Global job opportunities and great benefits draw many diverse employees to this financial services company, where their ranks have grown by 44% over the past 10 years. To keep its workforce fully engaged, management recently debuted the Hispanic Leadership Advancement and African American Talent Investment programs, both of which provide participants with customized development activities as well as small mentoring groups where they receive guidance from influential executives. Senior women who would like more exposure to the leadership ranks may join any of the 16 employee networks available nationwide or may attend the company’s Global Women’s Conference, which will be held again this October. Multicultural managers, executives and directors frequently take part in activities offered by external organizations (such as the Executive Leadership Council and the Center for Hispanic Leadership) that focus on their specific career issues.
