Stellantis Named a Top Workplace for Latinas

LATINA Style magazine compiles an annual list of the Top 50 Best Companies for Latinas to Work in the U.S., and this year, Stellantis was one of the top ten corporations named. Not only did the company come in at number eight on the list, moving up two spots from last year, but it was the highest ranked automaker on the list overall as well. Since the Top 50 list was established by LATINA Style in 1998, Stellantis has made the ranks twenty times.

“Our inclusion on the comprehensive LATINA Style benchmark report for the past two decades reflects our long-standing commitment to respecting and fully engaging all people and cultures represented in Stellantis’ rich multicultural mosaic,” said Lottie Holland, vice president of diversity, inclusion, engagement and EEO compliance, Stellantis North America. “We are deeply proud of what our team continues to achieve and highly motivated to continue raising the bar on our commitment to diversity and inclusion.”

Overall, this report helps to indicate companies that stand out in terms of their diversity, especially ones that have programs encouraging training, mentorship, leadership development and promotion for Latina women. This year’s report in particular was focused on Latina retention, promotion and recruitment, an increase in the number of Latina employees at the company, and veteran and military personnel programs.

“Stellantis continues to implement benchmark initiatives that develop the unique talents of our Latin community, from executive leadership programs with recognized schools, such as the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, to global mentorship programs and leadership coaching programs that provide our Latin community with the right connections and tools to succeed in the workplace,” said Cesar Hernandez-Urbina, head of purchasing mechatronics at Stellantis and the president of the Latins in Connection (LinC) business resource group, one of 11 employee-directed business resource groups at Stellantis. “We are extremely honored to be the automaker leading the development of Latin talent, and we recognize there is still work to do to promote the growth of our community.”

“Great efforts are taken to ensure that Latinas can find the best places to advance their careers,” said Robert E. Bard, president and CEO, LATINA Style. “As we’ve seen time and time again, enterprises that prioritize diversity and take concrete action outperform their competitors. Stellantis has exemplified the aforementioned characteristics.”

Stellantis will be officially recognized for making the 2023 Top 50 list at the annual event in Washington, D.C., taking place in May of 2024. The company’s Dare Forward 2030 business strategy incorporates diversity and equity as key pillars of future success, so receiving an honor such as this is a great indication that things are moving in the right direction!
