DALLAS, Jan. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For the sixth year in a row, AMN Healthcare has been named to the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for the company’s enduring commitment to gender equality and equity from the boardroom to the newest team members.

The Bloomberg GEI tracks top public companies’ support for gender equality; it’s an essential tool for companies to demonstrate their commitment and for investors to make strategic decisions on how they can invest in their communities and social justice.

“Gender equality is vital to the success of AMN Healthcare and the clients and clinicians we support every day; we know that it helps address longstanding social injustice while building stronger communities and a stronger company,” said AMN Healthcare CEO Cary Grace. “We are honored that Bloomberg GEI recognizes AMN’s commitment and consistently strong results around gender equity and inclusion.”

At AMN Healthcare, 69% of team members are women, including the CEO, Chief People Officer, Chief Legal Officer, Group President & COO of Strategic Talent Solutions, and Divisional and Brand Presidents. Fifty-six percent of the AMN Healthcare Board of Directors are women, which places AMN at the highest levels of Board diversity in the healthcare industry and in the top percentiles among publicly traded companies. In the Bloomberg GEI, AMN Healthcare scored particularly well in the percentage of women in the leadership and talent pipeline.

Gender equality and the AMN Healthcare commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion foster an innovative business strategy and inspire greater creativity and collaboration at all levels of the company. Diversity of viewpoints and life experiences are necessary to create the widest possible range of solutions and innovations to address significant challenges, especially in healthcare, where problems can be acute.

The Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index includes publicly traded companies that score above a performance threshold across five dimensions: female leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity, inclusive culture, anti-sexual harassment policies, and pro-women brand.
