World Bank Work Force Seeks Diverse U.S. Employees: WASHINGTON — Few organizations have as racially and culturally diverse a work force as the organizations that make up the World Bank Group. Of its 13,000 employees, nearly 60 percent of whom are located in downtown Washington, D.C., and the rest scattered across 160 offices around the globe, nearly every nation in the world is represented in the World Bank work force.
This past fall the World Bank launched a new chapter in its long-running diversity and inclusion efforts by inaugurating the US Minorities Working Group. The working group, which comprises World Bank officials and representatives from U.S. minority-serving organizations, has been meeting in Washington to devise strategies to spread awareness about the bank’s mission and to develop initiatives to increase African-American, Hispanic, Native American and Asian-American exposure to, as well as employment at, the World Bank.
