Company is one of 52 firms recognized for strong commitment to
building diverse and inclusive work environments
The Hartford has been named to the 2017 Bloomberg Financial
Services Gender-Equality Index (BFGEI), which recognizes companies
that have demonstrated strong commitments to gender equality. The
Hartford is one of 52 firms included in the 2017 BFGEI and was
named to the inaugural index in 2016.
“We are proud to be recognized again this year for our
commitment to gender equality,” said Susan Johnson, head of
diversity and inclusion at The Hartford. “In addition to the
growing evidence linking gender diversity and better business
performance, we know from our employee survey data that our focus
on diversity and inclusion contributes directly to our high
employee engagement scores and our ability to attract, develop and
retain top talent.”
The BFGEI provides investors and organizations with standardized
aggregate data across company gender statistics; employee policies;
gender-conscious product offerings; and external community support
and engagement.
In order to be considered, The Hartford submitted a social
survey created by Bloomberg in partnership with third-party
experts, including Women's World Banking, Catalyst and Working
Mother Media. Those included on this year's index scored at or
above 60 points, a global threshold established by Bloomberg to
reflect disclosure and the achievement or adoption of best-in-class
statistics and policies.
"We are encouraged by the significant expansion of this year's
index, and by the leadership each of our member firms has
demonstrated," said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg and
Founding Chairman of the U.S. 30% Club. "Their commitments to
building diverse and inclusive work environments are setting new
standards around the globe and raising awareness around the
challenges all of our organizations face."
The Hartford is committed to building an inclusive and engaging
culture, 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, which
include training, mentoring programs, and programming from the
company’s eight employee resource groups, including its
Professional Women’s Network. The Hartford has been named a 2020
Women on Boards Winning Company, in recognition of its
representation of women on its board of directors. To learn
