The Seramount 2023 [Global Inclusion Index](https://seramount.com/best-companies/2023-global-inclusion-index-organizations/) honored Otis in Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, France, Mexico and Singapore, where Otis was among two to five companies named in each country. Otis UK was one of nine companies honored there. A separate 2023 [Seramount Inclusion Index](https://seramount.com/best-companies/2023-inclusion-index-organizations/), focused on the U.S., recognized Otis among 42 companies based on data submitted though an extensive application process. “At Otis, we strive to create a workplace that reflects the communities where we live and work,” said Executive VP and Chief People Officer Abbe Luersman. “This international recognition from Seramount validates our work to foster an inclusive culture with the diversity required to innovate and continue to lead our industry. We believe that we can only be at our best when our colleagues are at their best – and when all voices feel safe, welcomed and heard.” The Global Inclusion Index assessed corporate efforts in 24 countries focused on creating inclusive cultures, hiring and promoting women, measuring other underrepresented groups on a country-specific basis, and holding country leaders and managers accountable for results. The U.S.-based Seramount Inclusion Index factored data from Otis and 154 other organizations, which were scored in three areas: - Best practices in recruitment, retention, and advancement of people from underrepresented groups - Creating an inclusive culture through leadership accountability, clear communications, and employee engagement - Improving demographic diversity for women and racial/ethnic minorities, especially at more senior levels and in promotions In this index, Otis saw its U.S. score rise by 6 percentage points over 2022. Its highest-ranking category this year, at 82 percent, was company culture.
