What we love meeting the professional needs of 90,000 employees who come from a wide variety of backgrounds would be challenging for some organizations, but this sprawling financial services company is known for its thoughtful approach to promoting inclusion. Every business has its own diversity office, which ensures that its programs and policies are aligned with that overall corporate mission, and managers are required to track their progress with recruiting and retaining multi cultural employees. The company’s sheer size allows for myriad mentoring programs, and many of its female managers often have multiple mentors providing them with advice on everything from finding work life balance to choosing their next positions. Tuition aid of up to $3,000 annually helps many women explore new directions.
