Rights Group Names Best LGBT Workplaces

[William769]

(Washington) A record 142 major companies made this year's Best Places To Work List put out by the Human Rights Campaign. The number is an increase of 41 over 2005.

HRC publishes the list annually. All 142 companies this year attained a perfect score on the organization's Corporate Equality Index, which measures policies and practices implemented to promote fairness and equality in the workplace for LGBT employees.

“This is our version of the ‘Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval’ showing that these 142 companies have a philosophy of inclusion and are committed to fairness and equality for all Americans,” said Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign.

“Whether the seal is placed on recruiting materials used to attract new employees or prominently displayed at the entrance of a company’s store, this seal will act as a welcome mat for equality.”
