Companies responding to LATINA Style’s questionnaire are evaluated based on matters that LATINA Stylemagazine readers deemed as most important to them in the workplace. LATINA Style is proud to recognize companies that support programs that encourage training, mentorship, and promote Latinas within the company. The LATINA Style 50 report is a reflection of those programs that Latinas are looking for when seeking job opportunities. Among the principal areas of evaluation are: the number of Latina executives, Latina retention, mentoring programs, educational opportunities, employee benefits, job retraining, affinity groups, and Hispanic relations. Evaluations for the 2018 annual report are based on 2017 data.

“Our goal is to provide the most accurate picture of what corporate America has to offer. Selecting the top 50 companies for Latinas to work for is a difficult task. Great efforts are taken to ensure that Latinas can truly find best places where to nurture their careers,” says Robert E. Bard, president and CEO, LATINA Style, Inc. “This year, Johnson & Johnson has demonstrated its faithfulness to the Latino community and took the top spot as Company of the Year. The company embraces the mission to encourage the Latino workforce and open more opportunities for the Latina community.”
