DALLAS and SAN DIEGO, April 8,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- AMN Healthcare (NYSE: AMN), the
leader and innovator in workforce solutions and healthcare staffing
services, received a score of 95 out of 100 in the 2019 Corporate
Equality Index (CEI), the nation's premier benchmarking survey and
report on corporate policies and practices relating to lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) workplace equality,
administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.
AMN's score reflects a commitment to LGBTQ workplace equality,
with respect to tangible policies, benefits, and practices.
"Equality in the workplace is vital to our team members and to
the success of our company," said Susan
Salka, President and CEO of AMN Healthcare. "AMN has an
active strategy to enhance equality, diversity and inclusion, and
we seek to evolve our strategy based on our success metrics. We are
convinced that we can all achieve our personal and professional
goals only when we capitalize on our differing backgrounds,
experiences, and perspectives, and when we embrace equality in our
workforce, workplace and marketplace."
The 2019 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.
"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. 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."

HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ people are embraced as full
members of society at home, at work and in every community.
