To spotlight the companies on The 2008 DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity^® list, we ran profiles each day. Today we feature the last of the profiles, Nos. 49-50: KPMG and Hilton Hotels Corp. Just click on each company's name to view the profile.

These profiles include fast facts about the companies and what diversity strengths propelled them to their ranking on the DiversityInc Top 50, and often feature quotes on the importance of diversity from their CEOs and chief diversity officers.

Companies on this list demonstrate strength in the four areas we measure: CEO Commitment, Human Capital, Corporate and Organizational Communications, and Supplier Diversity.

A total of 352 companies participated in the 2008 DiversityInc Top 50 competition, up 10 percent from last year and up 100 percent since 2003. Thirteen companies appeared on the list for the first time; 15 companies went up in ranking from last year.

Now in its eighth year, the Top 50 competition is an editorial process, entirely driven by metrics obtained in a detailed survey of more than 200 questions. The survey is sent to any company requesting it that has more than 1,000 U.S. employees. There is no fee to enter and no requirement to advertise.
