The nation’s largest LGBT civil rights organisation publishes its Corporate Equality Index (CEI) every year to measure employers’ efforts to promote workplace fairness for LGBT employees. TCCC has received a perfect rating every year since 2006.
Steve Bucherati, group director, global diversity and workplace fairness, said: “We are pleased to have earned a 100% score on the CEI again this year. We appreciate our partnership and ongoing advice and counsel from HRC and the many contributions from our LGBT Business Resource Group, including insights and assistance in implementing policies and programmes to support our LGBT employees.”
The CEI rates companies on 40 specific policies and practices, 32 of which are new or more demanding this year. To achieve a perfect score and the distinction of “Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality,” companies must have fully inclusive equal employment opportunity policies, provide equal employment benefits, demonstrate organisational competency, evidence their commitment to equality publicly and exercise responsible citizenship.
