“Red Robin is honored to be recognized for providing women with equal opportunities to succeed in a historically male-dominated industry, said Denny Marie Post, president and chief executive officer at Red Robin. “To achieve success in today’s disruptive business environment, companies need to take risks, promote women into visible leadership roles, demand gender diversity and hold the entire organization accountable for making progress. This formula has contributed to Red Robin’s 50/50 executive team and board of directors, strengthened leadership throughout our organization and is what sets us apart as one of America’s Best Employers for Women.” Red Robin’s commitment to Team Member gender equality is commonplace throughout the entire organization and is highlighted by its “Women’s Excellence” (WE) program. The first-ever companywide employee resource group was introduced in 2013 with the mission to support and inspire Team Members through development, mentoring, networking, leadership and resources while breaking down personal and professional barriers to fuel a climate of opportunity and diversity. “WE” establishes a quarterly curriculum that is leveraged in all Red Robin restaurants and the home office to further build continuity and strengthen development. The Company also has a long-standing partnership with the Women’s Foodservice Forum (WFF), which has been instrumental in providing valuable resources and insights to help accelerate the advancement of Red Robin’s women leaders. Additionally, Red Robin executives have been actively engaged with WFF, led by President and CEO Denny Marie Post, who is currently the Chair-Elect of the organization’s board of directors. Forbes partnered with market research company Statista to anonymously survey 40,000 Americans, including 25,000 women, working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees in the U.S. Participants were asked to openly give their opinions on a series of general work topics such as atmosphere, diversity, salary and wage; general topics relevant for women in the areas of parental leave, family support and discrimination; in addition to an evaluation of other employers in their respective industries. Statista also researched female diversity among top executives and board members for each company to arrive at the top 300 companies who excel in supporting their female workforce.
