PINK's Top Companies for Women

When it comes to advancing women, companies on our exclusive roster demand results, not rhetoric. How does your employer measure up?

PINK and KPMG, the U.S. audit, tax and advisory firm, announce PINK's Top Companies for Women: American Express Co., Heller Ehrman LLP, Kelly Services, Aflac Inc., FedEx Services, Grant Thornton LLP, Turner Broadcasting System Inc. and Wachovia Corp. "Our list is different from other lists because we focus on numbers: pay, P&L positions and pipelines for women," says Cynthia Good, PINK's founding editor.

After a comprehensive application and evaluation process involving many of America's finest companies, PINK recognized these eight finalists for their strong focus on the Four P's: Power (women in board seats and C-suites, and those with P&L responsibility); Pipeline (leadership training, mentoring and coaching programs to retain talented women and move them up the ranks); Pay (evidence of pay equity, including the number of women in the top 20 percent of company salaries); and People (a work culture that allows women to have a beautiful career and a beautiful life).
