that it received a top score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign's
2021 Corporate Equality Index, a national benchmarking survey and
report measuring corporate LGBTQ workplace equality policies and
practices. In addition, the company received distinction as a Best
Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.
This marks the second year in a row that Yext has achieved the
highest mark on the index, which takes into account criteria
including non-discrimination policies, equitable benefits for LGBTQ
workers and their families, efforts to support an inclusive
culture, and corporate social responsibility.
"We're proud that our inclusive culture has been recognized by
the Human Rights Campaign for the second year in a row," said Brian
"Skip" Schipper, Chief People Officer at Yext. "We are
constantly striving to make Yext a company where every employee has
the opportunity to grow her or his career by channelling energy
into building great products, creating great customer experiences,
and making Yext a strong company for the long run."
"From the previously unimaginable impact of the COVID-19
pandemic, to a long overdue reckoning with racial injustice, 2020
was an unprecedented year. Yet, many businesses across the nation
stepped up and continued to prioritize and champion LGBTQ
equality," said Alphonso David,
Human Rights Campaign President. "Thank you to the companies that
understand protecting their LGBTQ employees and consumers from
discrimination is not just the right thing to do — but the best
business decision."

including EXPRESS, an employee resource group dedicated to LGBTQ
employees and their allies.
