tool that evaluates corporate policies and practices pertaining to
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and queer (LGBTQ) employees.

Foundation to assess the equal and fair treatment of LGBTQ
individuals in the workplace. Nuance joins more than 680 major U.S.

distinction from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.”

policies in the U.S. and helping to advance the cause of LGBTQ
inclusion in workplaces abroad. The CEI rates companies on detailed
criteria including non-discrimination policies; employment
benefits; demonstrated organizational competency and accountability
around LGBTQ diversity and inclusion; public commitment to LGBTQ
equality; and responsible citizenship.
