[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 304384, member: 7666"] [B][COLOR=red]Source document - UPS.com - sometimes we only see what is going on in our area, here is the Corporate perspective in the US[/COLOR][/B] [B]Diversity and UPS People[/B] UPS´s workforce is multicultural, multidimensional, and reflective of the broad attributes of our global communities. In fact, each year since 1999, UPS has been consecutively ranked by FORTUNE® magazine as one of the "50 Best Companies for Minorities." UPS understands that diversity encompasses more than ethnicity, gender, and age. It´s how employees think, the ideas they contribute, and their general attitude toward work and life. Diversity is encouraged by recognizing the value of people´s different experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives. Diversity is a valuable, core component of UPS because it brings a wider range of resources, skills, and ideas to the business. Long-standing company policies - such as employee ownership, equal opportunity, promotion from within, and teamwork - have helped make UPS a preferred employer. Diversity impacts UPS´s business from many perspectives, whether it´s in meeting the needs of a diverse customer base, working with a diverse supplier network, or gaining momentum from the varied contributions of our diverse workforce. [LIST] [*]African-Americans, Hispanics, Asian-Pacific Americans and other minorities make up [B]35[/B] [B]percent of the company´s 348,400[/B] employees in the United States.
