The Hartford Named A Best Place To Work For LGBTQ Equality For 10th Year
Company earned perfect score on Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s
2018 Corporate Equality Index
HARTFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Hartford has received a perfect score of 100 percent on the 2018
Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and
report on corporate policies and practices related to lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) workplace equality, administered
by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. This marks the 10th
year The Hartford has received this recognition.
“The Hartford is honored to be recognized as a top workplace for the
LGBTQ community,” said Marty Gervasi, The Hartford’s chief human
resources officer. “We are committed to workplace equality and fostering
an inclusive culture, which is vital to employee engagement and the
company’s long-term success.”
The Hartford has a long history of supporting diversity in the
workplace, and proudly supporting the LGBTQ community. Gervasi serves as
executive sponsor of The Hartford’s GLOBE (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and
Transgendered Organization Benefiting Everyone) employee resource group,
which champions the growth and development of its members by providing
the company with a center of expertise for LGBTQ awareness, networking
and business practices. GLOBE is one of The Hartford’s eight employee
resource groups that support diversity and inclusion in the workforce.

workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive
health care benefits, competency programs and public engagement with the
LGBTQ community. The Hartford’s efforts in satisfying all of the CEI’s
criteria results in a 100 percent ranking and the designation as a Best
