T-Mobile earns 100% score on the Human Rights
Campaign's Corporate Equality Index
For the 7th consecutive year, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) has
received the highest possible score of 100 percent on the Corporate
Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and report on
business policies and practices related to lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender and queer (LGBTQ) workplace equality that is
administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. As part of
the methodology, HRC surveys nearly 1,000 public and private
business on non-discrimination policies; equitable benefits for
LGBTQ workers and their families; internal education and
accountability metrics to promote LGBTQ inclusion competency; and,
public commitment to LGBTQ equality.
“At T-Mobile, inclusion is such an important part of who we are
and what we stand for. We love being recognized for something that
we care so deeply about and appreciate that our investment in
providing our employees with a supportive work environment has
received the 100% CEI score by the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation!” said John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile.
T-Mobile currently has six diversity and inclusion employee
network groups, including one specifically focused on supporting
and advocating for the LGBTQ community. Between its stores, call
centers and regional business offices, the Un-carrier has more than
22,000 employees (43% of all employees) across the country that
participate in Diversity & Inclusion chapters – this number has
doubled since 2017! T-Mobile’s Pride & Allies Network provides
a collaborative space for LGBTQ employees and allies to network,
share experiences and have fun. The Pride & Allies Network
helps identify opportunities for professional development, develops
educational programs on matters of importance to the LGBTQ
community and assists the business with outreach to employees and
customers. T-Mobile is also a major PRIDE event sponsor, supporting
nearly 80 events around the country in 2018.
T-Mobile intends to continue its strong commitment to diversity
and inclusion as it transitions to become the New T-Mobile
following its pending merger with Sprint. For example, the company
recently agreed to partner with the National Diversity Coalition in
California after the merger is complete to expand the company’s
planned initiatives, including those supporting LGBTQ
communities.
Over the last five years, T-Mobile’s Un-carrier movement has
changed the wireless industry for good, bringing even more choices
to consumers. The Un-carrier has landed nearly 60 national and
local workplace awards in 2018, including Best Places to Work
honors for LGBTQ, parents, diversity, women, Hispanics and more --
and is ranked #49 on FORTUNE’s 100 Best Companies to Work For
