MGM Resorts International and Wynn Resorts both ranked near the middle of the list of the top 500 employers for diversity in the U.S. MGM ranked 263rd and Wynn ranked 366th on the magazine’s list of employers devoted to maintaining a diverse workforce
Forbes based the list on surveys of nearly 50,000 workers at businesses with at least 1,000 employees. Respondents were asked to rate their workplaces on equality in the areas of age, gender, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation.
“Inclusion is key to our future,” MGM Corporate Responsibility Officer Phyllis James said in a statement to the Las Vegas Sun. “For us, this is a continuous business imperative central to our success as a highly productive, innovative enterprise and as an employer, business partner and community citizen of choice.”
Wynn Resorts Chief Communications Officer Michael Weaver said the company’s “commitment to excellence extends to creating a workplace where each of our 25,000 employees feel respected, valued, and empowered.”
Ball Corp., a packing firm based in Colorado, topped the list.
