Voya Financial included on the Diversity Best Practices Inclusion Index

Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE:VOYA) announced today that it has been included in the 2019 Diversity Best Practices Inclusion Index.

This year, Diversity Best Practices (DBP), a division of Working Mother Media, unveiled its third annual Inclusion Index, formed to help organizations understand gaps in demographic representation and create a road map to drive internal change and solutions through proven best practices. Among 148 organizations included, Voya was one of 23 financial services firms to earn a place on the index for leading in the creation and implementation of best practices for corporate cultures of inclusion.

“Earning a place on the Diversity Best Practices Inclusion Index reinforces our commitment to continually enhancing our efforts supporting our high-performing culture,” said Kevin Silva, Voya executive vice president and chief human resources officer. “As we work to build on our inclusive culture and diverse work environment, we are able to leverage the results from the index to measure our progress.”

The index uses data voluntarily provided by organizations to measure three key areas, including:

• Best practices in the recruitment, retention and advancement of people from underrepresented groups (women, racial/ethnic minorities, people with disabilities and members of the LGBTQ community);
• Company culture, including leadership accountability; and
• Transparency and improvement in year-to-year demographic diversity.

"The inclusion index continues to grow as more and more organizations are willing to be transparent about their progress and workforce demographics," said Deborah Munster, vice president, Diversity Best Practices. "We applaud Voya’s Diversity and Inclusion efforts as they continue to set a high bar in order to drive change and accountability."
