In its third year on our list, this leading bank continues to make major investments in the future of its multicultural employees. To ensure that it has a strong pool of recruits from which to choose, management works with at least 30 diversity organizations (such as the National Society of Black engineers and the National Society of Hispanic MBAs) to find top talent. After being hired, analysts and associates of color attend welcoming events and training held just for them, where they receive valuable guidance from bank leadership. Selected African-American and latino associates also participate in career development seminars through catapult, a yearlong initiative that teaches how to increase their professional profile, impact their team and achieve success. Other initiatives further boost the fortunes of multicultural female analysts, associates and VPs.
