Di seluruh industri yang kami ukur, kami diandalkan sebagai sumber kebenaran. Di AS, satu kebenaran yang tak terelakkan adalah bahwa total populasi akan menjadi mayoritas multikultural pada tahun 2044. Dan konsumen Hispanik AS mendorong sebagian besar pertumbuhan multikultural ini. Itulah sebabnya, untuk membantu klien kami tumbuh di pasar multikultural, kami berkomitmen untuk secara aktif membina budaya tempat kerja yang menumbuhkan dan memajukan karyawan Hispanik.
Our efforts were recently recognized by the Hispanic Association for Corporate Responsibility (HACR) on its annual Corporate Inclusion Index (CII), which measures Hispanic inclusion in corporate America. The CII tracks companies’ policies and practices in a number of areas on a five-star scale. We received top five-star billing for our employment practices, which is a reflection of our commitment to the development of our Hispanic associates.
"Konsumen Hispanik memperluas pengaruh budaya mereka terhadap arus utama Amerika dan semakin mendefinisikan apa artinya menjadi orang Amerika," kata Michael Alicea, Chief Human Resources Officer Nielsen. "Mandat Nielsen untuk pasar yang kami layani adalah untuk membantu mengukur pergeseran ini, yang berarti sangat penting bagi kami untuk memiliki rekanan di jajaran kami yang secara budaya mampu mengkontekstualisasikan implikasi perubahan demografi bagi klien kami."
While organizations like HACR help us understand how to shape our workplace policies to meet the needs of Hispanic associates, much of our understanding comes directly from our employees themselves. Our Hispanic Organization of Leaders in Action (HOLA) employee resource group leads a variety of initiatives that demonstrably increase associate engagement, improve workplace policies and enrich the communities where we live and work. Just this year, HOLA associates were instrumental in the release of our 2019 Diverse Intelligence Series report on Latinx consumers, our support of numerous Hispanic community organizations including the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts and the celebration of numerous culturally important milestones including Hispanic Heritage Month. And our HOLA members are essential to our ability to retain and advance Hispanic leaders, which are key metrics on the HACR CII.
Hispanic leaders and associates are empowered to further our Diversity & Inclusion strategy by Nielsen’s leadership—which starts with David Kenny, our CEO and Chief Diversity Officer. In 2019, David has boldly lent his voice in support of a fair and accurate 2020 Census, preserving the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and increasing Hispanic representation in our ranks by adding his signature to The Hispanic Promise.
“Because we measure everyone, we have a responsibility to ensure that our Diversity & Inclusion program extends to everything we do—from our people to our products,” said Jose Luis Guevara, SVP of Global Input Operations and HOLA Executive Sponsor. “The recognition from HACR is an important signifier that we’re on the right track. However, it’s even more important that we continue to double down on our Hispanic talent, so we continue growing.”
