尼尔森在久负盛名的DiversityInc "多元化50强企业 "榜单中排名上升了13位，位列第19位，而2017年的排名为第32位。这一巨大进步证明了我们的领导者、员工资源小组（ERGs）和所有员工的支持、奉献、参与和决心，他们始终致力于将多样性和包容性融入我们所做的一切。该榜单旨在表彰在招聘、留用和提拔女性、少数民族、残疾人、LGBT+和退伍军人方面表现突出的公司。尼尔森还入选了另外两个专业榜单--LGBT+员工榜和招聘榜。
“Nielsen’s results to date prove that leveraging our diversity of cultural backgrounds, experiences, talents and skills makes our company stronger and more useful to our clients and stakeholders,” said Nielsen CEO Mitch Barns. “Diversity is key to our growth and ability to innovate.”
Measurement and accountability are key components of our diversity and inclusion strategy and have been critical to our improvements in workforce representation, promotions, recruitment, retention and supplier diversity spend. For one, we’ve seen a nine-percentage-point increase in the racial diversity of our workforce over the past five years. Similarly, our global female representation in senior leadership is 33.8%—which is higher than other global companies, where percentages of females in senior management range between 24% and 29%, according to Catalyst, a global nonprofit that advocates for inclusive workplaces for women.
“Nielsen’s business is predicated upon people—their preferences, choices and behaviors,” said Nielsen Chief Diversity Officer Angela Talton. “Global population shifts are causing those behaviors to change at a rapid pace. Our investments, in diverse talent and programming, advance our ability to help clients anticipate and respond to those shifts.”
作为洞察和全面了解消费者行为的全球领先提供商，我们对日益多样化的市场对消费趋势的影响有着细致入微的了解，这主要得益于我们多元化和包容性的员工队伍。
在美国，尼尔森的 "多元化情报系列"（Diverse Intelligence Series）利用我们测量组合的广泛性和员工队伍的多样性，编制报告，展示多元文化和多元化消费者独特的购买和媒体消费习惯。2017年，该系列特别关注多元文化女性对主流文化、媒体表现和消费的影响。
如今，在尼尔森开展业务的国家中，有70%的国家至少有一个ERG。尼尔森对包容性的承诺还体现在我们的全球ERG在2017年实现的重要里程碑上。持续积极的黑人领导力和赋权（SABLE）和PRIDE（LGBT+）ERG都迎来了10周年纪念日。去年，我们还推出了两个新的 ERG。尼尔森新生代（N-GEN）是我们在中国推出的第八个 ERG，旨在将传统员工与处于职业生涯早期的员工聚集在一起。支持包容性文化的跨国组织（MOSAIC）是我们在英国推出的第九个ERG，旨在表彰、庆祝和利用我们员工的多样性。
