Every year, the Human Rights Campaign (you know, that “bi-partisan” gay organization) issues a report card on corporate America’s treatment of their GLBT employees. The report ranks companies on seven criteria:
1. Include “sexual orientation” in the non-discrimination policy…
2. Include “gender identity and/or expression” in the non-discrimination policy…
3. Offer health insurance coverage to employees’ same-sex domestic partners company-wide…
4. Officially recognize and support a GLBT employee resource group…
5. Offer diversity training that includes sexual orientation and/or gender identity in the workplace…
6. Engage in respectful and appropriate marketing to the GLBT community…
7. Do NOT engage in corporate actions that undermine the goal of equal rights for GLBT people…
In 2005, 101 companies scored a perfect 100% on the index.
I am pleased to say, I work for one of those companies.
