The 2016 CEI rated 1,024 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
results in a 100 percent ranking and the designation as a Best
