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.
「ダイバーシティMBAが、ニールセンのDNAにダイバーシティとインクルージョンを浸透させるために、過去5年間で行ってきた進歩を評価してくれたことを光栄に思います。ニールセンの最高多様性責任者であるアンジェラ・タルトンは、次のように述べています。「ニールセンは、多様性とインクルージョンを社内のDNAに浸透させるために、過去5年間に取り組んできた成果を、Diversity MBAに評価していただけたことを光栄に思います。「私たちは、社員の多様な視点、背景、経験が真に聞かれ、評価される文化を築いています。
以下は、私たちがこのような評価を受けるに至ったハイライトの一部である：
- 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.
- 2016年6月、当社は初の正式なシニア・リーダー・スポンサーシップ・プログラムを開始し、CEOとそのリーダーシップ・チームの14名のメンバーと、高い潜在能力を持つ多様なアソシエイトとのマッチングを行いました。この1年間のプログラムは、アソシエイトが組織内でより大きな責任を担う役割を追求する際に、アソシエイトを支援するものです。現在までのところ、スポンサーとなったアソシエイトの定着率は100％で、6月以降、参加者の20％が新たな職務に就いている。
- 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.
「急速に多様化する世界人口を考えると、この評価はこれまで以上に重要です」とアンジェラは付け加えた。「ダイバーシティMBA Top 50 Out Frontのリストに当社がランクインし続けていることは、ダイバーシティとインクルージョンが優先される企業文化の創造に向けて、当社が正しいステップを踏んでいることを示しています。
