Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) may seem like a contemporary initiative, but its roots extend back to the 1960s. While DE&I is an integral part of organizational success today, the path from then to now has been a long and winding one.

Take the Latinx community, for example. In a revealing 2002 interview, Ricardo Montalban said that as a Mexican actor, he never had the luxury of getting 10, five or even two scripts at a time. He got one, and he could take it or leave it.

Montalban's experiences mirror the US workforce surprisingly accurately. Decades ago, job opportunities for individuals with diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds were limited. What's changed since then? A little - and a lot.

Today's Hollywood understands the value Latinx actors bring to their productions, and are casting Latinx actors vs. white actors in their appropriate roles, when they're available. Today's companies also understand the value talent from Latinx professionals brings to their workplace environments; however, listing available jobs intended to reach beyond a predominantly white American population can be a challenge.

If targeting a diverse Latinx talent pool has been a challenge for your company, the WorkplaceDiversity job board can help.

Forward-thinking companies in Houston looking to attract top talent from the Latinx community will find their one-stop solution at the WorkplaceDiversity job board. The platform attracts job seekers from varying backgrounds who are in the market for a career with a company that prioritizes a rich and diverse environment.

Recognizing that Houston is home to the third largest Latinx community in the US, WorkplaceDiversity’s job board can help you strategically target and connect with a diverse pool of Latinx talent, supporting your commitment to DE&I initiatives and enriching your workplace environment.

Here's what a company representative had to say:

“First, let’s clarify the term ‘Latinx’. Latinx is a gender-neutral alternative to Latino and Latina that includes people from all Latin American and Hispanic backgrounds, including those who identify as belonging to the LGBTQ2S+ community. People of Latinx ethnicity make up close to 20% of the workforce, yet less than 5% hold executive positions. We’re helping companies close this gap.”

WorkplaceDiversity is a platform that connects people of varying backgrounds and ethnicities to career opportunities with companies like yours that recognize the power a diverse environment brings to today’s globalized and interconnected commercial landscape.

A recent article in Forbes magazine underscores this benefit, noting Latin America is becoming a leading supplier of tech talent for North American companies, with 156% more businesses seeking to hire talent from that region. WorkplaceDiversity is here to help you access untapped talent within Houston's Latinx community, a resource you should be leveraging if gaining the competitive advantage in your sector, and promoting a positive company image are things you believe deserve more attention.
