Nielsen dengan bangga masuk dalam Indeks Kesetaraan Gender Bloomberg (GEI) 2020, yang melacak kinerja keuangan perusahaan-perusahaan publik yang berkomitmen untuk mendukung kesetaraan gender melalui pengembangan kebijakan, representasi, dan transparansi. Ini adalah tahun kedua berturut-turut Nielsen masuk dalam indeks tersebut.
The GEI was expanded in 2020 to include 325 companies (up from 230) from 42 countries and regions across 50 industries. This year, 6,000 companies across 84 countries and regions from industries as diverse as market research, banking, consumer services, engineering and retail were eligible for inclusion in the index. To be included, the reference index measures gender equality across five pillars: female leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity, inclusive culture, sexual harassment policies and a pro-women brand.
"Menjadi bagian dari GEI 2020 menunjukkan bahwa apa yang dilakukan Nielsen untuk mempromosikan kesetaraan gender telah menjadi bagian dari strategi perusahaan dan kebijakan talenta kami," ujar Sandra Sims-Williams, Wakil Presiden Senior Nielsen untuk Keragaman dan Inklusi. "Hal ini menunjukkan komitmen kami terhadap transparansi dan kepemimpinan dalam pelaporan terkait gender, sebuah langkah awal yang penting dalam mendukung kesetaraan gender secara global."
Diversity and inclusion are essential to everything we do and we measure our representation on an ongoing basis. As of November 2019, our U.S. workforce was 49% female as well as 38% racially and ethnically diverse. If we look at this metric by level, women fill over 40% of senior leadership roles, a 2% increase from January 2019. Our aim is to get this number to 46%, which was the reason chief executive officer, David Kenny signed the LEAD pledge to increase our representation by 7% in two years.
