RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. - Nonprofit research institute RTI International has earned its spot on Forbes Magazine's 2024 list of America's Best Employers for Diversity for the third time. RTI was 393 out of 500 companies on the seventh annual ranking.
"It's a tremendous honor to be included on the Forbes list of America's Best Employers for Diversity for 2024," said Bucky Fairfax, D.B.A., executive vice president, chief human resources officer. "This recognition over multiple years is a testament to RTI's commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging, and to providing a workplace where all staff are valued for their unique contribution to our shared mission."
Forbes collaborated with market research firm Statista to compile its list, surveying over 170,000 individuals employed by U.S. organizations with at least 1,000 employees. Participants rated their employers anonymously on a range of diversity-related topics including gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age and disability.
Their evaluation was based on three different criteria: personal recommendations, public recommendations and key performance indicators. The top 500 companies, based on these criteria, made it to the final list. The analysis included survey responses from 2023 as well as responses from the last three years, with recent survey data weighted higher.
Forbes has consistently acknowledged RTI as a top employer including the following awards:
