OAKLAND, Calif., Dec. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Clorox
Company (NYSE: CLX) has earned recognitions from both the Human
Rights Campaign and Glassdoor for being a "best place to work."
From the Human Rights Campaign, the company received a 100
percent score on its 2017 Corporate Equality Index, a national
benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices
related to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality in the
workplace. Clorox is one of 517 U.S. companies to earn a perfect
score this year and has earned a perfect score since 2006. With the
top rating, Clorox also has been designated a Best Place to Work
for LGBT Equality.
"We're honored to have been recognized by the Human Rights
Campaign for our progressive workplace policies and practices for
more than a decade now," said Dawn
Willoughby, chief operating officer and executive vice
president – Cleaning, International and Corporate Strategy, who
also serves as executive sponsor of PRIDE, the company's employee
resource group for LGBT employees. "Being named a Best Place to
Work for LGBT Equality is a reflection of our company's commitment
to diversity and inclusion at all levels — from the grassroots work
of our employee and business resource groups to our senior
leadership and board of directors. Together, they help create an
environment where each and every person can thrive while
contributing to the growth of the business."
The 2017 CEI rated more than 1,000 businesses in its report,
which evaluates LGBT-related policies and practices including
non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner
benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency
programs and public engagement with the LGBT community. For more

From jobs and recruiting website Glassdoor, Clorox was named one
of the Best Places to Work in the U.S. among employers with 1,000
employees or more. The company ranked 12th out of 50 listed
companies based on overall satisfaction and key workplace factors
like career opportunities, compensation, benefits, work-life
balance, senior management, and culture and values. The
Glassdoor Employees' Choice Awards program, now in its ninth year,
relies solely on the input of employees, who elect to provide
feedback on their jobs, work environments and companies.
"It's especially gratifying to be honored by Glassdoor as one of
the Best Places to Work in the U.S. because it's coming from
employees themselves," said Kirsten
Marriner, senior vice president and chief people officer.
"Having a culture where people love coming to work, reflected in
this award, is among our highest priorities because it not only
helps us attract the best candidates but ultimately helps us
deliver better business results."
The Best Places to Work are determined using company reviews
shared by U.S.-based employees between Nov.
2, 2015, and Oct. 30, 2016. To
be considered for the large category, a company must have at least
1,000 or more employees and have received at least 75 company
reviews from U.S.-based employees during the period of eligibility.
The final list is compiled based on Glassdoor's proprietary
algorithm, and takes into account quantity, quality and consistency
of reviews. The complete list of the Glassdoor Best Places to Work
in 2017 can be found at

In addition to the Human Rights Campaign and Glassdoor
recognitions, The Clorox Company earned the 2016 Great Place to
Work® certification earlier this year and has had consistently high
employee engagement scores. According to the 2016 survey conducted
by Willis Towers Watson, 87 percent
of Clorox employees feel engaged or highly engaged, topping levels
at Fast Moving Consumer Goods companies (79 percent) and Global
High Performance companies that outperform their peer groups
financially and in terms of employee engagement (84 percent).
