Corporate Equality Index for fourth consecutive year
HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV)
today announced that it has earned a perfect score on the 2019 Corporate
Equality Index (CEI), maintaining its designation as a Best Place to
Work for LGBTQ Equality. The CEI is a national benchmarking survey
administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation that evaluates the
corporate policies and practices related to lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender and queer (LGBTQ) employees.
“Diversity and inclusion is a business imperative for us, because when
employees feel comfortable bringing their whole selves to work, they
feel confident in sharing their perspectives, which yields greater
insights and better outcomes,” said Fred Colon, Chief Diversity &
Inclusion Officer at Travelers. “We’re committed to not only increasing
diversity among our workforce but also to fostering an inclusive
environment where all employees feel valued, respected, supported and
empowered. We’re honored to be recognized by the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation for our efforts.”
Travelers maintains several initiatives to encourage a diverse and
inclusive environment, such as its employee-led diversity networks,
which are focused on attracting, retaining and developing all employees.
The company’s LGBT & Allies Diversity Network was launched in 2012 to
raise awareness of LGBT-related issues through education, networking and
business initiatives. Since its start, the network has grown to include
more than 2,000 members.
