MGM Resorts International recognized for commitment to inclusion and diversity

MGM Resorts International has been named a Pinnacle Inclusion Index Company in the 2024 Seramount Inclusion Index.

Renowned as the preeminent organisational thought leaders to share best practices and develop innovative solutions for cultural change, Seramount’s recognition underscores MGM Resorts’ commitment to fostering an equitable and inclusive workplace across its operations.

“We are honoured to be recognized for our commitment to cultivating an inclusive culture of belonging and opportunity at MGM Resorts,” said chief people, Inclusion and sustainability officer Jyoti Chopra. “This designation highlights how deeply our core values are embedded in our approach to empowering and supporting our people.”

Twenty-nine organisations were recognised this year as Pinnacle Inclusion Index Companies, with MGM Resorts achieving this ranking for the second year in a row. This highest-rated tier is awarded to organisations that excel in three key areas: effective practices in the recruitment, retention, and advancement of people from underrepresented groups; fostering an inclusive corporate culture including leadership accountability; and demographic workforce diversity.

This year, 160 organisations applied to the 2024 Seramount Inclusion Index.

MGM Resorts International has been making waves in the corporate world for its unwavering commitment to inclusion and diversity. The company, which operates some of the most iconic resorts and casinos in Las Vegas and around the world, has been recognized for its efforts to create a more inclusive and diverse workplace.

One of the key initiatives that MGM Resorts International has implemented is its Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Council, which is made up of senior leaders from across the organization. This council is responsible for setting the company’s diversity and inclusion strategy and ensuring that it is integrated into all aspects of the business.

In addition to its leadership council, MGM Resorts International has also launched several programs aimed at promoting diversity and inclusion within the company. These programs include unconscious bias training for employees, mentorship opportunities for underrepresented groups, and employee resource groups that provide support and networking opportunities for employees from diverse backgrounds.

MGM Resorts International’s commitment to inclusion and diversity has not gone unnoticed. The company has been recognized by several organizations for its efforts, including being named one of the “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality” by the Human Rights Campaign and receiving a perfect score on the Disability Equality Index.

In a statement, MGM Resorts International CEO Bill Hornbuckle emphasized the importance of creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. “We believe that diversity and inclusion are not just buzzwords, but essential components of a successful business,” he said. “By fostering a culture where all employees feel valued and respected, we can drive innovation, creativity, and ultimately, business success.”

As companies around the world increasingly recognize the benefits of diversity and inclusion, MGM Resorts International stands out as a leader in this area. By prioritizing diversity and inclusion in its workplace, the company is not only creating a more welcoming environment for its employees, but also setting an example for other organizations to follow.
