A longtime DiversityInc Top 50 company, Procter & Gamble has a strong multicultural-marketing initiative and a diverse work force that mirrors its customer base.
Chairman, President and CEO AG Lafley has a demonstrated commitment to diversity, including linking 10 percent of his senior executives' bonuses to diversity. He also is on the board of the UNCF.

The company has unbiased retention in its work force and management, meaning people are retained at equal rates across racial/ethnic and gender groups.

Procter & Gamble has a strong mentoring program, with 56 percent of managers participating. The company has excellent work/life benefits, including less-than-full-time work; a compressed work week; business-travel childcare reimbursement; overtime-work childcare reimbursement; childcare resource and referral service; intermittent parental leave before a child's first birthday; and onsite services to help with personal needs, such as fitness centers, massages, personal trainers, haircuts, dry cleaning, banking, car washing, film processing, a convenience store and DVD rentals. The company also has excellent benefits for same-sex domestic partners of employees.

The company has strong employee-resource groups, including a network for Asian and Latino managers, a healthcare Latino group, a new-hire support network, a mentoring network, a women-in-marketing group, a Black-managers group, and a senior-women's group.

The company has a powerful global presence and insists its values are adhered to everywhere. The company tells us: "All P&G employees worldwide receive a Worldwide Business Conduct Manual that flows from the company purpose, values and principles. All employees must review the manual annually via company Internet or hard copy and sign that they have reviews. This is tracked to ensure all employees have complied."
