Insight Rises 20 Spots on 2019 Fortune 100 Best Workplaces for Diversity
Insight Enterprises , the global integrator of Insight Intelligent Technology Solutions for organizations of all sizes, has been honored as one of the 2019 Fortune 100 Best Workplaces for Diversity, rising 20 spots on the annual ranking by Fortune and Great Place to Work of companies with highly regarded workplace cultures according to survey results by employees at Insight.
Insight rose to #70 on the list of Best Workplaces for Diversity, which is defined as organizations where underrepresented and historically discriminated against people experience their workplace as a great place to work for all and are represented at every level in the organization, including the board.
To determine the list, Great Place to Work through its Trust Index analyzes the experiences of women, under-represented races and ethnicities, LGBTQ+ individuals, employees who are Boomers or older, and people who have disabilities, comparing their survey results to their colleagues’ results at the same organizations. All told, these anonymous survey responses, covering more than 60 survey questions that reflect day-to-day workplace treatment, represented more than 4.8 million employees’ work lives.

“Our teammates are Insight’s greatest strength alongside our intelligent technology solutions. We champion people, leadership and culture because investing in our teammates and living by our values enhances everything we do for our clients,” said Ken Lamneck, president and CEO, Insight. “Making the Fortune 100 diversity list once again punctuates how we have created a workplace that attracts top talent. Bright minds from all walks of life lead to new ideas, better service and smarter solutions for our clients, allowing businesses to truly maximize the value of IT.”

“Building great workplaces for all is not only the right thing to do, it’s also a critical way leaders build business value,” said Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “In our study of nearly 2,000 companies, we found that key metrics related to equity and inclusion not only drive stronger company innovation but also predict whether companies will thrive or stumble during a recession.”
Last year, Insight ranked #90 on the Best Workplaces for Diversity list, which is one of a series of rankings by Fortune and Great Place to Work based on anonymous employee feedback from Great Place to Work-Certified organizations. Insight also ranks #23 as a 2019 Fortune Best Workplace in Technology.
“Being an employer of choice means being regarded as a place where everyone has the opportunity to be heard and to grow as professionals,” said Jen Vasin, senior vice president, human resources, Insight. “In this regard, we think of each of our teammates as leaders who possess the ability to turn the greatest challenges into meaningful outcomes for our clients and each other. Establishing a culture of collaboration and creativity at Insight is a journey rather than a destination, and we’re always looking to improve our workplace in these areas.”
