with opportunities for all

VIEJO, Calif., May 22, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- UST, a leading digital transformation
solutions company, is proud to announce that it has been recognized
as one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2024
by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group, receiving five
out of five stars on the ranking scale. Of the 54 large-size
technology services companies recognized by Newsweek, UST was one
of just 16 companies to receive a perfect five-star rating.
The list by Newsweek was compiled using an evaluation
program that included a thorough examination of publicly available
data, interviews with HR professionals, a survey of over 220,000
U.S.-based workers, and more than 1.5 million company reviews. The
ranking considered key factors such as work-life balance,
compensation and benefits, training and career progression,
sustainability and awareness, corporate culture, and proactive
management of a diverse workforce.
This award shines a light on UST's people-focused approach and
inclusive workplace culture, which allow all employees to succeed,
advance, and grow. UST has consistently worked to extend
opportunities to women worldwide, and its portion of female
employees in the United States
(44%) is higher than the industry average. To build an open
workplace for women, UST has executed several successful DEI
initiatives, such as Win IT, a global mentoring and
sponsorship program for female employees. Over 4000 women have
taken part in the program and 40% of the participants have been
promoted to higher roles within UST. Other gender equality programs
include participation in the Tech We Can
Champions program, which provides STEM ambassador training
to female employees so that they can introduce technology to
schoolchildren. UST also hosts Women Unlimited, a platform
for female employees to connect with role models, receive career
advice, and improve their skills.
UST Step IT Up has provided free training and job
opportunities to over 1000 minorities, women, and veterans in the
US alone. Furthermore, UST launched the Impact India program to provide career paths
for talented individuals from the differently abled community. In
addition, UST Circle is a DEI-oriented speaker series
that provides valuable insights for UST employees. UST also
runs inclusivity initiatives through employee resource groups such
as NowU for women associates and Curved Colors for
LGBTQIA+ associates and allies.
"We are extremely proud of this prestigious recognition from
Newsweek and Plant-A Insights. We remain committed to investing in
our people and fostering an open workplace culture that prioritizes
equity, inclusion, and diversity while empowering all team members
to achieve their potential. UST has always been guided by our
values, and we seek to transform lives by building collaborative
relationships based on trust and mutual respect," said Anu
Koshy, Head of Inclusion and Diversity, UST.
"Diversity is a widely discussed topic – and it remains a
crucial factor as people look for an employer or a business
partner. Newsweek and market-data research firm Plant-A Insights
are proud to introduce 'America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity
2024', highlighting companies that are committed to offering
diverse and inclusive work environment," said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief,
Newsweek.
This latest recognition further establishes the California, US-headquartered company as a
trusted global organization with a strong culture that successfully
attracts and retains top talent. UST's efforts to prioritize
diversity have also earned recognition across ten competitive human
resources categories and Gold for its DEI efforts from the
Brandon Hall Group awards. In addition to its commitment to
diversity, UST has been awarded Great Place to Work certifications
in the United
Kingdom, Spain,
the United
States, Mexico, India, and Malaysia.
