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.
"Estamos honrados com o fato de a Diversity MBA ter visto o progresso que fizemos na Nielsen nos últimos cinco anos para inserir a diversidade e a inclusão no DNA da nossa empresa. Desde os líderes que desafiam a si mesmos e suas equipes a demonstrar comportamentos inclusivos até nossos associados que se tornam mais engajados em compartilhar percepções diversas dentro e fora da Nielsen, nossa cultura está mudando", disse Angela Talton, Diretora de Diversidade. "Estamos construindo uma cultura na qual as diversas perspectivas, formações e experiências de nossos funcionários são realmente ouvidas e valorizadas."
Aqui estão alguns dos destaques que nos ajudaram a obter esse reconhecimento:
- 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.
- Em junho de 2016, lançamos nosso primeiro programa formal de patrocínio de líderes seniores, combinando nosso CEO e 14 membros de sua equipe de liderança com associados diversificados de alto potencial. O programa de um ano oferecerá apoio aos associados à medida que eles assumirem funções de maior responsabilidade na organização. Até o momento, temos 100% de retenção dos associados patrocinados, e 20% dos participantes assumiram novas funções desde junho.
- 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.
"Esse reconhecimento é mais importante do que nunca, dada a rápida diversificação da população global", acrescentou Angela. "Nossa presença contínua na lista Diversity MBA Top 50 Out Front mostra que estamos dando todos os passos certos para criar uma cultura corporativa em que a diversidade e a inclusão são uma prioridade."
Four Nielsen associates were also named to Diversity MBA’s “100 Under 50 Emerging & Executive Leaders” list: Arun Ramaswamy, Chief Engineer; Chad Dreas, Managing Director, Media Analytics; Ana Petras, Director, Data Science; and Lena Mcintyre, Project Manager. At the September Awards Gala, each recipient was recognized for this designation.
