General Motors Named One of the Latina Style 50 Best Companies for Latinas

General Motors was recognized this week as one of the “50 Best Companies for Latinas to Work For” in the annual Latina Style 50 Report, evaluated by Latina Style Magazine.

"We are proud to be acknowledged as one of Latina Style's top 50 companies," said Ken Barrett, General Motors' Chief Diversity Officer. "Being the best, means attracting the best talent --- GM's focus on building a 'Workplace of Choice' where all members of teamGM are valued is essential as we grow our business.  Empowering our workforce to infuse new ideas and perspectives is critical as we design, build and sell the world's best vehicles."

This recognition speaks to GM’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, which involves the ongoing support and encouragement of education, economic empowerment, and business opportunities.
