The Hartford Named A Best Place To Work For LGBTQ Equality For 11th Year
Company earned perfect score on Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2019 Corporate Equality Index
The Hartford has received a perfect score of 100 percent on the 2019 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking
survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) workplace
equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. This marks the 11th year The Hartford has received this
recognition.
“The Hartford has a long history of proudly supporting and advocating for the LGBTQ community,” said The Hartford’s Chief
Diversity & Inclusion Officer, Susan Johnson. “We are honored to be recognized for the work we do every day to cultivate a
diverse workforce and inclusive workplace where all employees are empowered to engage and contribute to the company’s long-term
success.”
In addition to strong leadership support, the company’s employees are actively engaged in LGBTQ advocacy. This includes
sponsoring and marching in local Pride Parades and participating in GLOBE (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Organization
Benefiting Everyone), the first of the company’s nine employee resource groups. GLOBE, which was founded in 1996, champions the
growth and development of its members by providing the company with a center of expertise for LGBTQ awareness, networking and
business practices. For more information, visit

As part of the company’s ongoing support of the LGBTQ community, The Hartford will light the sign on top of its Tower Building
in Hartford, Connecticut, light blue, white and light pink on March 31 in recognition of International Transgender Day of
Visibility.
The 2019 CEI evaluates LGBTQ-related policies and practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner
benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs, and public engagement with the LGBTQ community. The
Hartford’s efforts in satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria results in a 100 percent ranking and the designation as a Best Place to
Work for LGBTQ Equality.
