Company scores 100 on Human Rights Campaign
Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index for sixth consecutive
year
The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today announced that
it has earned a score of 100 on the 2021 Corporate Equality Index
(CEI), maintaining its distinction for the sixth consecutive year
as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality. The CEI is a national
benchmarking tool administered by the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation that evaluates corporate policies and practices related
to LGBTQ workplace equality.
“We are extremely proud to have once again received top marks on
the Corporate Equality Index, an honor that underscores our deep
commitment to providing an inclusive and welcoming workplace,” said
Diane Kurtzman, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources
Officer at Travelers. “Celebrating what makes us unique brings
tremendous value to our company and helps us sustain a culture
where employees feel valued, respected and supported.”
Travelers offers several programs designed to uphold a diverse
and inclusive workplace, including:
- Diversity Networks: The company supports eight Diversity
Networks, which are employee-led groups focused on attracting,
retaining and developing all employees through networking,
mentorship and community volunteer opportunities. The Pride &
Allies Diversity Network was launched in 2012 to promote the
inclusion and development of LGBTQ professionals.
- A Conscious Inclusion and Unconscious Bias Program:
Travelers requires all employees to complete a two-part diversity
education program that explores biases and their impact in the
workplace, as well as how to be more intentionally inclusive.
- Employee Benefits: Travelers provides health insurance
benefits for transitioning employees and family members that cover
professional counseling, hormone therapy and, if clinically
appropriate, gender reassignment surgery. In its commitment to
providing a positive and respectful environment, the company has
also developed resources for transitioning employees, their
co-workers and their managers.
- An Inclusive Leadership Performance Objective: All
managers’ annual performance expectations include a
diversity-related performance objective: to purposefully foster a
work environment where all employees are included and appreciated,
and to attract, retain, engage and develop employees from all
cultures and backgrounds.
- A “Diversity Speaks” Series: The company sponsors events
designed to create a culture that embraces the power of difference.
The events feature employees and guest speakers who share their
personal experiences and viewpoints.
