Seyfarth announced today that, for the 12th consecutive year,
the firm earned a perfect score of 100 in the annual Human Rights
Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index (CEI)
and was named a "Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality."
The CEI is the nation's premier benchmarking survey
and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to
LGBTQ workplace equality.
Seyfarth's chair and managing partner Peter Miller remarked,
"At Seyfarth, we strive to be the legal industry's best
example of an inclusive and diverse workplace. I know our attorneys
and staff are extremely proud of this honor and reinvigorated to
continue shaping a firm that embraces all its people."
"It's with great pride that the firm can celebrate the
honor of 'Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality' for the
12th year in a row. Through the work of the wonderful leaders in
the firm's inclusion & diversity action team and LGBTQ
affinity group, Seyfarth has developed inclusion and diversity
initiatives that are positively impacting all of our colleagues and
clients," said Kori Carew, Seyfarth's chief inclusion
& diversity officer.
The 2020 CEI evaluates LGBTQ-related policies and
practices including non-discrimination workplace protections,
domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care
benefits, competency programs, and public engagement with the LGBTQ
community. Seyfarth's efforts in satisfying all of the
CEI's criteria results in a 100 percent ranking and
the designation as a "Best Place to Work for LGBTQ
Equality."
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC) is the educational arm
of America's largest civil rights organization working to
achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual transgender and queer
people. HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ people are embraced as
full members of society at home, at work and in every community.
