CA Technologies received a perfect score of 100 percent on the 2015 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to LGBT workplace equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation. CA joins the ranks of 364 major US businesses which also earned top marks this year.
“We are honored to once again be named as a Best Place to Work for LGBT employees by the HRC,” said Guy Di Lella, CA Chief Human Resources Officer. “We know that diversity of perspective, experience, and thought are imperative to driving business results – and work hard to create an environment where all employees can leverage their uniqueness and full potential, every single day. From our unique work culture to our progressive benefits and policies, CA Technologies is a committed champion and advocate of LGBT community.”
The 2015 CEI rated 972 businesses in the report, which evaluates LGBT-related policies and practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs, and public engagement with the LGBT community. CA’s efforts in satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria results in a 100 percent ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality.
CA supports its LGBT employees with programs, policies and benefits that include:
• Participation in the HRC’s Employee Nondiscrimination Act Business Coalition to advocate for LGBT workplace equality.
• Hosting of an LGBT Inclusion Team to foster diversity and allow employees to share information, recognize achievements and interact with fellow employees.
• Offering health insurance plans which afford coverage for transgender surgery including the full range of medically necessary services and treatments as outlined by the current World Professional Associate for Transgender Health Standards of Care.
• Providing full healthcare benefits for domestic partners and adoption assistance up to $10,000 for all employees.
• Supporting the LGBT lunch at the Anita Borg Institute’s Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing Conference for the last 5 years.
• Prohibiting philanthropic giving to non-religious organizations that have a written policy of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and/ or gender identity.
• Engaging in targeted recruiting efforts to the LGBT community every year with organizations like The San Francisco Community Center and LGBT Center in NYC.
• Requiring US contractors to abide by our inclusive non-discrimination policy.
The HRC is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.
