TEKsystems Named to Seramount Inclusion Index for Fourth Consecutive Year

2024 Inclusion Index recognizes TEKsystems for their sustained dedication to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

(HANOVER, Md., Sept. 10, 2024) — TEKsystems, a global provider of technology, business and talent solutions for more than 80% of the Fortune 500, announced that they have been named to the 2024 Seramount Inclusion Index, which recognizes organizations with established diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) best practices to create inclusive workplaces.

Seramount released their eighth annual Inclusion Index, which creates a roadmap to drive internal change and identifies diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) solutions to close any gaps. Organizations provided data and were measured in three key areas: inclusive company culture; demographic diversity; and best practices in the recruitment, retention and advancement of people from underrepresented groups—women, racial/ethnic groups, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ people.

“Diversity, inclusion and equity practices help ensure all perspectives are represented so our people and business can flourish,” said Franklin Reed, executive director of global inclusion, diversity and equity at TEKsystems. “Our intentional dedication creates an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute. While we celebrate this milestone of four consecutive years, we remain focused on our ongoing journey to further enhance our culture of belonging to ensure that every voice is heard.”

This year, 160 organizations applied to participate in the 2024 Inclusion Index. TEKsystems was among 38 organizations recognized for creating an inclusive workplace, receiving a score of 60% or higher. Results reveal opportunities for all organizations to target their diversity and inclusion efforts for greater effectiveness.

“We take immense pride in the effectiveness of DEI best practices among our Inclusion Index organizations,” Katie Oertli Mooney, managing director of Seramount. “These organizations consistently raise the bar on building and sustaining inclusive workplaces with their unwavering commitment, even in the face of today’s DEI backlash.”

Key Findings From the 2024 Seramount Inclusion Index:

• Representation within leadership. Forty-one percent of corporate executives who report directly to the CEO are women (up from 38% last year), and 28% are people of color (up from 25% last year). This includes 11% Black / African American executives (up from 10% last year), 6% Hispanic/Latine executives (up from 5% last year), 10% Asian executives (up from 9% last year) and 2% of executives who are two or more races (up from 1% last year).
• Promotions. A higher percentage of promoted employees at Inclusion Index companies were women this year—57% compared with 54% last year. A higher percentage of promotions went to people of color as well—47% compared with 43% last year. This includes 15% Black / African American employees (up from 12% last year), 16% Hispanic/Latine employees (up from 14% last year), 11% Asian employees (down from 12% last year) and 4% of employees who are from other underrepresented racial/ethnic groups (same as last year).
• Employee resource group (ERG) leadership. More Inclusion Index companies are offering extra pay or incentives to ERG leaders—60% this year compared with 53% last year.
• Audited HR processes. Auditing HR processes to address implicit bias continues to be a best practice, with 93% of Inclusion Index companies auditing HR processes, up from 92% last year. Among these companies, more are auditing their onboarding process—78% this year compared with 66% last year.

This recognition includes TEKsystems and their subsidiaries, including TEKsystems Global Services and One North.
