Our Mission

DiversityInc's mission is to bring education and clarity to the business benefits of diversity.

DiversityInc

DiversityInc is the leading publication on diversity and business. Founded in 1998 as a web-based publication, our monthly print magazine was launched in 2002. DiversityInc.com has the largest dedicated career center for diverse professionals, and a core part of our business is benchmarking companies against our DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity data (contact Shane Nelson or Luke Visconti).

DiversityInc is privately owned by Luke Visconti and Foulis Peacock; we have no outside investors.

Definition of Diversity Management

We define diversity management as the proactive management of race/culture, gender, orientation, disability and age to ensure equal outcome in relationships with employees, customers, investors and suppliers. We feel that the first two factors (race and gender) are the most important because they impact the treatment of the other three factors and are the most dominant loci of discrimination.

We believe that all people are created equally, and therefore, talent is distributed equally as well. We feel that an organization's management of diversity can be defined and judged in absolute metrics, most easily with human-capital statistics. A full explanation can be found in our Top 50 Companies for Diversity department.

Staff

Located in Newark, N.J., we also have a satellite bureau in Los Angeles. More than half of our employees are women and more than 75 percent are people of color. Our diversity is evenly representational across all levels of salary and responsibility. DiversityInc offers partner benefits, a generous 401K, and tuition reimbursement. Our job openings are posted on our career center.

Our Target Audience

Our target audience is line executives at larger corporations and organizations and is appropriate for line management, owners/partners of women-and minority-owned businesses, and educators and students. Our audience is diverse in race, gender, orientation, ability and age — and includes senior executives, community leaders, educators and professionals who are highly educated, key influencers and decision makers — all passionate about diversity in their professional and personal lives.
