Ranking
Synchrony Financial (NYSE: SYF),
one of the nation’s premier consumer financial services company, is
proud to announce its perfect score of 100 percent on the 2018
Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national ranking on corporate
policies and practices related to lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender and queer (LGBTQ) workplace equality. This is Synchrony
Financial’s third year in a row receiving a perfect score of
100.
“Synchrony Financial is committed to promoting diverse practices
for all of our employees, shareholders, prospective employees and
the public,” said Marissa Lara, Chief Diversity Officer at
Synchrony Financial. “We are excited to receive recognition for our
continued diversity and inclusion efforts to ensure we remain a
leader in LGBTQ workplace equality.”
Synchrony cultivates an environment of diversity and inclusion
through its seven Diversity Networks, with involvement from over
7,000 Synchrony employees who work collectively to drive retention,
development, growth and exposure of diverse talent throughout the
company. Our LGBT Partnership Network’s mission is to attract and
develop individuals by fostering an environment where they can
excel, be their authentic selves, and serve as advocates in the
communities and marketplaces we serve.
As part of the 2018 CEI, Synchrony was evaluated on its
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. Synchrony’s commitment
and policies satisfy all of the CEI’s criteria, resulting in a 100
percent ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for
LGBTQ Equality.
