BURLINGTON, Mass., Jan. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuance
Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN) announced today that it has received
a score of 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2022
Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation's foremost benchmarking
survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices
related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality, which includes a robust set
of practices to support organizational LGBTQ+ diversity. Nuance
joins more than 840 major U.S. businesses that also earned top
scores this year.
Nuance's unwavering support for LGBTQ+ employees is reflected in
its various programs, policies, and resources that are designed to
ensure a safe and supportive environment where every person can be
their authentic selves and thrive. In addition to global policies
that prohibit discrimination of any kind, the company offers
comprehensive packages for employees and their families, including
benefits for same and different-sex spouses and partners, as well
as transgender-inclusive health insurance coverage. The
employee-led Pride Network at Nuance also provides LGBTQ+
employees and allies who celebrate, support, and honor LGBTQ+
communities where they live and work with a platform to come
together, share ideas, experience, and resources, and hold virtual
events. Additionally, the company sponsors events for employees to
attend throughout the year, including the 2022 First Event, one of
the longest-running conferences in the U.S. for transgender and
gender-expansive people.
"We are fiercely committed to creating an inclusive and diverse
environment where all our employees can be their true and authentic
selves as they work together to develop amazing outcomes for our
customers worldwide," said Beth Conway, Executive Vice
President and Chief People & Places Officer. "We are
incredibly proud to receive this distinction from the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation for the fourth consecutive year!"
The results of the 2022 CEI showcase how U.S.-based companies
are not only promoting LGBTQ+-friendly workplace policies in the
U.S., but how those CEI-rated companies with global operations,
like Nuance, are helping to advance the cause of LGBTQ+ inclusion
in workplaces and communities abroad.
This award is the latest in a growing number of global Employer
of Choice accolades that Nuance has recently received, including
