“Attracting and retaining a
diverse work force is where
our diversity strategies begin.
We work with a variety of
internal groups, such as our
Employee Network Groups,
and external groups, such as
national minority organizations,
to help us with hiring and
retention. We’ve found that
an effective way to reach our
customers is through a work
force that they can relate to.” (Diversity Journal in March/April 2006)
