NEW YORK, April 23, 2014—New York Life has been named one of DiversityInc’s “Top 50 Companies for Diversity,” ranking 25th nationally on this prestigious list. New York Life was recognized for its talent pipeline; equitable talent development, including commitment to mentorship and philanthropy; CEO and leadership commitment; and supplier diversity.
“Earning a spot on the DiversityInc Top 50 proves that management is paying close attention to the needs of its primary constituents & employees, customers and other key stakeholders,” said DiversityInc founder and CEO, Luke Visconti. “Companies with great reputations attract the best and most skilled employees who then create and deliver the best products and services. It’s a virtuous cycle that enables public companies on the DiversityInc Top 50 list to consistently outperform the major domestic stock market indices and privately held companies to surpass their peers.”
“New York Life is proud to be named to this prestigious list for the second consecutive year,” said Joanne Rodgers, vice president and chief diversity officer, New York Life. “Being among the best companies for our diversity and inclusion practices is an important achievement and makes us an employer of choice for many.”
