Many employers are fostering environments that include people from a wide spectrum of backgrounds, age groups, races, genders and sexual orientations. This commitment to diversity is good for business. Research suggests nearly 80 percent of U.S. workers believe it's important for companies to foster an inclusive culture.
Diversity also plays a crucial role in attracting and retaining talent as people, particularly younger generations, look to join and stay at companies where they feel seen and valued. However, as diversity becomes a buzzword, it can be challenging for job seekers, customers, employees and potential business partners to distinguish which companies truly walk the talk.
Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group are proud to present America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2025. This ranking recognizes companies that respect and value diversity, as reflected in the feedback from their employees and our rigorous research methodology. Our evaluation combines public data, insights from HR professionals and responses from an anonymous survey of a diverse employee pool across U.S.-based companies. The companies on our list represent a range of industries. From finance giants like Jack Henry & Associates to health care leaders like Centene, these are companies committed to building inclusive workplaces. We hope this list serves as a valuable guide to workplaces that truly champion diversity in all its forms. Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in ChiefMETHODOLOGY

Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie
PARIS HILTON AND NICOLE RICHIE ARE READY TO BRING A LITTLE “SANASA” to the world with Peacock's Paris & Nicole: The Encore, their first project together since their reality show The Simple Life ended in 2007. What's “sanasa”? It's a song and phrase the longtime friends created as kids and popularized on The Simple Life. The show, a cultural phenomenon in the early days of reality TV, followed them over a series of blue-collar jobs. Now they're bringing it back as an opera. “I know this is just going to make people laugh, have fun, be nostalgic and just celebrate our friendship,” Hilton said. While Richie acknowledged “you can't do Simple Life again,” she said now “felt like the right time.” The famous pair also revisit some old jobs in Arkansas, like fast-food chain Sonic, where they now have drinks named for them. “I think that there is a part of our friend- ship that the show ended up showing that people connect to,” Richie said. As for this new special, Hilton is glad to do something positive for their fans. “It's been such a crazy past couple years, and I just feel like the world needs more joy.”
