The following article describes why Chrysler has earned diversity recognition.
When Sergio Marchionne, president and CEO of the Chrysler Group, took on the role of executive sponsor of the automaker’s Global Diversity Council, it sent a clear message that Chrysler’s commitment to a diverse work force began right at the top. As Marchionne explained, “Culture is the fabric that holds organizations together. It is not just an ingredient for success; it is the essence of success itself. This is why my leadership team and I are committed to creating an atmosphere where all of our people feel respected and valued, because every person plays an important role in shaping our future.”
Fred Diaz, president and CEO of the Chrysler Group’s Ram brand, was recently named to the annual HispanicBusiness Corporate Elite list, a roster of the 25 most influential, engaged and dynamic Hispanic business leaders in America. Chosen each year by the editors of HispanicBusiness magazine, the list is limited to those who have made “a significant professional accomplishment in their field and demonstrated dedication to the advancement of the Hispanic community.”
The very same week, Tyree Minner, who oversees the automaker’s Sterling Heights (Mich.) Assembly Pant—which produces the 2011 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger—received the prestigious 2011 Black Engineer of the Year President’s Award from U.S. Black Engineer & Information Technologymagazine.
