T
he Forbes list of Best Employers for Diversity 2021 awarded MGM Resorts International with recognition. This award is presented by Forbes and Statista, the statistics portal and industry ranking provider.
Based on Statista’s methodology, were selected the Best Employers for Diversity. Over 50,000 U.S. employees were surveyed in companies with a minimum of 1,000 employees to identify The Best Employers for Diversity.
The evaluation was based on four different criteria:
- Direct recommendations: Employees were asked to give their opinions on a series of statements regarding Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Disability, LGBTQA+ & General Diversity in their current workplace. The recommendations of women, elders, and ethnic minorities were weighted higher than the non-minority groups.
- Indirect Recommendations: Participants were also given the chance to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stand out either positively or negatively with regard to diversity. Only the recommendations of minority groups were considered.
- Diversity Among Top Executives/Board.
- Diversity Engagement Indicators were also part of the evaluation.
