their current workplace.

* Public Recommendations: Participants were also given the chance to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stand out either positively or negatively with regard to diversity.

* KPIs: Extensive research was carried out to evaluate how companies fared across a range of diversity-related best-practices. This included things like Representation, Accountability & Communication, Internal Initiatives, and External Involvement.

“Diversity, equity and inclusion are not only core to our values, but also a key factor for our success,” said Keith Demmings, president and CEO, Assurant. “We strive to create diverse, winning teams and a culture where everyone has the opportunity to bring their whole selves to work in an equitable and inclusive environment.
