“We are proud to be recognized again for our industry-leading,
gender-inclusive policies and practices,” said The Hartford’s Chief
Diversity & Inclusion Officer, Susan Johnson. “At The Hartford,
gender diversity plays an important role in cultivating an
environment where everyone feels valued for their uniqueness and
can contribute to the long-term success of the company. 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 five key pillars: female
leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity,
inclusive culture, sexual harassment policies, and pro-women brand.
Companies included in the 2020 GEI have provided a comprehensive
look at their investment in workplace gender equality and the
communities in which they operate. The Hartford was included in
this year’s index for scoring at or above a global threshold
established by Bloomberg to reflect a high level of disclosure and
overall performance across the framework’s five pillars.
"The 325 companies included in the 2020 GEI have shown their
commitment to transparency and demonstrated leadership in
gender-related data reporting," said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of
Bloomberg. "Disclosure of company statistics and practices is an
important first step in supporting gender equality globally."
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 nine
employee resource groups, which includes the Professional Women’s
Network. To learn more about diversity and inclusion at The
