Chrysler Group announced it has been named one of the 50 "Best Companies for Working Hispanic Women," according to Latina Style magazine's fifth annual corporate poll of best places to work. This is the fourth year Chrysler Group has been named to the list. Latina Style's national listing is the result of research involving more than 600 of the most respected corporations in the U.S. The Latina Style "Top 50" is the only poll evaluating corporate America's responsiveness to the needs and aspirations of the modern Hispanic working woman. "Chrysler Group has always worked hard to find ways to enhance the value of our enterprise by creating an inclusive environment that encourages and values teamwork and inspires all employees to work with passion and enthusiasm," said Nancy Rae, senior vice president - Human Resources. "We realize that a diverse workforce contributes to a fulfilling work experience." Companies participating in the poll were evaluated on issues identified as the most important within the workplace by Latina Style's readers. A few of those areas included: number of Latina executives; mentoring programs; Latinas on board of directors; educational opportunities; dependent/child-care support; childbirth/family leave; alternative work policies; benefits; women's issues; and Hispanic relations. Chrysler Group recently added Steve Rojas, owner of Fullerton Dodge in California, as an outside advisor to its enterprise-wide Diversity Council. Rojas has been recognized for his entrepreneurial success within the Hispanic community and was past president of the DaimlerChrysler Minority Dealer Association. Chrysler Group says its Diversity Council is comprised of many of its top officers. The role of the Council is to lead the business case for diversity while ensuring an inclusive environment. The Council also works to leverage diversity as a fundamental business strategy. The Latina Style award was recently presented at a ceremony in Washington, D.C.
