CHICAGO, Jan. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- JLL (NYSE: JLL) has been named by Forbes as one of America's Best Employers for Diversity. The annual ranking examines C-suite and board diversity as well as employer diversity policies.

To create the ranking, Forbes and research firm Statista surveyed 50,000 U.S. employees in companies that have at least 1,000 employees. Survey questions focused on diversity with respect to gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age and ability. Other components of the ranking included gender diversity among top executives and the board of directors, and the company's proactive communication about diversity.

"Our ambition is to nurture a culture where diverse backgrounds, skills and ideas are embraced," said Mary Bilbrey, Chief Human Resources Officer, Americas. "We're honored to be recognized by Forbes as one of America's Best Employers for Diversity and are committed to continually strengthening our culture of diversity."

Earlier this month, JLL named Monica Marquez as the company's new Head of Diversity & Inclusion. Prior to JLL, she held diversity roles at Google, Ernst & Young, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs.

"JLL succeeds through inclusion, and the company has been recognized within and beyond its industry for its policies in this area," Marquez said. "As part of my role with the firm, I'm excited to build upon the company's achievements and to continue developing and engaging JLL talent."
