Annual rating is the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation's assessment of LGBTQ+ workplace
equality
DUBLIN,
Calif., Nov. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- TriNet (NYSE: TNET), a leading provider of
comprehensive human resources solutions for small and
medium-size businesses (SMBs),, has received a score of 95 out of
100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2023-2024 Corporate
Equality Index, the nation's foremost benchmarking survey and
report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+
workplace equality. TriNet joins the ranks of 1384 major U.S.
businesses that were also ranked in the 2023-2024 CEI.
"TriNet is committed to fostering an inclusive culture for our
colleagues and the SMBs we serve," said TriNet President and
CEO Burton M. Goldfield. "When
we make diversity, inclusion, and most importantly, a sense of
belonging a priority within organizations, the result is more
innovation, creativity, and opportunity for all of us. This ranking
from the HRC is a testament to the work TriNet is doing to support
members of the LGBTQ+ community and beyond."
"For well over two decades, businesses have played an important
role in furthering LGBTQ+ equality by centering employee needs and
voices when it comes to workplace inclusion. While there is much
more work to be done, year-over-year growth in CEI participation is
evidence of a business community that recognizes the responsibility
and value in upholding equity and inclusion," said RaShawn
"Shawnie" Hawkins, Human Rights Campaign Sr Director of Workplace
Equality. "Our goal at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation is to
work in a spirit of partnership with companies, providing
educational resources and leading benchmarking, and collaborating
on ways for businesses to support the LGBTQ+ community at a time
when we face unprecedented legislative attacks, heightened
anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and physical violence. The CEI is an
ever-evolving tool – a blueprint that companies can use to show up
more effectively in supporting their LGBTQ+ employees and their
families."
The results of the 2023-2024 CEI showcase how U.S.-based
companies are promoting LGBTQ+ friendly workplace policies in the
U.S. and abroad. The first year of the CEI included 319
participants, and the 2023-2024 CEI now includes 1,384
participants; further demonstrating the tremendous trajectory of
the CEI, a record-breaking 1,340 businesses have non-discrimination
protections specific to gender identity, up from just 17 in 2002.
These critical non-discrimination protections cover 21 million
employees in the U.S. and around the globe.
The CEI rates employers providing these crucial protections to
over 20 million U.S. workers and an additional 18 million outside
of the U.S. Companies rated in the CEI include Fortune magazine's
500 largest publicly traded businesses, American Lawyer magazine's
top 200 revenue-grossing law firms (AmLaw 200), and hundreds of
publicly and privately held mid- to large-sized businesses.
The CEI rates companies on detailed criteria falling under four
central pillars:
- Non-discrimination policies across business entities;
- Equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their
families;
- Supporting an inclusive culture; and,
- Corporate social responsibility.
