The Best Employers for Diversity 2024 were identified in an independent survey from a vast sample of over 170,000 U.S.-based employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S. The evaluation was based on three different criteria:    

  • Personal Recommendations: Employees were asked to give their opinions on a series of statements regarding Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Disability, LGBTQIA+ & General Diversity in their current workplace.    

  • Public 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.    

  • KPIs: Extensive research was carried out to evaluate how companies fared across a range of diversity-related best-practices. This included things like Representation, Accountability & Communication, Internal Initiatives, and External Involvement.  

“We are proud to be included on this year’s Forbes List of Best Employers for Diversity,” said Andrea Lawson, Equifax Chief Talent & Diversity Officer. “While we celebrate this accomplishment, we recognize there is more to be done. We remain committed to the journey ahead and believe that to be successful, inclusion and diversity must be nurtured and sustained.
