Join Asia Society for a briefing on the results of the 2016 Asian Pacific Americans Corporate Survey. The survey is a national benchmarking study aimed to fill a critical knowledge gap relating to the growth, development and advancement of Asian Pacific American (APA) employees. It encompasses a range of Fortune 500 industry sectors. Its results help to identify which companies are perceived as best at successfully attracting, developing and retaining APA talent and to highlight best corporate practices. Over 3,300 APA employees participated in the 2016 survey.
At the briefing, the winners of the 2016 Best Asian Pacific American Employer Awards will also be announced. Now in their eighth year, the awards honor employers at the forefront of promoting and developing APA talent.
