Sep 7, 2017 11:00 AM ET

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., September 7, 2017 /3BL Media/ - After the evaluation of more than 800 corporations, the editors of Latina Stylemagazine have named FCA US LLC to the list of the top 50 U.S. companies for Hispanic women to work. The ranking is part of the magazine’s annual Latina Style 50 Report (LS50 Report). FCA US ranked #12 of 50 top employers named to the list.

The LS50 Report highlights companies that have a dedicated effort to diverse recruitment and promotion initiatives, including companies that have programs to recruit veterans and military personnel. It is considered “the most respected evaluation of corporate America’s employment opportunities and policies as they pertain to Latinas.”

This is the 14th year the Company has been included in the Top 50 Report since the benchmark was established in 1998.

The full report will be published in the September issue of the magazine and on www.latinastyle.com

“Diversity and inclusion are core elements of the FCA US’ business strategy, and vital to our efforts to develop a workforce that enables the Company to innovate and compete in a dynamic, competitive industry,” said Kelly Tolbert, Head of Diversity, FCA US LLC. “Our consistent high performance on this important benchmark is a testament to the Company’s commitment to maintaining a work environment that respects and engages all people and cultures.”

“We congratulate FCA US on the outstanding career advancement opportunities it continues to provide its employees,” said Robert Bard, President & CEO, Latina Style magazine. “Such an outstanding record of performance can only be achieved when there is full commitment throughout the Company to diversity and inclusion.”

Latina Style magazine began the LS50 Report as “a quest to explore deeper into the business world and bring forth powerful and useful information on the increasing importance of recruiting professional Latinas.” 

In 1997, with the assistance of the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and national Hispanic organizations, the magazine developed a comprehensive survey that is sent annually to Fortune 1000 companies. The LS50 Report, the result of that annual survey process, highlights each selected company's leadership programs, employee benefits and Latina representation in senior positions.

The report is distributed to Hispanic professional and civic organizations, national women's organizations, colleges and universities, all members of Congress, the White House, members of the Cabinet, military and veteran’s organizations, as well as at major Hispanic and recruitment conferences.
