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.
