MEMPHIS, Tenn., December 6, 2018—FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) announced today that Fortune Magazine has, once again, recognized the company as one of the 2018 Best Workplaces for Diversity. Fortune’s Best Workplaces for Diversity list focuses on the experiences of women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ community, and employees who are Boomers or older, as well as those with disabilities. Rankings were based on what these employees reported in a survey about the trust, pride and camaraderie they experience in the workplace, and how those experiences compare to their colleagues’ reports of the same workplaces. Also considered were employees’ daily experiences of innovation, the company’s values, and the effectiveness of their leaders, to ensure they’re consistently experienced, as well.
“At FedEx, we pride ourselves on our commitment to diversity and inclusion, which is both a business priority and a vital part of our corporate culture,” said David J. Bronczek, president and chief operating officer of FedEx Corp. “As a global transportation company that serves more than 220 countries and territories across the globe, we are proud to have a workforce that is as diverse as the world we serve. Being included on Fortune’s Best Workplaces for Diversity list again this year is a great honor for us.”
