CHERRY HILL, N.J., APRIL 20, 2021 – Today, TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank®, has been recognized by Forbes as a Best Employer for Diversity 2021. This is TD Bank's third consecutive year receiving this prestigious award presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. TD moved up in ranking to 188, up 14 spots from last year. The awards list was announced on April 20, 2021 and can currently be viewed on the Forbes website.
The Best Employers for Diversity were selected based on Statista's innovative methodology, guaranteeing unbiased results and providing reliable insights. Over 50,000 U.S. employees were surveyed in companies with a minimum of 1,000 employees to identify The Best Employers for Diversity.
The evaluation was based on four different criteria:
- Direct recommendations: Employees were asked to give their opinions on a series of statements regarding Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Disability, LGBTQA+ & General Diversity in their current workplace. The recommendations of women, elders, and ethnic minorities were weighted higher than the non-minority groups.
- Indirect Recommendations: Participants were also given the chance to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stand out either positively or negatively with regard to diversity. Only the recommendations of minority groups were considered.
- Diversity Among Top Executives/Board and Diversity Engagement Indicators were also part of the evaluation.
Based on the results of the study, TD Bank is proud to be recognized on the Forbes list of Best Employers for Diversity 2021 and credits its advancements in diversity and inclusion to colleague engagement and leadership accountability. Together with passionate employees and active business resource groups we will continue to focus on internal education and training to create an inclusive workplace.
