ATLANTA, April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlanta-based Cingular Wireless has achieved the number one ranking for Latinos among American corporations by DiversityInc. Magazine this year. The 2006 DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity list released April 18 recognizes businesses with a commitment to diversity as indicated by factors such as employee recruitment and retention, and regular and consistent diversity training and communications programs.
"We are pleased to be leaders in this effort among U.S. companies," says Bob Reed, Cingular vice president for diversity and inclusion. "Our entire management team considers diversity a business imperative, and our commitment to diversity -- besides being the right thing to do -- adds value to our company and our communities."
Cingular is also among the top 10 companies on The DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity: The Specialty Lists for its recognizable commitments to women executives, people with disabilities, and gay/lesbian/bi- sexual/transsexual (GLBT) employees. The company made the Top 50 list in 2005 in the 43rd place but moved up this year to number 15. Additionally, Cingular was chosen last year as one of the 50 Best Places to Work for Hispanic women by LATINAStyle, a national women's magazine.
