diversity.
DALTON,
Ga., Jan. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Shaw
Industries Group Inc. (Shaw) has been named to America's Greatest
Workplaces for Diversity 2023 by Newsweek.
With research conducted by Plant-A Insights, the study reviewed
more than 350,000 employers to find the top 1,000 companies who
employees report are fostering a diverse workplace.
"Shaw works to create an environment where our associates feel
valued, respected and empowered to bring their whole selves to
work. Diversity in every form makes us stronger and results in
better outcomes for our customers and communities," said
Torrance Ford, vice president of
talent management, Shaw Industries. "And so, we are honored to be
recognized in this way. But more importantly, we are humbled and
energized to know that this ranking is informed by direct input
from our associates."
Research included review of publicly available data, interviews
with HR professionals and an anonymous online survey of a diverse
pool of employees at companies with 1,000 or more employees in the
U.S. Respondents were asked questions about corporate culture,
working environment and other subjects at both their own companies
and others they were familiar with.
"It is well-documented that workplaces filled with people with
different worldviews are more creative, more innovative and
generally make better decisions. Employing a wide variety of people
who feel comfortable and respected isn't a desirable perk, it is
simply good business," said Nancy
Cooper, Newsweek global editor in chief.
Shaw is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse company
culture. This ranking reinforces the company's continued efforts
through various initiatives to drive engagement and spark growth
through inclusive leadership.
