Multicultural women who work at this financial services corporation can easily find role models, from Kimberly B. Davis, president of the JPmorgan Chase Foundation, who is African American, to Phyllis campbell, the chairman for the Pacific northwest region, who is Asian American. But for a quick blast of inspiration, they need only chat with their colleagues in the women of color connections network, a six-chapter resource group that offers sessions on skills building, leadership and creating a personal brand to 2,000 members. The majority of participants in internal leadership forums for African-American, Asian and latino employees are female. Management collaborates with the 12 employee networks to recruit multicultural employees: in recent hiring events for the retail financial services division, their referrals helped pull in 4,000 new candidates, up to 70% of whom (in some locations) were people of color.
