The MGM MIRAGE corporate web site has
been ranked among the leading corporate Internet sites for its diversity
content by Diversity Best Practices and The Business Women’s Network.The ranking follows an in-depth review by the University of Maryland’s QUEST
Honor Student Program in which 500 corporate web sites representing
38 industries were evaluated.  Listed among the “Top 50” corporate web sites,
MGM MIRAGE is the highest ranking gaming company on the list.
  According to Lynn Gardner, DBP Vice President, the presentation of
diversity information on a corporate web site is a competitive business
advantage.  In addition to being an indicator of corporate culture, these
sites are often key portals to job seekers, investors, customers and
employees, she said.
  “Congratulations must be extended to MGM MIRAGE for their excellence in
promoting diversity and inclusion on their superior rated web site.  This is
an outstanding accomplishment that signifies the importance this company
places on valuing and reaching out to all segments of the population,” said
Gardner.
  Reviewers assigned one point each to 43 different criteria to determine
the leading corporate sites.  These criteria evaluated whether the sites
featured a CEO statement on diversity, a mission statement on diversity,
diversity program infrastructure, access to annual diversity reports and
diversity awards.  The research was sponsored by Monster.com.
  The MGM MIRAGE web site was noted for its colorful and vibrant photographs
and easy navigation, especially its link to http://www.mgmmiragediversity.com where
visitors can access comprehensive information about the company’s diversity
initiative.  The site also enables browsers to register in the company’s
construction and supplier databases and obtain information about upcoming
business opportunities.
