UScellular Named to Forbes List of Best Employers for Diversity 2022
CHICAGO (May 2, 2022)– UScellular, for the third year in a row, has been named to the Forbes list of Best Employers for Diversity. This prestigious award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list can be viewed on the Forbes website.
“Workplace diversity is more important than ever at UScellular as consumers and job seekers look to do business with organizations that have a long-standing commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion,” said Deirdre Drake, executive vice president and chief people officer for UScellular. “A diverse workforce is one of the foundational values of our strong culture.

The Best Employers for Diversity were selected based on Statista's innovative methodology, guaranteeing unbiased results and providing reliable insights. Over 60,000 U.S. employees were surveyed in companies with a minimum of 1,000 employees to identify The Best Employers for Diversity.
The evaluation was based on four different criteria:
· Direct recommendations: Employees were asked to give their opinions on a series of statements regarding Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Disability, LGBTQA+ & General Diversity in their current workplace. The recommendations of women, elders, and ethnic minorities were weighted higher than the non-minority groups.
· Indirect Recommendations: Participants were also given the chance to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stand out either positively or negatively with regard to diversity. Only the recommendations of minority groups were considered.
· Diversity Among Top Executives/Board and Diversity Engagement Indicators were also part of the evaluation.
