We all know that women and minorities represent the disadvantaged job seeker group. Most of the time, it is harder for them to find a job and eventually climb up the corporate ladder than ordinary workers because of how society labels them.
It is heartening to note that more and more companies have been embracing diversity over the years. Today, all a diversity job seeker needs to do is find a company that promotes diversity and he’ll be on the right track. The employment landscape has gradually changed to accept the fact that age, color and gender are sensitive issues that should be dealt with impartiality and open mind.
For diversity job seekers out there, here is the list of the top 50 diversity companies from DiversityInc.com. To browse through the company profiles, click here.
