LATINA Style Magazine Announces the 10 Year Anniversary of the LATINA Style 50

At a standing room only event LATINA Style Magazine proudly celebrated its 10th Year Anniversary of the LATINA Style 50 Awards program. U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao delivered the keynote remarks for the eight consecutive year. PepsiCo Inc. was honored as the company of the year.

“We are proud to have reached a milestone for providing a national report that highlights those corporations which practice workplace diversity at the highest standards for our Latina professionals,” says Robert E. Bard, president and CEO of LATINA Style. “This year I am particularly pleased to acknowledge those corporations that have made the Top 50 list every year since 1998: Aetna Inc., Allstate Insurance Co., American Express Co., Citigroup Inc., Colgate-Palmolive Co., Fannie Mae, General Motors Corp., IBM, Merrill Lynch, Principal Financial Group, The Procter & Gamble Co., State Farm Mutual Insurance Companies and Wachovia. These companies have truly shown a commitment to excellence and investment on their precious assets, the Latina professional.”

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

The number of Hispanic working women in the U.S. workforce exceeds seven and a half million and the numbers continue to rise. LATINA Style 50 companies employ 4,627,936 employees, of those 306,273 are Latinas, representing 6.6% of the total workforce of the selected companies.

The 2007 Company of the Year is New York based, PepsiCo. PepsiCo supports the development of its Latina employees through a myriad of networking groups like the Pepsi Latino Network and Adelante. Past Company of the Year winners since 1998 include Allstate, US West, SBC, Citigroup, Fannie Mae, Verizon, General Mills, Bank of America and McDonalds’.

The LATINA Style 50 Report is the most respected evaluation of corporate America’s career development opportunities for Latinas, and sets the standard for corporate America’s sensitivity to the needs and goals of professional Hispanic women in the workplace.
