The Hartford Named A Best Place To Work For LGBT Equality For Seventh Year

HIG

The Hartford has been recognized as a Best Place to Work for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Equality by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). The company received the accolade for scoring 100 percent on the HRC's 2015 Corporate Equality Index (CEI).

"The Hartford is honored to be recognized once again as a top employer for the LGBT community,” said Susan Johnson, vice president of diversity and inclusion at The Hartford. “Maintaining a perfect score reflects our commitment to cultivating an inclusive culture that supports and leverages the rich diversity of our workforce so we can meet the needs of our customers and business partners."

One of The Hartford’s employee resource groups, GLOBE (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Organization Benefiting Everyone), champions the growth and development of its members by providing the company with a center of expertise for LGBT awareness, networking and business practices. GLOBE is one of eight employee resource groups that support diversity and inclusion in the workforce, each of which is sponsored by a member of The Hartford’s executive leadership team.

The Hartford was one of 366 out of 971 companies to receive a perfect score. The policies, benefits and practices that businesses must implement to earn a perfect score are best-in-class demonstrations of corporate commitments to LGBT workers.

The CEI, released each fall since 2002, provides an in-depth analysis and rating of large U.S. employers and their policies and practices pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees. HRC is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.
