Company earned perfect score on Human Rights Campaign
Foundation’s 2017 Corporate Equality Index
The Hartford has received a perfect score of 100 percent on the
2017 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey
and report on corporate policies and practices related to LGBT
workplace equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation. This marks the ninth year The Hartford has received
this recognition.
“An inclusive work environment that values diversity improves
the experience of our employees and is critical in helping The
Hartford better serve our customers and business partners,” said
Marty Gervasi, The Hartford’s chief human resources officer. “The
Hartford is honored to be recognized as a top workplace for the
LGBT community.”
The Hartford has a long history of supporting diversity in the
workplace, and proudly supporting the LGBT community. Gervasi
serves as executive sponsor of The Hartford’s GLOBE (Gay, Lesbian,
Bisexual and Transgendered Organization Benefiting Everyone)
employee resource group, which champions the growth and development
of its members by providing the company with a center of expertise
for LGBT awareness, networking and business practices. GLOBE led
the way as The Hartford’s first employee resource group and
recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. GLOBE is one of The
Hartford’s eight employee resource groups that support diversity
and inclusion in the workforce. For more information,

The 2017 CEI rated 1,043 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. The
Hartford’s efforts in satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria results
in a 100 percent ranking and the designation as a Best Place to
Work for LGBT Equality. The Hartford is one of 517 major U.S.
businesses to earn top marks this year.
