“Programs and initiatives that focus on strengthening
collaboration across our diverse employee base continue to be a
priority for Huron. We are proud of our ability to create and
promote an atmosphere of inclusiveness, and we are pleased to be
among the companies recognized by the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation as a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality,” said James

Huron supports employees through programs such as:
- Inclusive Company policies and benefits
packages.

as the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Allies (LGBTA) iMatter
Team.
- Philanthropic support including
volunteering at EdgeAlliance in Chicago, a pro bono project with
TPAN, and participating in the AIDS Run & Walk fundraisers in
several cities.
The 2015 CEI rated 971 businesses in the report, which evaluates
LGBT-related policies and practices including non-discrimination
workplace protections, domestic partner benefits,
transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs,
and public engagement with the LGBT community. Huron’s efforts in
satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria resulted in a 100 percent
ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBT
Equality.
