ROSELAND, N.J., April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ADP®, a
leading global technology company providing human capital
management (HCM) solutions, received a 100 percent rating in the
2019 Human Rights Campaign Foundation's (HRC) Corporate Equality
Index (CEI), earning the designation as a Best Place to Work for
LGBTQ Equality. This marks the 10th consecutive year ADP has
earned a perfect score in the HRC CEI.
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. This year, ADP was once again recognized by the
HRC as a preeminent employer for its commitment to workplace
equality and its ability to offer safe and fair working
environments for employees of every sexual orientation, gender
identity and expression. In all criteria for the 2019 CEI,
ADP received the highest possible rating.
"Equality and fairness are paramount at ADP, and we believe that
actions speak louder than words when it comes to creating better
ways to work," said Rita Mitjans,
chief diversity and corporate social responsibility officer of
ADP. "We're proud that ADP's holistic approach to creating an
inclusive work environment earned a perfect score on the 2019
CEI."
"The top-scoring companies on this year's CEI are not only
establishing policies that affirm and include employees here in
the United States, they are
applying these policies to their global operations and impacting
millions of people beyond our shores," said HRC President
Chad Griffin. "Many of these
companies have also become vocal advocates for equality in the
public square, including the dozens that have signed on to amicus
briefs in vital Supreme Court cases and the more than 170 that have
joined HRC's Business Coalition for the Equality Act. Time and
again, leading American businesses have shown that protecting their
employees and customers from discrimination isn't just the right
thing to do -- it's also good for business."
Added Mitjans, "While we are honored by this recognition,
society's journey to achieving a just workplace for all is far from
over. We are more committed to workplace equality, and its
rightful place in the future of work, than ever before."
The announcement comes on the heels of ADP's inclusion in
Bloomberg's 2019 Gender Equality Index (GEI), where it scored above
the index and technology sector averages.
