MGM Resorts Is Distinguished as a Leading Inclusion Index Company

MGM Resorts has been shortlisted and recognized as one of only 36 companies to achieve full inclusivity across their entire organization. The Leading Inclusion Index Company award was granted to the casino and entertainment company at the 2022 Seramount Inclusion Index, which saw 175 companies apply, but only a handful dozen making the final cut.

MGM Resorts Continues to Deliver on Inclusivity Targets

The organizations looking to apply and to be recognized need to excel in three distinct categories and criteria. They need to have specific recruitment practices, have a good retention track record and be focused on advancing people from underrepresented groups, such as women, racial, and ethical minorities, along with people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ employees.

All of these measures lead to an inclusive corporate culture and help boost demographic diversity for the underrepresented companies, and that is why the Leading Inclusion Index Company distinction is awarded after very careful consideration and review. Commenting on this achievement, MGM Resorts chief people, inclusion and sustainability officer Jyoti Chopra said:

We are honored to be recognized for our enduring commitments to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our company.
