Diversity
Message from Mark Mays, Chief Executive Officer, Clear Channel Communications
At Clear Channel, everyone can make a difference, from the new employee to the most senior employee. We believe a commitment to diversity is a key to unlocking every person’s greatest potential. Our diversity is one of our greatest strengths and is an important component for the successful integration of our various divisions. Diversity is an integral part of our strategy for competing successfully in the marketplace of today and tomorrow.
Further, Lowry Mays, Founder, Clear Channel Communications said it best:
“The Clear Channel workforce is creative, vibrant and very individual. To say we are ‘diverse’ is an understatement. We have come from an amazing variety of personal backgrounds, corporate culture, and business perspectives… To reach our dreams, we must make allowances for each other, and we must be open to change and accommodation. Our differences can be our greatest strength-if we let them.”
Today, we are a diverse community of highly motivated and talented professionals. A major component of our diversity initiative is to draw upon our unique backgrounds and experiences to develop better solutions, faster results and a remarkable vision for the future. And this vision is much more than talk. Leadership from the very top consistently demonstrates the commitment to diversity.
Our commitment to build a workforce as broad and diversified as our customer base isn’t an option. For us this is a business imperative as fundamental as delivering clear communication. And to ensure that these talented people can contribute at the highest possible level, we insist on a workplace that is free of discrimination and harassment.
Our commitment to diversity reaches to the highest levels within this company. I am proud of the steps that we have made. However, I look forward with great anticipation of what we will accomplish in the future.
Letter from Human Resources
At Clear Channel we value diversity as a cornerstone of our business – our people, and how we utilize our differences to embrace diversity as a business strategy.
Workforce diversity, when defined as inclusion, drives a commitment to embrace our differences while creating workable solutions for our clients. We embrace those differences and consider our differences to be one of our greatest strengths. Inclusion and workforce diversity are terms used to describe a business strategy. However, at Clear Channel they are much more than that - inclusion is about letting people in, and eliminating barriers that would keep people out. Inclusion is about people working together, creating solutions for our advertisers across our multi-media assets of Radio, Outdoor, and Television. In other words, Clear Channel is about you.
Our ZERO TOLERANCE policy that prohibits discrimination extends beyond our employees, into each and every market in which we conduct business. We operate openly within a corporate culture that allows each and every Clear Channel employee the opportunity to excel. Are you ready to join our team?
