About the LATINA Style 50

The LATINA Style 50 is a comprehensive annual study of the fifty best companies for Latinas to work for in the United States, is the most respected evaluation of corporate America’s policies and practices as they relate to Latinas in this country. As we mark the 24th anniversary of our LATINA Style 50 Report, we are proud of the time and effort it takes to assess what is important for Latinas in the workplace and which companies offer the best opportunities for personal and professional development. The LATINA Style 50 report has become the most prestigious analysis of corporate America’s efforts to promote diversity and provide career advancement opportunities for Hispanic women, focusing on America’s diversity initiatives and commitment to the careers of professional Hispanic women.
