Inclusion And Diversity
Whirlpool Corporation is regularly recognized as a company in efforts related to inclusion and diversity. In 2019, the company has been named a Best Employer for Diversity, along with scoring a perfect 100 on the Corporate Equality Index for the 16th consecutive year.
To compile the 2019 index, Diversity Best Practices gathered data provided by each organization and measured applicants in three key areas: best practices in recruiting, retaining and advancing employees 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-over-year demographic diversity. As a Leading Inclusion Index Company, Whirlpool Corporation scored an average of at least 75 percent in those areas.
