Workplace Diversity Achievement Award NEW YORK, Sept. 29
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DaimlerChrysler's Diversity Department
was recognized today with the American Advertising Federation's
(AAF) prestigious Mosaic Award for making significant strides
towards a diverse workplace. "We appreciate this coveted honor from
the American Advertising Federation," said Monica Emerson,
DaimlerChrysler Executive Director of Corporate Diversity.
"DaimlerChrysler realizes success is a function of inclusiveness.
We strive to include and empower diverse people and partners to
design and build great products that meet the needs of a diverse
customer base." The Mosaic Awards celebrate individuals and
companies that have implemented programs which reinforce the AAF's
goals of increasing the representation of people of color
throughout the ranks of business, helping companies achieve growth
by leveraging multicultural and targeted ethnic marketing
communications, and promoting fair competition. In selecting the
honorees, AAF evaluated diversity programs and the level of
multiculturalism found throughout the companies' collective
outreach efforts. As one of the largest automakers in the world,
DaimlerChrysler is committed to fostering diversity practices. The
Company has established six employee resource groups that focus on
helping employees develop their potential, while inspiring and
nurturing careers and professional development. DaimlerChrysler's
diversity initiatives have been recognized by several leading
organizations, including being named one of Working Mother
magazine's "100 best Companies" eight times. The Company has also
been honored as "Corporation of the Year" by the Minority Supplier
Development Council three times and by the Michigan Minority
Business Development Council five times. LATINA Style Magazine
