Pitney Bowes Inc.

Years ago, only a handful of companies took a serious look at diversity and made it a priority. Few companies incorporated diversity initiatives into their strategic planning process. Pitney Bowes was one of those that did and is now a leader in corporate diversity. Its work has not gone unnoticed. The company has been nationally recognized for its diversity programs, including being named to FORTUNE's "America's Best Companies for Minorities" list for four consecutive years.

One critical factor to the success of Pitney Bowes in the area of diversity is linking objectives to performance reviews and compensation. Pitney Bowes' functional staff groups and its business units submit annual diversity strategic plans. Each plan is evaluated for its impact on employees and the company, including the communities served and its business partners. The departments are then measured on results such as the hiring and promotion of women and minorities, as well as qualitative deliverables including employee development and retention.

Diversity works at Pitney Bowes because it is inherent in the way the company does business and is a core value. Pitney Bowes has a long-term commitment to address the needs of an increasingly diverse global marketplace, and the personal involvement of management of all levels. The company also recognizes the significance diversity plays in the new economy, and the impact it has on its bottom line. As the leading global provider of integrated mail, messaging and document management solutions, Pitney Bowes recognizes that this practice makes good business sense, now and in the future.
