re your employees pleased with your diversity programs? How have these initiatives impacted minority profes-
sionals in the workplace? What are their views on diversity efforts? For answers to these questions and to find out
which employers are ranked highly for successfully managing diversity and inclusion—workplace conflict, lack of
professional recognition amongst women and people of color, leadership development, and retention—we asked the readers of
Career Communications Group magazines to take part in the annual “Most Admired Employers” survey.
For the 5th year running, readers of US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine, and her sister publications, have
selected the employers they admire the most. Despite the economic recession, the survey shows that many of the top employers
have maintained their commitment to effectively recruit, and to manage and retain diverse talent.
“Recruiting women and minorities, only to see them walk out of the door within a few years is a loss of investment and oppor-
tunity,” says Career Communications Group publisher and CEO Tyrone Taborn. “Retaining promising employees is just as impor-
tant as recruiting them. Companies are moving beyond simply acquiring a diverse workforce and calling it quits,” he said. “Our
survey shows that many employers are successfully managing, embracing and cultivating a diverse work environment. Minority
employees give their employers improved marks on managing diversity and being fair.” Employers named to the Most Admired
list will be honored at a special event on December 10, 2009 at Temple University.
