Asurion, the global leader in helping people connect, protect and enjoy their tech, has been named a 2020 DiversityInc Noteworthy Company in recognition of its rising leadership in fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace culture. It is the second consecutive year Asurion has been honored with the distinction. For the first time, Asurion was also named a Top Company for Employee Resource Groups.
The DiversityInc Top 50 list, issued yearly since 2001, recognizes the nation’s top companies for diversity and inclusion management. These companies excel in such areas as hiring, retaining and promoting women, minorities, people with disabilities, LGBTQ and veterans.
“Asurion embraces the uniqueness of our employees, recognizing their diverse backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. Our inclusive culture allows employees to bring their full selves to work every day,” said Nikki Smith-Bartley, VP, Chief Diversity & Talent Strategy Officer at Asurion. “We are honored to have DiversityInc once again recognize us as a rising leader in diversity.”

- Talent programs focused on attracting and developing a diverse pipeline.
- Ten Employee Resource Groups with nearly 6,000 members across over 70 global chapters that help employees across the company to better understand and appreciate colleagues with different backgrounds and experiences.
- Multiple courses on unconscious bias and inclusive leadership including a one-hour training and an in-depth training available for all employees and leadership.
- Education sessions, called Active Ally, for employees, which teach inclusive language and help employees navigate scenarios that could pop up at work.
- Inclusive programs and policies for expectant and new mothers and our LGBT employees.
- #BeBold events that provide opportunities for all team members to come together to discuss inclusion-related topics and get comfortable with uncomfortable conversations.
