CA Technologies Receives Perfect Score in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index
Nov. 16, 2012 09:00 AM
CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today said it has received a 100 percent
rating by the Human Rights Campaign in its 2013 Corporate
Equality Index report, the premiere national benchmark for lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) workplace inclusion, up from 80
percent last year.
The HRC's CEI report, released each fall since 2002, provides an
in-depth analysis and rating of large U.S. employers and their policies
and practices pertinent to LGBT employees.
“We are honored to be recognized by the Human Rights Campaign as one of
the best places to work for LGBT equality,” said Beth Conway, vice
president, human resources, CA Technologies. “CA Technologies
continually updates and improves its programs, policies and benefits to
demonstrate our commitment to a fully-inclusive environment for all of
our employees and our core value of treating every employee with respect
– and equality.”
CA Technologies supports its LGBT employees with programs, policies and
benefits including:
-
Health care benefits to employees and their spouse or same- or
opposite-sex domestic partner;
-
Transgender-inclusive healthcare coverage for 2013;
-
Sessions through the company’s Management and Leadership Academy
called “Bringing Your Authentic Self to Work”;
-
Sponsors the LGBT luncheon at the Anita Borg Institute’s Grace Hopper
Celebration of Women Conference;
-
Membership with the National
Diversity Council, a nonprofit organization dedicated to
championing diversity and inclusion in the workplace;
-
Hosts an LGBT Employee Network Group (ENG) to foster diversity and
allow employees to share information, recognize achievements, and
interact with fellow employees on an informal basis; and
-
Specific recruitment efforts to seek out top LGBT talent including:
the Out for Undergraduate Business Conference and NYC LGBT Career Fair.
“As a member of the HRC Business Council and national Board of
Directors, I know how unfair and discriminatory work environments
inhibit an employer’s ability to recruit and retain the best and the
brightest, stifle job performance and damage productivity” said Meghan
Stabler, advisor, CA Technologies. “As a proud employee of CA
Technologies, I am happy to have partnered with HR and our executive
management in creating a workplace climate where we stress inclusion and
equality.”
