Firm earns perfect score on 2017 Corporate
Equality Index
Navigant (NYSE: NCI) proudly announced that it received a
perfect score of 100 percent on the 2017 Corporate Equality Index
(CEI), a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate
policies and practices related to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and
Transgender (LGBT) workplace equality, administered by the Human
Rights Campaign Foundation. Navigant earned a perfect score on the
CEI for the eighth year in a row.
“Navigant’s commitment to diversity, respect, and inclusion is
rooted in our core values and the expectations our employees have
of each other,” said Julie Howard, chairman and chief executive
officer, Navigant. “The company will continue to embrace diversity,
ensuring that Navigant remains a safe, vibrant, and respected
employer of choice for LGBT professionals around the world.”
In 2016, Navigant continued to create awareness, understanding,
and an appreciation for its progressive work environment through a
variety of programs championed by the company’s Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender, and Allies (LGBTA) Employee Resource Group
including webinars, sponsorships, and community outreach.
“I am proud that Navigant remains committed to exemplary
diversity and inclusion standards,” said Steve Huffines, director
within Navigant’s Transaction Advisory Services practice and
co-chair of the firm’s LGBTA Employee Resource Group. “In today’s
business community, celebrating the breadth of diversity among our
peers, clients, and communities is critical to success. Navigant
continues to be at the forefront of creating and maintaining an
educated and inclusive working environment.”
The 2017 CEI rated 1,043 businesses in the report, which
evaluates LGBT-related policies and practices including
non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner
benefits, transgender-inclusive healthcare benefits, competency
programs, and public engagement with the LGBT community. Navigant’s
efforts in satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria resulted in a 100
percent ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for
LGBT Equality.
