According to the Pew Hispanic Center, Latinos will account for half of labor growth through 2020. As a result, Latinas will play a major role in the continued diversification of the U.S. workforce. For ambitious Latinas that aim to climb the corporate ladder, these 50 companies have proven they value a diverse workforce according to Latina Style’s latest survey.

Companies responding to LATINA Style’s questionnaire are evaluated based on issues that LATINA Style magazine readers identified as most important to them in the workplace. Among the principal areas of evaluation were: number of Latina executives, Latina retention, mentoring programs, educational opportunities, alternative work policies, employee benefits, women’s issues, job retraining, affinity groups, and Hispanic relations.

“The LATINA Style 50 Report is the most exhaustive study of corporate America’s policies and opportunities for Latinas in the workplace. The companies listed on the report are the ones that truly are the best places for Latina professionals to work,” says Robert E. Bard, president and CEO of LATINA Style, Inc. “This year, we are happy to announce Accenture as our ‘Company of the Year.’ Accenture has been steadily rising up the list through the past years. Their ascension reflects a continued commitment straight from the top and throughout the company. Congratulations!”
