Navigant (NYSE: NCI) proudly announced today that for the ninth
consecutive year, it has received a perfect score on the 2018
Corporate Equality Index (CEI). Administered by the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation (HRC), the CEI is a U.S. benchmarking survey
and report on corporate policies and practices related to Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) workplace
equality.
“Navigant’s commitment to the promotion of a workplace that
values mutual respect and equality is unwavering,” said Julie
Howard, Navigant chairman and CEO. “Championing diversity and
inclusion is engrained in our core values, and our company’s
success is due to our colleagues’ commitment to supporting these
values in everything we do.”
In 2017, Navigant continued to create awareness, understanding,
and an appreciation for its progressive work environment through
programs championed by the company’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender, and Allies Employee Resource Group. The efforts
included webinars, sponsorships, active participation in
LGBTQ-focused job fairs, and community outreach around the
country.
“Receiving a perfect score on HRC’s Corporate Equality Index
nine-years running is a direct testament to Navigant’s commitment
to the LGBT community,” said Sarah Golden, manager in Navigant’s
human capital department and co-chair of the company’s LGBTA
Employee Resource Group. “Navigant continues to stand on the right
side of history by actively supporting a diverse and inclusive
workforce. For that, I am truly grateful.”
The 2018 CEI rated 947 businesses in the report, through a
survey evaluating policies and practices including
nondiscrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits,
transgender-inclusive healthcare benefits, competency programs, and
public engagement with the LGBTQ community. Navigant’s efforts in
satisfying all the CEI criteria resulted in a 100 percent ranking
and the designation as a Best Places to Work for LGBTQ
Equality.
