NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), announced today that, for the 14th
consecutive year, it has earned a perfect score of 100 percent on the
2019 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) — a national benchmarking survey and
report on corporate policies and practices related to lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) workplace equality.
“Fostering an inclusive workplace where employees feel safe and
comfortable being their authentic selves enables us to better serve our
increasingly diverse customer base as we work to fulfill our vision to
be America’s Retirement Company®,” said Voya’s Kevin Silva,
executive vice president and chief human resources officer. “Whether
through our policies or benefits, we are committed to ensuring all
employees have the equal resources and opportunities to succeed. We are
proud to be recognized for the 14th consecutive year as a
‘Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.’”
The survey, administered by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation,
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. Voya’s efforts in satisfying
all of the CEI’s criteria earns it a “100 percent” ranking and the
designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.
