For 23 years, LATINA Style has compiled a list of the 50 Best
Companies for Latinas to Work for in the United States for both its
readers and companies seeking to bring diversity and
inclusion at the forefront of their mission. The hiring, training, and
retaining of minorities, especially Latinas, has become a business
imperative for corporations and we are optimistic about the
progression. Check out the list of companies on a mission to
advance and empower Latinas.

Commitment to Latinas in Corporate
America
Employee Resource Groups, leadership and development
programs throughout the country are a few examples of ways to
help build a pipeline of talented Latina executives. The corporate
companies highlighted- Bank of America, Accenture, and New
York Life - are only a few of the many companies hiring, nurturing
and retaining talent so they can reach the executive ranks.

Continued growth in STEM industry jobs means increased
opportunities in STEM occupations, however, in a 2018 Pew
Research Center report, Hispanics were shown to be significantly
underrepresented in the STEM workforce. Meet two dedicated
and innovative Latinas, Yhanira L. Adán Martínez, Assistant Vice
President, HR Operational Excellence at USAA, and Itzel
Martinez, Software Engineer at Pandora, who did not miss any
opportunity to accomplish their goals in the STEM field.
