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.
"我们很荣幸Diversity MBA看到了尼尔森在过去五年中为将多元化和包容性融入公司DNA而取得的进步。首席多元化官安吉拉-塔尔顿（Angela Talton）表示："从领导者挑战自己和团队的包容性行为，到我们的员工更加积极地在尼尔森内外分享多元化见解，我们的企业文化正在发生变化。"我们正在建立一种文化，在这种文化中，我们员工的不同观点、背景和经验能够被真正倾听和重视。
以下是我们获得这一殊荣的几个亮点：
- 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，我们启动了首个正式的 "高级领导人赞助计划"，将首席执行官及其领导团队的 14 名成员与极具潜力的多元化员工配对。这项为期一年的计划将为员工提供支持，帮助他们在组织中承担更大的责任。迄今为止，我们的受助员工留任率达到 100%，20% 的参与者自 6 月份以来担任了新职务。
- 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.
"安吉拉补充说："在全球人口迅速多元化的背景下，这种认可比以往任何时候都更加重要。"我们在多元化 MBA 50 强榜单上的持续领先地位表明，我们正在采取一切正确的措施，创建一种将多元化和包容性作为优先事项的企业文化。
