Madison Ave. Charts Some Progress in Meeting Diversity Hiring Goals
AN initial report card on efforts to diversify the long-homogeneous upper ranks of Madison Avenue shows some improvement, but much more left to be done. According to a summary provided on April 15 by the New York City Human Rights Commission, the 15 agencies that agreed to be monitored for three years on their minority hiring practices met 24 of the 30 goals they set for themselves in 2007 which were expressed in terms of percentages of new hires who were black, Hispanic or Asian-American.
