For the fifth consecutive year, Nielsen was named to Diversity MBA’s “Best Companies for Women and Diverse Managers,” also known as the 50 Out Front list, placing at number nine. This year, Diversity MBA’s survey emphasized companies that have strategically crafted a talent development pipeline, ensuring women and diverse associates have access to leadership roles. Nielsen was also named to Diversity MBA’s Top 10 Best in Class Categories for Recruitment, Board Diversity, Succession Planning, Workplace Inclusion, and Accountability.
"Kami merasa terhormat bahwa Diversity MBA telah melihat kemajuan yang telah kami capai di Nielsen selama lima tahun terakhir dalam menanamkan keberagaman dan inklusi ke dalam DNA perusahaan kami. Mulai dari para pemimpin yang menantang diri mereka sendiri dan tim mereka untuk menunjukkan perilaku inklusif hingga para karyawan yang menjadi lebih terlibat dalam berbagi wawasan yang beragam, baik di dalam maupun di luar Nielsen, budaya kami berubah," ujar Angela Talton, Chief Diversity Officer. "Kami sedang membangun budaya di mana perspektif, latar belakang, dan pengalaman yang beragam dari para karyawan kami benar-benar didengar dan dihargai."
Berikut ini adalah beberapa sorotan yang membantu kami mendapatkan pengakuan ini:
- Twenty-eight participants in the third class of the Diverse Leadership Network (DLN) completed their 15-month leadership development curriculum. Nielsen has advanced 83% of program alumni to new roles within the company, and we’ve seen a 70% lower turnover rate among participants than the total company population.
- Our Employee Resource Groups (ERG) hosted the fourth-annual ERG Experience Week, also known as enERGize 2017. This year, we engaged with more than 5,200 associates in 49 countries and more than 70 offices around the world. We also launched 10 new ERG chapters, increasing membership by 5% during that week.
- Jamere Jackson, our Chief Financial Officer, and Angela Talton, our Chief Diversity Officer, sponsored the first-ever Black Employee Forum, which convened more than 200 U.S.-based associates, senior leaders, clients and community partners designed to enrich Black employees’ connection to the Nielsen employee experience. To-date, we have 93% retention of associates who attended the forum. Nielsen also recently held its first Hispanic Employee Forum on Oct. 2-3, 2017.
- Pada bulan Juni 2016, kami meluncurkan Program Sponsorship Pemimpin Senior formal pertama kami, yang mempertemukan CEO kami dan 14 anggota tim kepemimpinannya dengan para rekanan yang memiliki potensi tinggi dan beragam. Program yang berlangsung selama satu tahun ini akan memberikan advokasi kepada para rekanan saat mereka mengejar peran dengan tanggung jawab yang lebih besar dalam organisasi. Hingga saat ini, kami memiliki 100% retensi karyawan yang disponsori, dan 20% peserta telah mengambil peran baru sejak bulan Juni.
- Nielsen has added two new board members: David Rawlinson and Lauren Zalaznick. Rawlinson, appointed in February 2017, is President of Online Business for W.W. Grainger and the first African-American male to sit on our board. Zalaznick, appointed in May 2016, is a seasoned media executive with experience delivering growth for some of the strongest brands in media.
"Pengakuan ini semakin penting mengingat populasi global yang semakin beragam," tambah Angela. "Keberadaan kami yang berkelanjutan dalam daftar Diversity MBA Top 50 Out Front menunjukkan bahwa kami mengambil semua langkah yang tepat untuk menciptakan budaya perusahaan yang mengedepankan keberagaman dan inklusi."
