MGM Resorts International Recognized for Creating an Inclusive Workplace

MGM Resorts International has been named a Pinnacle Inclusion Index Company in the 2024 Seramount Inclusion Index. Renowned as the preeminent organizational thought leaders to share best practices and develop innovative solutions for cultural change, Seramount’s recognition underscores MGM Resorts’ commitment to fostering an equitable and inclusive workplace across its operations.

MGM Resorts acquired BCW Member Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts (“Empire City”) in 2019 and the New York gaming destination has continued MGM Resorts’ commitment to diversity. More than seventy percent of Empire City’s workforce members identify as diverse, including fifty-five percent of those in leadership positions. Forty-four percent of the workforce are female.

“Our diversity is our greatest strength and something we’re incredibly proud of,” said Taryn Duffy, Vice President of Public Affairs at Empire City Casino by MGMResorts. “MGM Resorts is consistently recognized for being an employer of choice and adding this recognition to that list further demonstrates the company’s commitment to excellence.”   

Twenty-nine organizations were recognized this year as Pinnacle Inclusion Index Companies, with MGM Resorts achieving this ranking for the second year in a row. This highest-rated tier is awarded to organizations that excel in three key areas: effective practices in the recruitment, retention, and advancement of people from underrepresented groups; fostering an inclusive corporate culture including leadership accountability; and demographic workforce diversity.

“We are honored to be recognized for our commitment to cultivating an inclusive culture of belonging and opportunity at MGM Resorts,” said Chief People, Inclusion and Sustainability Officer Jyoti Chopra. “This designation highlights how deeply our core values are embedded in our approach to empowering and supporting our people.”

This year, 160 organizations applied to the 2024 Seramount Inclusion Index. The results provide metrics needed to understand trends and opportunities in demographic representation, create a road map to drive internal change and identify solutions to close any gaps.
