ROSELAND, N.J., Jan. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ADP, a leading
global technology company providing human capital management (HCM)
solutions, received a 100 percent rating in the 2020 Human Rights
Campaign Foundation's (HRC) Corporate Equality Index (CEI), earning
the designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.
This marks the 11th consecutive year ADP has earned a perfect score
in the HRC CEI.
The 2020 CEI evaluates LGBTQ-related policies and practices
including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic
partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits,
competency programs, and public engagement with the LGBTQ
community. This year, ADP was once again recognized by the
HRC as a preeminent employer for its commitment to workplace
equality and its ability to offer safe and fair working
environments for employees of every sexual orientation, gender
identity and expression. In all criteria for the 2020 CEI,
ADP received the highest possible rating.
"Creating a better world of work where everyone feels engaged
and empowered to achieve their full potential is core to our
purpose at ADP," said Aisha
Thomas-Petit, chief diversity, inclusion and corporate
social responsibility officer of ADP. "We believe an engaged,
inclusive and diverse workforce attracts top talent, galvanizes our
creativity, drives innovation and leads to better products and
services. We are extremely proud to see that our efforts have
earned a perfect score on the 2020 CEI."
"The impact of the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality
Index over its 18-year history is profound. In this time, the
corporate community has worked with us to adopt LGBTQ-inclusive
policies, practices and benefits, establishing the Corporate
Equality Index as a primary driving force for LGBTQ workplace
inclusion in America and across the globe," said HRC President
Alphonso David. "These
companies know that protecting their LGBTQ employees and customers
from discrimination is not just the right thing to do -- it is also
the best business decision. In addition, many of these
leaders are also advocating for the LGBTQ community and equality
under the law in the public square. From supporting LGBTQ
civil rights protections in the U.S. through HRC's Business
Coalition for the Equality Act, to featuring transgender and
non-binary people in an ad in Argentina, to advocating for marriage equality
in Taiwan -- businesses understand
their LGBTQ employees and customers deserve to be seen, valued and
respected not only at work, but in every aspect of daily life."
Added Thomas-Petit, "This recognition only encourages us to
remain as committed as ever to championing workplace
equality. Actions speak louder than words, and we remain
steadfast in our efforts to create a better, more just world of
work."
The announcement comes on the heels of ADP's inclusion in
Bloomberg's 2020 Gender Equality Index (GEI), a global study on
gender equality examining data on 325 companies across 42 countries
and regions.
