Month: August 2023

August 3, 2023 /3BL/ – Today Bath & Body Works announces its inclusion on Forbes’ list of America’s Best Employers for Women.

“We’re honored to be recognized as one of the best employers in America for women,” says Kelie Charles, Bath & Body Works Chief Diversity Officer. “We know that diversity, equity and inclusion make us stronger, and we strive to ensure everyone is included and has equitable access and opportunity.”

The publication partnered with market research firm Statista to create their annual list. To determine the rankings, Statista surveyed more than 60,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees. The sample included more than 40,000 women.

Participants were asked to anonymously rate their organizations based on criteria such as working conditions, salary and wage, workplace and diversity regarding their employer.

Women respondents were specifically asked to rate their employers’ approach to parental leave, family support, flexibility, discrimination, representation and career, and pay equity. Representation at the executive and board levels were also factored into the final score.

The final list ranks the 400 employers that both received the most recommendations and boast the most gender-diverse boards and executive ranks.

In addition to making Forbes’ list of America’s Best Employers for Women, Bath & Body Works recently has been recognized in several other ways including:

TCS is proud to partner with the nonprofit Sakhikamva Foundation for the August Go Innovate Together (goIT) Monthly Challenge. This month’s challenge is aligned with the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.

Throughout the month, TCS and the Sakhikamva Foundation invite whole classrooms, small groups and individual students aged 6-18 to express their ideas and flex their creativity. Specifically, the goIT Monthly Challenge for August asks them to create and present concepts for digital solutions focused on promoting access to clean water and sanitation for all. Students will consider the global issue at hand and then submit a three-minute video entry before July 31. All entries will be judged by TCS employee volunteers and supporters from the TCS community following the contest’s end-of-the-month close. Entrants will receive beneficial feedback and winners may receive mentoring and other recognitions. All winning goIT Monthly Challenge innovations are also submitted into TCS’ global goIT Innovator of the Year competition which takes place late next winter.

goIT is TCS’ digital innovation and career readiness program serving students with inspiration, innovation opportunities, preparedness skills and more. Sakhikamva Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to building a positive future for today’s youth in South Africa as well as throughout the world.

Access to clean water and sanitation benefits everyone through improved health care, better nutrition and increased economic development. The team looks forward to receiving student entries and to inspiring youth to make a difference for many generations ahead.
