Huron Consulting Group (NASDAQ: HURN), a leading provider of business consulting services, today announced that it received a perfect score on the 2015 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) for the second consecutive year. CEI is a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to LGBT workplace equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.

“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 H. Roth, chief executive officer and president, Huron Consulting Group.

Huron supports employees through programs such as:

Inclusive Company policies and benefits packages.
An LGBTA employee resource group, known 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.
