Company recognized for best-in-class gender policies and
practices for fourth consecutive year
The Hartford has been named to the 2019 Bloomberg
Gender-Equality Index (GEI) for the fourth consecutive year. The
Hartford is one of 230 companies commended this year and was
included in the inaugural index in 2016.
“We are proud to be recognized again for our industry-leading,
gender-equality policies and practices,” said The Hartford’s Chief
Diversity & Inclusion Officer, Susan Johnson. “Throughout the
company employees are trained on inclusion and appreciating
differences, cultivating an environment where everyone feels valued
for their uniqueness and can perform at their full potential. Our
continued focus on maintaining a diverse and inclusive workforce
makes us a company of choice for employees, business partners and
customers.”
To be considered for the index, The Hartford voluntarily
participated in a Bloomberg GEI survey that focused on the
promotion of gender equality across four key areas: company
statistics, policies, community engagement and products and
services. The survey was designed to encourage disclosure and the
aggregation of company-specific data about gender. Companies are
scored based on the information provided, and those with scores
above the globally-established threshold, are included in the
index. Evidence demonstrates gender-equality policies and practices
can affect a company’s financial performance, productivity and
ability to retain top talent, according to Bloomberg.
“We applaud The Hartford and the other 229 firms tracked by the
index for their action to measure gender equality through the
Bloomberg GEI framework,” said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of
Bloomberg and Founding Chairman of the U.S. 30% Club. “The
Hartford’s GEI inclusion is a strong indicator to its employees,
investors and industry peers alike that it is leading by example to
advance ongoing efforts for a truly inclusive workplace.”
The Hartford is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive
workplace where people are respected for who they are, recognized
for how they contribute, and celebrated for what they can become.
The company has focused investments in talent development
initiatives related to diversity and inclusion strategies,
including leadership training, mentoring and the company’s eight
employee resource groups, which includes the Professional Women’s
Network. In 2018 The Hartford was named a Best Employer for Women
by Forbes, which recognizes companies focused on cultivating a
culture that is beneficial to women. To learn more about diversity
