Chicago, Ill. Jan 8, 2025 |
Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading cloud-based human capital and technology-enabled services provider, today announced it has achieved a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index (CEI) for its fifth consecutive year. The CEI is the nation's foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality.
"A perfect score on the CEI highlights Alight's commitment to creating safe spaces for our LGBTQ+ colleagues and advancing inclusive initiatives throughout the organization," said Xan Daniels, global inclusion and diversity leader at Alight. "Our dedication to ensuring continued access to care for LGBTQ+ colleagues has been instrumental in earning this recognition. At Alight, we believe that treating all colleagues and clients with respect, accountability and awareness of how our actions impact the lives of millions is at the core of our values."
The CEI rates employers providing these protections to more than 22 million U.S. workers and includes Fortune magazine's 500 largest publicly traded businesses, American Lawyer magazine's top 200 revenue-grossing law firms (AmLaw 200), and hundreds of publicly and privately held mid- to large-sized businesses. The CEI rates companies on detailed criteria falling under four central pillars:
"The CEI is so much more than a score on paper. For decades businesses have relied on the CEI as a tool for transparency and leveling the playing field for all workers, making sure LGBTQ+ people and their families can share in fair, respectful and supportive workplaces and benefits," said RaShawn "Shawnie" Hawkins, SHRM-CP, HRCF senior director of workplace equality. "As conversations evolve on corporate America's approach to diversity, equity and inclusion, year-over-year growth in CEI participation is evidence of a business community that largely recognizes the responsibility and value in upholding equity and inclusion. Our goal at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation is to work in a spirit of partnership with companies, providing educational resources and leading benchmarking. The work of the CEI is to help businesses to expand their consumer base and attract top, innovative talent by supporting the LGBTQ+ community."
