Bath & Body Works Named One of 'America's Best Employers for Women’ by Forbes
August 3, 2023 /3BL/ - Today Bath & Body Works announces its inclusion on Forbes’ list of America's Best Employers for Women.
“We’re honored to be recognized as one of the best employers in America for women,” says Kelie Charles, Bath & Body Works Chief Diversity Officer. “We know that diversity, equity and inclusion make us stronger, and we strive to ensure everyone is included and has equitable access and opportunity.”
The publication partnered with market research firm Statista to create their annual list. To determine the rankings, Statista surveyed more than 60,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees. The sample included more than 40,000 women.
Participants were asked to anonymously rate their organizations based on criteria such as working conditions, salary and wage, workplace and diversity regarding their employer.
Women respondents were specifically asked to rate their employers’ approach to parental leave, family support, flexibility, discrimination, representation and career, and pay equity. Representation at the executive and board levels were also factored into the final score.
The final list ranks the 400 employers that both received the most recommendations and boast the most gender-diverse boards and executive ranks.
In addition to making Forbes’ list of America's Best Employers for Women, Bath & Body Works recently has been recognized in several other ways including:
- America’s Best Workplaces for Women by Newsweek
- America’s Greatest Workplaces for LGBTQ+ individuals by Newsweek
