December 08, 2016 // Franchising.com // Realogy Holdings Corp. yesterday received a “Diversity in PR Award” for its Realogy Diversity & Inclusion Council campaign aimed at engaging employees around diversity objectives, partnering with diverse real estate associations, and positioning executives from Realogy and its real estate franchise brands as thought leaders within diverse market segments. The award was presented by PR News at its annual Diversity & Inclusion Awards held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

“It’s important for companies to keep the conversation open at all levels about the positive impact of having an inclusive environment — one where employees are engaged through a broad communication plan that elevates the importance of diversity and inclusion in making a company better while increasing its ability to attract talent,” said Carmen Mercado, upon accepting the award on behalf of Realogy at the PR News’ Winter Awards Luncheon. Mercado is a member of the Realogy Diversity & Inclusion Council and director of strategic growth markets for the Realogy Franchise Group, whose leading brands include Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate, CENTURY 21®, Coldwell Banker®, Coldwell Banker Commercial®, ERA® and Sotheby's International Realty®.
