ManpowerGroup Named Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality in U.S. for Fourth Consecutive Year

ManpowerGroup receives top marks for LGBTQ equal employment policies and inclusive practices

Mar 28, 2019

MILWAUKEE, March 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) has been named a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality for the fourth year in a row in the Corporate Equality Index (CEI). CEI is a national benchmarking survey focused on corporate policies and practices awarded by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.

"Putting hundreds of thousands of people to work every year is only possible because we embrace diversity of thought, culture and background," said Chris Rowland, ManpowerGroup's Global Diversity Officer. "We're proud to be recognized as a leading employer for LGBTQ equality. We believe businesses have a responsibility to be a positive contributor to societal change, and that means intentionally building diverse and inclusive workplaces. We all have a role to play to ensure people feel comfortable bringing their best selves to work."

The 2019 CEI rated over 1,000 businesses in the report, which evaluates LGBTQ-related policies and practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive healthcare benefits, competency programs and public engagement with the LGBTQ community. ManpowerGroup scored 100 percent in all of CEI's criteria.

The report recognized ManpowerGroup as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality, highlighting:

  • The equal employment opportunity policy that includes sexual orientation and gender identity expression for all operations.
  • Transgender inclusive benefits to company benefits plan, including spouses and domestic partners.
  • A supplier diversity program that supports the inclusion of LGBTQ vendors and suppliers.
  • Elevate: an employee Business Resource Group that works to foster an authentic work environment inclusive to all employees regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

"The top-scoring companies on this year's CEI are not only establishing policies that affirm and include employees here in the United States, they are applying these policies to their global operations and impacting millions of people beyond our shores," said HRC President Chad Griffin. "Many of these companies have also become vocal advocates for equality in the public square, including the dozens that have signed on to amicus briefs in vital Supreme Court cases and the more than 170 that have joined HRC's Business Coalition for the Equality Act. Time and again, leading American businesses have shown that protecting their employees and customers from discrimination isn't just the right thing to do - it's also good for business."

Integrating and including is a critical pillar of ManpowerGroup's Sustainability Plan and purpose - that meaningful and sustainable work has the power to change the world.
