COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 31,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Huntington (Nasdaq: HBAN;
www.huntington.com) has earned a top spot nationally in several key
rankings for workplace diversity and inclusion.
Reflecting its purpose of looking out for people by delivering
an inclusive environment for its 16,000 colleagues, Huntington
recently earned recognition from three organizations that annually
track diversity and inclusion in the workplace:
- 2019 Fortune 100 Best Workplaces for
Diversity. Based on anonymous employee surveys, this list
recognizes companies that create inclusive cultures for people of
all genders, sexual identities, ages and abilities.
- 2020 Forbes Best Employers for Diversity. Similarly,
Huntington is ranked in the top 100 employers on this list that
reflects employees' anonymous opinions across a wide range of
criteria, including age, gender equality, ethnicity, disability,
LGBTQ+ and general diversity. The ranking also considers diversity
among leadership and boards of directors.
- 2020 Human Rights Campaign Best Place to Work for
LGBTQ Equality. For the seventh year in a row, Huntington
has earned a perfect 100 rating for LGBTQ-inclusive workplace
policies, benefits and practices, based on the rating categories in
the HRC's Corporate Equality Index.
"We're extremely proud of this recognition, and we're even more
proud that the Welcome experience our colleagues strive to deliver
for our customers is what they experience at Huntington," said Raj
Syal, Huntington's chief human resource officer. "A diverse
workforce and inclusive culture accelerate our ability to create
new ideas and innovate on behalf of our customers. When we empower
our colleagues, we enable them to collaborate, solve problems and
do their best work. We believe that's why people come to Huntington
and why they stay with us."
Huntington offers a robust array of opportunities for colleagues
and partners to connect, embrace their uniqueness, and learn from
one another – from colleague-driven Business Resource Groups and
local Inclusion Councils to supplier diversity programs and
community outreach throughout Huntington's seven-state footprint.
The bank also provides the voluntary opportunity for colleagues to
self-identify their dimensions of diversity on the company
directory as another way to better understand each other.
"Huntington is inclusive because Welcome is in our cultural
DNA," Syal said. "Our shared commitment to diversity and inclusion
drives us to seek and embrace diverse points of view and celebrate
diverse experiences for our colleagues and customers alike."
