Nasdaq Recognized as a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality” for the Second Consecutive Year
January 21 2020 - 10:05AM
For the second consecutive year, Nasdaq received a 100 percent
score on the 2020 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), in recognition of
its inclusive workplace. CEI is the nation’s leading benchmarking
survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to
LGBTQ workplace equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign
(HRC) Foundation.
For 18 years, CEI has evaluated and rated businesses nationwide
on their 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.
“It is an honor to be recognized again by the HRC for our
efforts to sustain an inclusive workplace,” said Bryan
Smith, Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer,
Nasdaq. “At Nasdaq, we work diligently to maintain a
culture that embraces diversity, inclusion, and belonging, offering
an environment where all employees feel connected and empowered to
succeed.”

“The impact of the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality
Index over its 18-year history is profound. In this time, the
corporate community has worked with us to adopt LGBTQ-inclusive
policies, practices and benefits, establishing the Corporate
Equality Index as a primary driving force for LGBTQ workplace
inclusion in America and across the globe,” said Alphonso
David, President, HRC. “These companies know that
protecting their LGBTQ employees and customers from discrimination
is not just the right thing to do -- it is also the best business
decision. In addition, many of these leaders are also advocating
for the LGBTQ community and equality under the law in the public
square. From supporting LGBTQ civil rights protections in the U.S.
through HRC’s Business Coalition for the Equality Act, to featuring
transgender and non-binary people in an ad in Argentina, to
advocating for marriage equality in Taiwan -- businesses understand
their LGBTQ employees and customers deserve to be seen, valued and
respected not only at work, but in every aspect of daily life.”
The 2020 CEI recognized Nasdaq’s LGBTQ-related policies and
practices including its non-discrimination workplace protections,
inclusive health care benefits, and the efforts made by The OPEN
(Out Proud Employees of Nasdaq), Nasdaq’s LGBTQ employee resource
group, to provide Nasdaq employees, their families, and allies with
programs, events, and policies to help its members prosper in their
professional and personal lives.
