Company earned perfect score on Human Rights Campaign
Foundation’s 2019 Corporate Equality Index
The Hartford has received a perfect score of 100 percent on the
2019 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey
and report on corporate policies and practices related to lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) workplace equality,
administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. This marks
the 11th year The Hartford has received this recognition.
“The Hartford has a long history of proudly supporting and
advocating for the LGBTQ community,” said The Hartford’s Chief
Diversity & Inclusion Officer, Susan Johnson. “We are honored
to be recognized for the work we do every day to cultivate a
diverse workforce and inclusive workplace where all employees are
empowered to engage and contribute to the company’s long-term
success.”
In addition to strong leadership support, the company’s
employees are actively engaged in LGBTQ advocacy. This includes
sponsoring and marching in local Pride Parades and participating in
GLOBE (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Organization
Benefiting Everyone), the first of the company’s nine employee
resource groups. GLOBE, which was founded in 1996, champions the
growth and development of its members by providing the company with
a center of expertise for LGBTQ awareness, networking and business
practices. For more information, visit

As part of the company’s ongoing support of the LGBTQ community,
The Hartford will light the sign on top of its Tower Building in
Hartford, Connecticut, light blue, white and light pink on March 31
in recognition of International Transgender Day of Visibility.
The 2019 CEI evaluates LGBTQ-related policies and practices
including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic
partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits,
competency programs, and public engagement with the LGBTQ
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 LGBTQ Equality.
