LETTER

FROM THE HRC FOUNDATION PRESIDENT I am honored to share with you the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index 2010 report — and the tremendous progress it demonstrates. In these challenging economic times, the Corporate Equality Index once again demonstrates that businesses recognize the importance of working with and providing for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender workers and consumers. For every loss from bankruptcy or acquisition, several new businesses reached 100 percent. In addition, opposition from antiLGBT organizations did not stem the tide of fairness. Major employers stepped forward in unprecedented ways, including steadfast support for marriage equality in California. The number of top-rated businesses continues to climb, reaching an unprecedented 305 businesses — a net increase of 45 over last year — representing more than 9.3-million fulltime employees. And while the CEI continues to challenge employers to improve policies and practices, we embarked on intensive, groundbreaking research focusing on LGBT employees’ actual working climate. The forthcoming results will show that the majority of LGBT employees — including the newest generation of workers —

www.hrc.org/cei

still fear professional backlash from being open in the workplace. Passing an inclusive federal Employment NonDiscrimination Act would unequivocally support employers’ LGBT inclusion efforts. But we’re finding that, even in states with supportive laws on the books, employees still report unnecessary challenges. That’s why, in March 2009, we announced new CEI criteria that will go into effect in 2011(for the CEI 2012 report). They establish new standards for employers that get to the heart of organizational competence on LGBT inclusion and provides them with the tools to ensure that all employees are treated fairly and equally. At a time when holding onto a job is so critical for so many of us, we must be on guard to ensure that we are judged on the quality of our work and not our sexual orientation or gender identity. It is our hope that the Corporate Equality Index will help establish a level of fairness that all employees expect and deserve.

Thank you,

Joe Solmonese President, Human Rights Campaign Foundation

OF FINDINGS A total of 590 businesses were rated this year, including 40 businesses rated for the first time. The average rating across the entire index was 86, compared to 83 percent last year. Ten businesses’ ratings improved by at least 30 points: AMC Entertainment Corp.; Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz PC; Brown-Forman Corp.; Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner LLP; H.E. Butt Grocery Co.; Interpublic Group of Companies Inc.; Morningstar Inc.; Pacific Life Insurance Co.; Perot Systems Corp. and Xcel Energy Inc. More than a decade after rescinding partner benefits in 1997, Perot Systems Corp. reinstated partner benefits in January 2009.

Progress at the FortuneRanked Businesses This was the fourth year that the Fortune 1000 businesses list of the largest publicly traded companies was invited to take part in the Corporate Equality Index survey. The Fortune 500 list has been invited each year since 2002. Of the 268 Fortune 500-ranked businesses that the CEI rated, 123 received 100 percent ratings, with an average CEI rating of 83. Of the 58 Fortune-ranked businesses between 500 and 1000, 15 received 100 percent ratings, with an average rating of 70. Eleven of the Fortune top 20 received 100 percent ratings. McKesson Corp. added gender identity this year to reach 83 percent.

* Based on historic data

www.hrc.org/cei

Two businesses received ratings of zero: energy companies Exxon Mobil Corp. and The Laclede Group Inc. ExxonMobil continues to lose points for resisting shareholder pressure to amend its non-discrimination policies. Similarly, two other companies continued to oppose shareholder resolutions to amend their non-discrimination policies to include gender identity and lost points on their overall rating: Verizon Communications Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Meanwhile, Delta Air Lines Inc., which opposed a similar resolution in 2005, added gender identity to its non-discrimination policy and reached 100 percent this year.

RATING SYSTEM Since its beginning in 2002, the HRC Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index has provided major U.S. businesses with a roadmap for establishing and maintaining inclusive workplaces for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees. The number of employers rated from the first CEI to the present has jumped from 319 to 590; it has quickly become the premier benchmark for businesses to gauge their success on LGBT inclusion against competitors. WHAT BUSINESSES ARE RATED The largest and most successful U.S. employers are invited to participate in the CEI and are identified through the following lists: ■ ■

Fortune magazine’s 1,000 largest publicly traded businesses (2008 Fortune 1000) and American Lawyer magazine’s top 200 revenue-grossing law firms (2008 AmLaw 200).

Forbes magazine’s ranking of the 200 largest private businesses (2008 Forbes 200) is also included in our results, but we cannot guarantee that each was invited because contact information is not as easily accessible as for the Fortune and AmLaw lists. Additionally, any private-sector, for-profit employer with 500 or more full-time U.S. employees can request to participate. More information about participation is available online — www.hrc.org/issues/cei_participate.htm HOW RATINGS ARE USED The CEI is the primary source of data for two key HRC Foundation resources for LGBT and allied workers, consumers and shareholders. ■

HRC Employer Search, a free online database of several thousand U.S. employers, available at www.hrc.org/employersearch.

■

Buying for Equality, a consumer-oriented guide based on CEI ratings, available at www. hrc.org/buyersguide. Distributed every November to coincide with the start of the winter holiday and shopping season, the guide offers LGBT consumers — with an estimated buying power of $759 billion in 2009, according to Witeck-Combs market research — an accessible reference to the most recognizable consumer brands and their corresponding CEI rating.

Similarly, other organizations utilize CEI ratings to guide investment and purchasing decisions. ‘BEST PLACES TO WORK’ Businesses that achieve a rating of 100 percent in this report are recognized as “Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality” and are welcome to use this distinction in their recruitment and marketing efforts. See www.hrc.org/placestowork. These businesses are also invited to submit an entry for the annual Award for Workplace Equality Innovation. See www.hrc.org/innovation.

RATING SYSTEM &

METHODOLOGY THE EVOLUTION OF THE CRITERIA The HRC Foundation is committed to maintaining a rigorous, transparent and achievable CEI rating system and, just as importantly, providing the tools for employers to meet the criteria through online resources and direct consultation. Resources for each of the criteria are available at www.hrc.org/ workplace and are specifically linked to from help text in the CEI survey. The HRC Foundation continually examines the existing criteria and gathers input to guide their development. Criteria changes are necessary to account for: 1) The changing landscape of legal protections for LGBT employees and their families, both federally and from state to state, and 2) Emerging best practices to meet the needs of LGBT employees and ensure that LGBT employees are treated fairly in the workplace. The HRC Foundation is committed to providing at least 12 monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advance notice of any criteria changes. In 2002, the first CEI rated employers strictly on seven criteria (CEI Criteria 1.0), which remain the basis for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criteria. The original criteria were guided in part by the Equality Principles, 10 touch points for businesses demonstrating their commitment to equal treatment of employees, consumers and investors, irrespective of their sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. Just 13 businesses received perfect ratings in that first year; by 2005, more than 100 businesses had achieved perfect ratings, with many establishing the next best practices such as spousal-equivalent domestic partner benefits and comprehensive insurance coverage for transgender employees. In 2004, the HRC Foundation rolled out the second and current version of the criteria (CEI Criteria 2.0), with greater weight given to comprehensive domestic partner benefits and to transgender inclusion; these criteria went into effect in 2006 will remain in effect through 2010 (for the CEI 2011 report). In 2009, the HRC Foundation rolled out the third version of the criteria (CEI Criteria 3.0), with comprehensive requirements for partner benefits, transgender-inclusive benefits, organizational competency on LGBT issues and external engagement with the LGBT community; these criteria will go into effect in 2011 (for the CEI 2012 report).

COR P ORATE E QUALITY I N D E X 2010

www.hrc.org/cei

NEW CRITERIA There are four main objectives of the criteria changes set for calendar year 2011: ■ ■ ■ ■

End benefits discrimination for transgender employees and dependents Provide equal benefits for same-sex partners and spouses Demonstrate firm-wide organizational competency on LGBT issues Demonstrate firm-wide external commitment to LGBT community

The underlined text below indicates new or revised criteria effective in 2011 (for the CEI 2012 report). 1. 2.

Equal employment opportunity policy includes: a. Gender identity or expression b. Sexual orientation Employment benefits a. Equivalent spousal and partner benefits –and– Spousal benefits encompass state-recognized same-sex spouses, partners and civil unions b. Transgender-inclusive health insurance coverage following WPATH Standards of Care Organizational LGBT competency a. Competency training, resources or accountability measures b. Employee group –or– Diversity council c. Engagement and diversity metrics Public commitment External LGBT-specific efforts, including at least three of the following: recruiting, supplier diversity, marketing or advertising, philanthropy or public support for legal LGBT equality Responsible citizenship No known activity that would undermine LGBT equality

Questions pertaining to these criteria were included in the CEI 2010 survey to help prepare participants for the changes. A point breakdown of the criteria will be provided to participants along with the CEI 2011 survey invitation, and participants will be able to calculate a preliminary rating using both the current CEI 2.0 and the future CEI 3.0 criteria as they participate in the CEI 2011 survey. The CEI 2012 survey and report will be the first to utilize the Criteria 3.0. More information about the new criteria is available online at www.hrc.org/newcei.

RATING SYSTEM &

METHODOLOGY HOW WE OBTAIN THE INFORMATION / THE HRC CORPORATE EQUALITY INDEX SURVEY The primary source of information for the CEI rating is the CEI survey, available at www.hrc.org/ issues/cei_survey.htm. While many questions in the survey are required for participation in the CEI, others are informational questions that gauge trends and best practices among all businesses or particular industries. Invitations for the CEI 2010 survey were mailed in April 2009. If a business had not previously participated in the CEI, surveys were sent to the chief executive officer or managing partner of the firm, as well as the highest-level executive responsible for human resources or diversity when it was possible to obtain their contact information. If a business had previously participated in the CEI, surveys were first sent to the individuals responsible for previous submissions. The web-based survey included links to sample policies and other guidance on the HRC Foundation website. HRC Foundation staff provided additional assistance and advice throughout the process and reviewed submitted documentation for appropriate language and consistency with survey answers. Businesses were able to check their preliminary ratings as they progressed through the online survey and were invited to provide HRC Foundation staff with any additional information or updates before this report went to print. The HRC Foundation may rate businesses that have not submitted a survey this year if the business had submitted a survey in previous years and the information is determined to be accurate or if the HRC Foundation has obtained sufficient information to provide an individual rating. In both cases, the HRC Foundation notifies the business of the rating and asks for any updates or clarification. A total of 1,561 businesses received invitations to take part in the survey. Of that number, 461 submitted surveys and 590 were ultimately rated. Last year, a total of 1,567 businesses were sent invitations, 466 submitted surveys and 563 were rated. This is the first year that the response rate did not increase, reflecting the fact that several CEI-rated businesses either ceased operations or were acquired, and others indicated they would not submit a survey this year due to organizational restructuring. Nonetheless, 40 businesses participated for the first time this year, increasing the total number of rated businesses. The information required to generate CEI ratings for businesses is largely considered proprietary and is difficult to ascertain from public records alone. In addition to the self-reporting provided through the CEI survey, the HRC Foundation employs several methods to assess business practices. A team of researchers investigates and cross-checks the policies and practices of the rated businesses and the implications of those policies and practices for LGBT workers, including any connections with organizations that engage in anti-LGBT activities. Employers are not rated until all appropriate information has been gathered and verified to the extent possible.

CORPORATE EQUALITY INDEX 2010

www.hrc.org/cei

In total, the sources used include: ■

The HRC Foundation Corporate Equality Index survey;

■

Securities and Exchange Commission filings to track connections between public companies’ significant shareholders and any organizations or activities that engage in anti-LGBT activities (such connections are footnoted in this report, but do not necessarily change a business’s rating);

■

Internal Revenue Service 990 tax filings for business foundation gifts to anti-LGBT groups;

■

Case law and news accounts for allegations of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity or expression that have been brought against any of these businesses;

■

Individuals or unofficial LGBT employee groups that report information to the HRC Foundation; and

■

The HRC Foundation Workplace Project, which since 1995 has collected information on U.S. employers and today maintains the most accurate and extensive database of business policies that affect LGBT workers and their families.

If a business was found to have a connection with an anti-LGBT organization or activity, the HRC Foundation contacted the business and gave them an opportunity to respond and ensure, to the best of its ability, that no such action would occur in the future. Businesses unwilling to do so lose 15 points from their overall rating through criterion 6, with a minimum possible total rating of zero points. Some businesses’ ratings dropped from the previous year; many of these businesses lost points because reliable data were no longer available, because of fluctuations in external engagement or because the HRC Foundation determined that they were not sufficiently meeting the criteria as indicated.

EACH CEI RATING IS A SNAPSHOT Recognizing that many of the businesses rated in the CEI employ thousands of workers spanning most, if not all, of the 50 states, each business’s rating should be viewed as a snapshot of its activity that year. A CEI rating cannot convey all the nuances of a business’s particular approach to LGBT workplace inclusion, but can be a baseline reference for employers, as well as current and potential employees, consumers and investors.

CORPORATE EQUALITY INDEX 2010

FINDINGS Non-Discrimination Policies and Diversity Training In lieu of federal protections, hundreds of the nation’s top businesses prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation (a person’s physical and/or emotional attraction to someone else) and gender identity or expression (a person’s internal sense of gender, which may or may not align with the gender assigned at birth, as well as how a person behaves, appears or presents oneself with regard to societal expectations of gender). Federally protected classes include age, race, sex, religion, national origin, disability and genetic information. Fully inclusive non-discrimination policies signal to the entire work force that an employer values the diversity of its employees. This foundational policy for LGBT inclusion has been rated on the Corporate Equality Index since the first report in 2002. Resources to address these issues are available at www.hrc.org/issues/equal_opportunity.asp.

GENDER IDENTITY

of CEI-rated employers provide employment protections on the basis of gender identity or expression, the highest figure to date. Perhaps one of the biggest success stories of any single criterion, growth in gender identity protections has gone from just 5 percent of rated businesses in the CEI 2002 to nearly three-quarters of all rated businesses (criterion 2a).

Seventy-six percent of this year’s rated businesses have written gender transition guidelines and/or cover gender identity as a topic of diversity training, up from 72 percent last year (criterion 2b). A total of 141 employers have transition guidelines, up from 115 last year.

DIVERSITY TRAINING Diversity training programs are important vehicles through which an employer elaborates on its expectations of fair treatment to its employees. Trainings may be in-person or web-based modules; credit is given to employers that include “sexual orientation” and “gender identity or expression” as discrete subjects within broader training or as standalone training (criterion 1b and 2b, respectively). While some employers meet this requirement with basic new-hire training, others have developed fully integrated diversity and inclusion programs that combine lessons on diversity with other trainings that are skills or policybased; for example, a training focused on the professional development of new managers may cover a range of topics including organizational values with respect to promoting diversity and inclusion. Forty-eight percent of this year’s rated businesses indicated that they offer such integrated training programs. Employers can alternatively receive credit for criterion 2b for maintaining positive gender transition guidelines that help to ensure consistent and respectful treatment of an employee who transitions on the job.

COR P ORATE E QUALITY I N D E X 2010

FINDINGS EMERGING PRACTICES ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICIES Non-discrimination policies are considered the primary legal safeguards for workers, but anti-harassment policies can further elaborate on behavior that is unacceptable in the workplace. This year,

■ 81 percent of CEI-rated businesses include “sexual orientation” in their anti-harassment policies and

■ 63 percent include “gender identity or expression” or “gender identity” in their antiharassment policies. Inclusive anti-harassment policies and training help human resource professionals and managers identify and address harassing behavior.

SELF-IDENTIFICATION OF LGBT EMPLOYEES Unlike other diversity categories such as race and gender, employers are not required to collect statistics on the LGBT people they employ. But, as the business maxim states: “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” Some employers attempt to measure their LGBT employee base through employee group participation or domestic partner benefits enrollment, but these methods are inherently limited. Adding LGBT demographic questions to HR surveys allows employers to more accurately understand where they have LGBT employees and to quantify the extent to which their efforts have yielded positive results in terms of recruiting and retaining LGBT employees. This is accomplished through anonymous employee engagement or satisfaction surveys and confidential HR demographic questionnaires tracked in restricted employee records. More information about self-identification programs for LGBT employees is at www.hrc.org/issues/8460.htm

of CEI-rated employers allow employees to voluntarily disclose their sexual orientation and gender identity on anonymous surveys or confidential HR records.

Benefits Aside from actual wages paid, health insurance benefits make up roughly 20 percent of employees’ overall compensation. As such, equal benefits are an issue of equal pay for equal work; when denied equal coverage, the cost to LGBT workers and their families is profound. The HRC Foundation rates and gives guidance on two key concerns with benefits:

■ ■

Parity between benefits for different-sex spouses and same-sex partners and Health insurance coverage of medically necessary, transgender-related treatment and care.

Since the 1990s, partner benefits have become standard among top employers — the majority of Fortune 500 companies provide them, and they remain an overall low-cost, high-return benefit for businesses. More recently, large employers have started to address health insurance discrimination against transgender individuals, and most report insignificant premium and/or claim increases as a result.

TRANSGENDER-INCLUSIVE HEALTH BENEFITS Transgender-inclusive health benefits — insurance that covers sex-reassignment surgery and related treatment as defined by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health — are critically important for many transgender people and are historically of insignificant cost to an employer. But, because of pervasive “transgender exclusions,” many health insurance plans in the United States regularly deny transgender people coverage for even basic medical treatments unrelated to being transgender, or would only cover harmful, so-called “reparative therapy” and related treatments. Since 2006, the HRC Foundation has made working with employers to end health insurance discrimination against transgender people a primary goal by requiring survey participants to examine their insurance policies for these transgender exclusions, and to ensure that at least one of five general categories of insurance coverage was available without exclusion for transgender-related treatment: short-term leave, counseling by a mental health professional, hormone therapy, medical visits to monitor hormone therapy and surgical procedures. Credit is not given for harmful “reparative therapy.” Starting in 2008, participants were required to provide supporting documentation demonstrating coverage is available without exclusion, such as:

■

a complete list of exclusions — typically found only in the plan contract itself — that does not indicate a transgender exclusion;

■

clinical guidelines or other contract language indicating that treatment would be considered medically necessary, reconstructive and not cosmetic, as described in the WPATH Standards of Care; or

■

other plan documents or employee communications indicating medically necessary treatments would be covered.

www.hrc.org/cei

COR P ORATE E QUALITY I N D E X 2010

FINDINGS

of this year’s rated businesses have determined that coverage is available for at least one of five categories of transgender-related treatment (criterion 2c).

Criterion 2c (See Appendix A. on p. 21 for individual employer ratings) Businesses That Offer at Least One Transgender-Inclusive Benefit 447 437

2010

2009

Of the employers that met this criterion: ■ 59 percent

provide short-term leave for surgical procedures;

■ 55 percent

provide mental health benefits for counseling by a mental health professional (not limited counseling provided by Employee Assistance Programs);

■ 24 percent

provide pharmacy benefits for hormone therapy;

■ 20 percent

provide health benefits for medical visits and lab procedures related to hormone therapy; and

■ 12 percent

provide health benefits for surgical procedures.

The majority of employers that obtain credit for criterion 2c have done so through short-term leave coverage — which generally does not fall under health insurance and its exclusions — or mental health counseling, which can also fall outside of the health insurance plan or, if covered by the health insurance plan, can fall outside the scope of more limited transgender exclusions.

COR P ORATE E QUALITY I N D E X 2010

www.hrc.org/cei

ENDING BENEFITS DISCRIMINATION AGAINST TRANSGENDER-RELATED CARE The original intent of this criterion was not just to educate employers about these exclusions, but also to encourage employers to remove them. Through our conversations and educational efforts with participating employers, the HRC Foundation has helped spotlight these discriminatory insurance exclusions, and we have seen tremendous progress. Further cost data, model language and best practices for working with health insurance providers and administrators to remove these discriminatory exclusions will be shared in a report in fall 2009.

Beginning in calendar year 2011, full credit will be given only to employers offering all benefits-eligible employees (and their dependents) at least one health insurance plan that: 1.

Covers transgender-related treatment without exclusion and

Reflects the WPATH Standards of Care to determine treatment coverage.

See “Rating System & Methodology” on page 6 for more information about the new criteria. In anticipation of the new criteria, the HRC Foundation has, for the second year, undertaken a more comprehensive review of insurance policies. While the HRC Foundation cannot attest that insurance coverage would ultimately be applied equally from business to business or among multiple insurance plans used by the same business, our review suggests that a number of businesses have taken significant and substantial steps to remove discrimination from at least one of their health insurance plans for employees and their dependents.

businesses had insurance plans that indicated that most medically necessary treatments would be covered. These businesses are highlighted in the appendices with a “+” under column 2c.

Some of the first businesses to implement inclusive coverage placed a maximum financial amount of insurance coverage available to transgender-specific treatment over an individual’s lifetime. Of the 66 businesses that could document that most medically necessary treatments would be covered, only 12 reported a financial cap, ranging from $10,000 to $150,000, with most reporting more than $50,000. The HRC Foundation anticipates that businesses will eventually increase or eliminate these caps entirely.

FINDINGS PARTNER BENEFITS Offering partner benefits is a low-cost way for employers to remain competitive by attracting and retaining LGBT and other fair-minded employees — the majority of employers offering the benefits experience a total financial impact of less than one percent of total benefits cost. The HRC Foundation provides extensive resources relating to domestic partner benefits on its website at www.hrc.org/issues/domestic_partner_benefits.htm.

2009

COBRA/COBRA-equivalent Continuation Coverage Job loss is devastating for all employees and their families. For LGBT employees and their families, the loss of a job can have a doubly devastating impact since the federal mandates under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) do not cover samesex partners and their dependents. However, many employers have implemented COBRA-equivalent coverage to ensure that LGBT workers and their families can still access continued healthcare coverage. Eighty-six percent of CEI-rated businesses offer this benefit.

The HRC Foundation looks to employers to provide equal benefits to LGBT employees and their families across the complete package of benefits offered, not just basic healthcare coverage. The HRC Foundation does not penalize an employer if a particular benefit is not offered to any employees, but rather if a benefit is offered to differentsex spouses and not same-sex partners. The percent of companies providing comprehensive health benefits (criterion 3b) such as dental, vision, dependent medical and Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA)equivalent continuation coverage, increased to 84 percent this year. Similarly, the extension of other “soft” benefits (criterion 3c) such as Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)-equivalent leave benefits, bereavement leave, retirement benefits and employee discounts, increased to 91 percent this year. The CEI requires that at least three benefits be offered equally to partners as they are to differentsex spouses. Those “soft” benefits most often extended to partners include bereavement leave (87 percent of rated employers), employee assistance programs (74 percent), relocation assistance (71 percent) and FMLA-like leave (78 percent).

RETIREMENT BENEFITS The Pension Protection Act of 2006 changed the way that retirement plan benefits may be paid after a participant passes away. The PPA allows non-spouse beneficiaries, including employees’ partners, to roll their inherited retirement benefits directly to an individual retirement account or annuity. The Worker, Retiree and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 contained technical corrections to the PPA — as a result, all qualifying retirement plans must implement the non-spouse rollover provision as of Jan. 1, 2010. More information about implementing the PPA and WRERA is available at www.hrc.org/issues/8606.htm. Businesses were asked about their retirement plan distribution options for informational purposes this year. Seventy-eight percent of those employers providing data indicated that they have made their rollover provision available to same-sex partners. The HRC Foundation continued to survey employers with defined benefit plans (pensions) on whether they provided survivor options for domestic partners of employees, either in the form of Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuities or Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuities. A total of 61 percent of participating employers indicated that they offer defined benefits to their employees; 56 percent of those with pensions offer QJSAs to their employees’ domestic partners, while 45 percent offer QPSAs.

FINDINGS Employee Groups & Diversity Councils With the support of the business, LGBT employee groups — also known as employee resource groups, affinity groups or business networks — provide visibility to the business goal of LGBT inclusion. At the most basic level, such groups focus on retention of LGBT and allied employees, but can also support business opportunities with LGBT consumers and other initiatives. These groups are usually given a budget and access to organizational resources such as an e-mail address, a presence on internal employee-only websites, meeting space and focused opportunities to communicate the business value of LGBT inclusion with the broader organization. Most employee groups include an executive champion – a senior manager who helps hone and identify the business goals for the employee group and ensures visibility of these issues with other executives. Generally, groups also have a liaison to human resources to ensure that regular workplace concerns can be quickly and effectively addressed. LGBT employee groups span organizational structures and provide a clear line of communication between employees and management, working to ensure that policies and practices have their intended effect. In addition to giving guidance and input on workplace policies and practices, LGBT groups also help provide a sense of safety and acceptance for LGBT employees within the workplace by maintaining a visible presence and establishing that LGBT employees are respected and have a voice within the organization. Similarly, businesses may create a diversity council of individuals representing different aspects of the organization’s business — by functional, geographic or other distribution — tasked with specific short- and long-term goals surrounding LGBT diversity.

of CEI-rated employers have an employee resource group or diversity council that includes LGBT issues (criterion 4). Sixty percent have employee groups, 40 percent have diversity councils and 22 percent have both. Ninety-two percent of employee groups are sponsored by an executive champion.

More information on LGBT employee groups can be found at www.hrc.org/issues/employee_groups.htm

External Engagement Employers can â&#x20AC;&#x153;come outâ&#x20AC;? and demonstrate their commitment to LGBT inclusion by publicly engaging with the broader LGBT community. This sends a clear message to current and prospective LGBT employees that their gender identity and sexual orientation are not merely accepted by that organization, but valued. Businesses can engage LGBT consumers directly through marketing or advertising in LGBT media or through LGBT-targeted messages in general media, as well as through sponsorships of LGBT organizations and events. For example, businesses can support Pride celebrations to connect with LGBT consumers in targeted geographic markets. Through philanthropic financial support or donations of products or services, businesses can support LGBT health, education or political efforts. Typically, these have a strategic connection to the core business of an organization, such as law firm pro bono legal support for organizations that provide direct legal support for LGBT individuals, and travel and entertainment organizations supporting LGBT tourism efforts. In 2008, many CEI-rated employers opposed Proposition 8 in California, recognizing that legal relationship recognition helps attract and retain qualified LGBT employees.

of CEI-rated businesses report some form of external engagement with the LGBT community, through marketing, advertising and recruitment efforts or philanthropic contributions to LGBT organizations (criterion 5).

The HRC Foundation provides extensive resources on external engagement on its website at www.hrc.org/issues/12195.htm.

FINDINGS LGBT Recruiting Efforts Professional recruiting events provide employers the opportunity to engage LGBT and allied employees in bringing new talent to the organization, and provide attendees the opportunity to speak directly to LGBT and allied employees about their workplace environment and prospects as an LGBT professional and other insider tips. LGBT Professional Recruitment Events www.hrc.org/issues/8954.htm Businesses have also set up targeted recruiting pages on their websites — these likely provide metrics for the business to track the number of hits the page gets. ■ ■

Google: www.google.com/jobs/gayglers A.T. Kearney www.gala.atkearney.com

Equally if not more important, an employer’s general career web pages can prominently display its inclusive non-discrimination policy and/ or its “Best Places to Work” LGBT inclusion distinction. ■ ■
