Hilton Named a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality

Company earns perfect score on HRC’s Corporate Equality Index for
fourth consecutive year

MCLEAN, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hilton (NYSE:HLT)
announced today that it received a perfect score on the 2017 Corporate
Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and report on
corporate policies and practices related to LGBT workplace equality,
administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC). The honor
marks Hilton’s fourth consecutive year earning a percent score on the
CEI, designating the company as a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality
again this year.


We are proud to be named a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality for the
fourth year in a row. This prestigious recognition from HRC underscores
our commitment to recruiting and retaining a workforce that represents
many different cultures, backgrounds and viewpoints,” said Matthew W.
Schuyler, chief human resources officer, Hilton. “As a business of
people serving people, diversity and inclusion have been embedded in our
culture since our founding more than 100 years ago. We look forward to
continuing to champion equality for Team Members, guests and owners
alike.”

Hilton is among 1,043 businesses rated in this year’s report and the
company is one of 517 to receive perfect marks. HRC uses criteria based
in employee benefits, diversity training, employee recruiting and
community engagement to determine CEI scores.

Hilton’s commitment to supporting the LGBT community is shown both
inside and outside of the company:

  • Hilton offers a wide range of diversity and inclusion resources for
    Team Members and executives, including a comprehensive adoption
    assistance program
    , an Executive Diversity Council and a LGBT and
    Friends Team Member Resource Group.
  • Hilton also regularly collaborates with leading organizations
    including HRC, GLAAD, International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association,
    National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, National LGBTQ Task Force,
    Out & Equal Workplace Advocates and Point Foundation.
  • Hilton has been a proud member of the HRC Corporate Coalition Against
    Anti-LGBT Legislation and the HRC Business Coalition for Equality in
    support of the Equality Act. Last year, Hilton was the first
    hospitality company to join the Global Equality Fund, an initiative of
    the U.S. State Department that advances and protects the human rights
    of LGBT persons around the world.
