 How does The McGraw-Hill Companies define diversity?
The McGraw-Hill Companies defines diversity in the workplace as an inclusive environment that respects and values each individual, their experience, perspective and contribution to the Corporation.
What is your policy on hiring for diversity?
The McGraw-Hill Companies is committed to the principles of equal employment opportunity for all employees and applicants for employment. Advancement opportunities and employment decisions will be made without regard to race, religion, sex, color, citizenship status, sexual orientation, age, disability, marital status, national origin, veteran status or any other characteristic protected under federal, state or local law.
However, the Corporation’s commitment to diversity extends beyond equal employment opportunity obligations; it is a value that is imperative to our business success. As global competition increases, we are committed to creating products and services that exceed our customer’s expectations and employing a diverse talent pool that understands and can meet those needs.
In addition, we sponsor and recruit prospective employees at national diversity recruiting events such as the National Black MBA Association, the National Society of Hispanic MBAs and the National Journalist Associations. Our sponsorship includes national print advertising and job fair participation with these associations. We also sponsor various programs that attract and cultivate talented minority students to our Corporation.
How can employees participate in diversity and inclusion initiatives at The McGraw-Hill Companies?
Our approach to diversity and inclusion starts with our senior management team. Each year, chief executive officer Harold McGraw III holds 13 forums with employees from diverse backgrounds and perspectives to gauge their views on our employee and business strategies. The Corporation reports annually on its diversity progress to The McGraw-Hill Companies’ senior management team and Board of Directors.
The grass-roots driven Employee Resource Groups are formed around a shared set of interests, experiences and perspectives such as diversity characteristics that address race, gender, age, sexual orientation, or parental status. ERGs support employees by providing a powerful means to enhance professional development, such as mentoring, training and networking opportunities, through formal group meetings and event-based activities.
In addition to ERGs, local Diversity Councils help support a culture of diversity and inclusion. The groups are integral to growing and sustaining diversity, inclusion and work/life as a business imperative to the organization, in that each group serves as a structured connection between group members and The McGraw-Hill Companies' leadership.
Through programs, such as our Lunch and Learn workshops and diversity recognition events, the Corporation provides employees with a forum to recognize national observances, such as Women’s History Month, Black History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month and National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

How does The McGraw-Hill Companies demonstrate its commitment to the diverse external community?
Through its Community Partners program, the Corporation serves customers, employees and shareholders alike, reaching across the globe to help people around the world learn, grow, acquire new skills, better their lives and better their communities. The Corporation also supports national Diversity Recognition awards programs such as the Harlem YMCA Black Achievers in Industry, The YWCA Salute to Women Leaders, and the National Hispanic Corporate Achievers, which serve to recognize diverse employees for their performance, professionalism, leadership and community service.
