Mohegan announced that it has appeared on Newsweek’s America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity list for 2024. This distinction cements Mohegan as a leader when it comes to fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion, the company said.

According to the casino and hospitality giant, this accolade attests to its ongoing commitment to creating a healthy workplace that appreciates the benefits of diversity.

Newsweek, for reference, is the modern global digital news organization built around the iconic American magazine. Its selection process for the America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity list includes a comprehensive evaluation process that combines employee feedback with an in-depth analysis of companies’ practices.

Newsweek leverages a complex methodology to make sure it properly evaluates how effective companies are in promoting and maintaining diversity. The highest-scoring companies are then categorized into 78 industries.

The complete list is available on Newsweek’s official website.

Diversity Is More than a Buzzword, Mohegan Says

Mohegan believes that diversity is more than just a buzzword and treats it as a “critical component of business success.” The company pointed out that all companies appearing on the America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity list are recognized for their genuine respect and value for individuals from different walks of life.

Mohegan prides itself on its proactive approach when it comes to diversifying its workforce and implementing its appreciation of diversity in its business practices, customer relations and community engagement. Its diverse teams, Mohegan says, are not only a commitment but a strategic asset that bolsters the company’s competitiveness.

Ray Pineault, Mohegan’s president and chief executive officer, elaborated on this, saying that a diverse workforce is the key to “fostering creativity, innovation and a dynamic environment where new ideas thrive.” Pineault added that his team is delighted to appear on Newsweek’s list.

We are immensely proud of this recognition, and being named to this prestigious list reflects our ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion and underscores the success of our efforts to integrate diversity at every level of our operations.

Mohegan, the internationally recognized gaming and hospitality brand of the tribe from Connecticut, received another global recognition by entering Newsweek’s Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces list.

Creating a Culture of Value, Support and Empowerment

Mohegan ranked 85^th in the 2023 Global Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces list prepared by Newsweek in collaboration with leadership development and benchmark research company, Best Practice Institute (BPI).

Mohegan’s chief people officer, Patricia Smith, commented on the news, thrilled to see Mohegan being “recognized as one of the most loved workplaces,” outlining the company’s priority of “creating a culture where team members feel valued, supported and empowered to contribute” to its mission.

“This recognition is a testament to our entire team’s hard work, dedication and commitment,” Smith added, using the occasion to announce that Mohegan plans to recruit an additional 2,000 team members for its Inspire Entertainment Resort in Korea.

The annual rankings list is prepared after surveying more than 2 million team members across businesses with a workforce from 30 to more than 10,000 members, recognizing those businesses which prioritize respect, caring and appreciation for their employees, and have earned the loyalty and respect of the people working for them.

Areas for Critical Assessment

The assessment measures team member sentiment across five critical areas: how workers feel about their future at the company, their career achievement, the level of employer-employee value alignment, respect at all levels, and collaboration at the workplace. Areas such as inclusion, diversity, equity, and company leadership were analyzed in relation to the five critical areas.

Hailing the “exciting result,” Mohegan’s president and chief executive officer, Ray Pineault, pointed out that this was the second major recognition for the business following its ranking among the Top 100 US Companies in 2022 and a testament to the company’s commitment “to fostering a positive and supportive workplace culture.”

“Guided by the Spirit of Aquai, which represents our way of being welcoming, cooperative, building relationships, and having mutual respect for others, we strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to do their best work,” he said.

Pineault concluded his comments by personally attesting as a member of the team for more than 20 years that the recognition received by the business would further strengthen the company’s “commitment to fostering a culture of excellence and innovation.”

‘Opportunities for Voices to Be Heard’

Mohegan employees highlighted that the firm offers “opportunities for voices to be heard by conducting team member engagement surveys, staff meetings, town halls and regular team member updates as well as Kaizen events and breakfast with the president.”

In terms of career advancement, Mohegan “offers transfer and promotion opportunities, stretch assignments, tuition reimbursement, in-house training programs, and off-site seminars to support employees in making career choices compatible with one’s unique skills, knowledge, personality and interests.”

Fellow US and international gaming and hospitality operator, Wynn Resorts, also entered the 2023 Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces, ranking 99^th.
