DiversityInc names General Mills to Top 50 Companies for Diversity list
2011 marks the company’s seventh appearance on the annual ranking
General Mills ranks 27th on this year’s list, up two spots from its 2010 ranking.
"Diversity plus inclusion equals business value,” said Kenneth Charles, vice president for Diversity and Inclusion at General Mills. “A diverse and inclusive workforce allows us to better connect with consumers and reap innovative ideas. Most importantly, it allows us to recruit and retain the talent to win now and in the future. We appreciate that people and their unique perspectives are the key to our success."
DiversityInc, which operates both a website and a monthly business magazine, calculates the annual list from a survey measuring four components: CEO commitment, human capital, corporate and organizational communications, and supplier diversity. Participation in the survey has increased dramatically, up 19 percent in 2011 to 535 companies.
