Engineering Magazine names ONR a 'Best Diversity Company'

July 11th, 2012
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) was named a "best diversity company" for a fifth consecutive year by a prominent engineering and information technology professional careers publication, officials announced July 11.

Diversity/Careers in Engineering & Information Technology magazine recognized ONR for its continued commitment to promoting workplace diversity, honoring the organization in its sixth annual readers' choice survey, Best Companies for Diversity.

"We're always looking for the best and brightest to fill our talent pool here at ONR," said Margaret Mitchell, director of civilian personnel programs. "The continuing recognition from Diversity/Careers is key because the magazine reaches out and touches a broad audience for every type of expertise we're looking for."

The bimonthly publication sponsors an annual survey that asks its readers to identify the nation's top organizations and government agencies that support minorities and women, promote supplier diversity and focus attention upon employee work-life balance. ONR has been a top diversity leader in the government and military category for five years running.
