Firm received perfect rating for fourth year in a row on
Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index
Global professional services firm Huron (NASDAQ: HURN) has been
named a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality by earning a 100
percent rating on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2017
Corporate Equality Index. The national benchmarking survey on
corporate policies and practices related to LGBT workplace equality
evaluates employers on equal employment opportunities, benefits,
public engagement and responsible citizenship.
“Being recognized as a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality is a
testament to our commitment to providing a great place to work for
all our employees. Celebrating the diversity of our workforce
fosters an inclusive work environment, and strengthens our thought
leadership and expertise as a business,” says Patricia Olsen,
Huron’s corporate vice president of human resources. “We are better
able to advise our clients when all our employees – regardless of
race, gender, religion or sexual orientation – bring their ideas
and experiences to their work.”
As a reflection of its values, Huron encourages collaboration
and a sense of corporate community through seven employee resource
groups. These teams, including the LGBTA group, provide diverse
employees opportunities to network, mentor and share information
across backgrounds and experiences.
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation created the Corporate
Equality Index survey in 2002 in response to limited U.S. federal
protection against LGBT discrimination in the workplace. The
survey’s growth in prominence has encouraged businesses to expand
on gender identity protections, benefits for same-sex couples and
holistic corporate inclusion.
