Northern Trust has been named a 2008 LATINA Style 50 company for the second year in a row by LATINA Style Magazine.
The corporate evaluation program recognizes companies with diversity initiatives and a commitment to advancing the careers of professional Hispanic women.
A comprehensive survey was sent to Fortune 1000 companies, and over 800 companies were evaluated by the LATINA Style staff and an external committee.

– Diversity and inclusion efforts are singularly focused on creating an environment where all employees feel valued and empowered to contribute.
– The global mentoring program deepens employee engagement and fosters numerous paths to personal and professional development.
– Northern Trust is committed to a work environment which supports creative and flexible work schedules.
– Northern Trust’s Latin Heritage Leadership Council plays a vital role in recruiting and retaining top talent and consulting on key business issues throughout the organization.
“It is a tremendous honor for Northern Trust to be ranked among LATINA Style’s 50 best companies,” says Mark David Welch, director of Global Diversity, Northern Trust.
