For the third year running, the Human Rights Campaign has
recognized Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) as one of the “Best Places
to Work for LGBTQ Equality” after awarding a perfect score of 100
in its latest Corporate Equality Index.
The recognition is part of the LGTBQ civil rights organization’s
recently released 2018 index list, which rates companies based on
LGBTQ-related policies and practices. To achieve the top rating,
companies must score positively on a number of factors, including
non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner
benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency
programs and public engagement with the LGBTQ community.
“We are proud to achieve this rating for the third year in a row
because it reflects the Harris Corporation values,” said Bob Duffy,
senior vice president of Human Resources and Administration.
“Employee inclusion is one of the foundations our company is built
upon, and we are committed to continuing the practices that led to
this recognition.”
One of Harris’ core values, Inclusion and Equity of Opportunity,
emphasizes that the company’s success comes from diverse ideas and
talent working together to achieve goals. Harris benefits cover
same-sex spouses and domestic partners, and company policies
prohibit discrimination in all forms. Harris emphasizes a culture
where everyone can thrive by promoting inclusive recruiting,
professional development and community engagement. Among its active
employee resource groups is PRIDE, which hosts regular internal and
external events – including involvement in local pride parades the
company sponsors.
