How Survey Was Conducted
To determine America’s Best Employers for Diversity, Forbes partnered with market research company Statista to survey 50,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees and pinpointed the companies they identified as being most dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion.
The final rankings list the 500 employers that not only received the most recommendations, but also boast the most diverse boards and executive ranks, as well as the most proactive diversity and inclusion initiatives.
