Diversity

For The McGraw-Hill Companies, diversity is much more than equal opportunity employment. It is a core value reflected in our leadership's commitment to an inclusive workplace that values each individual and enables them to reach their full potential.

In an increasingly global marketplace, the diverse characteristics, perspectives, ideas and backgrounds that our employees bring to the workplace give us a vital competitive edge in anticipating and exceeding our customers' needs.

Currently, women and people of color represent more than 60 percent of The McGraw-Hill Companies' U.S. employee population.

The high value that we place on diversity is critical to attracting and retaining the best talent, creating an engaged workforce, meeting the requirements of our customers worldwide and delivering outstanding value to our shareholders. Our goal is to be an employer of choice and a diversity leader and we measure our success by the engagement of our employees, the satisfaction of our customers and shareholders, and our relationships with the communities in which we work.

Through grassroots-driven Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and business-focused Diversity Councils, we recognize and support diversity in the workplace. The Hispanic Heritage Network (HHN), Women's Initiative for Networking and Success (WINS), Black Employees at McGraw-Hill (BEAM), and the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) Employee Resource Group enable employees to connect and discuss a shared set of interests, experiences and perspectives. ERGs have also been vital in fostering a mentoring culture throughout The McGraw-Hill.

Our Diversity Councils provide a structured connection through which to address diversity-related issues affecting our individual business units or The McGraw-Hill Companies as a whole. Through these groups, we bridge the workplace to the marketplace by celebrating our cultural differences and understanding how those differences impact our ability to exceed our customers' needs.
