At Emmis, diversity is about driving our business - we are interested in creating a diverse workforce and an inclusive environment that will yield the best business results by having everyone and their ideas at the table.
To this end...
Emmis’ Diversity Mission is to create an environment of fairness and equality that appeals to our employees and the extraordinary people in our marketplaces.
Emmis’ Diversity Vision is to create the passion and structure to lead Emmis in reflecting the diverse audience and customer base we serve.
Emmis’ Diversity Goals are:
- Attract and retain outstanding diversity candidates
- Develop each employee’s talent and skill to the fullest potential
- Ensure our diverse workforce is reflected at all levels of our company
“The Emmis culture leads us to do things differently from other companies. Most people think diversity is only about attracting minority applicants, but Emmis goes deeper than that. We want to hire passionate, energetic people who represent our diverse audiences. We want to bring on board employees with an outside-the-box mindset. And just as importantly, we want to bring out the full potential of existing staffers.
Emmis wins because we think differently, and this different diversity philosophy is important to the current and future success of the company. By being successful and competitive in each of our markets, we’ll demonstrate the power of a diverse workforce.”
