Human Rights Campaign
The Human Rights Campaign and its Foundation advocate for equality and liberation for LGBTQ+ individuals by mobilizing support for pro-equality leaders and policies, fostering understanding through education and visibility, and promoting inclusive practices across institutions such as schools, workplaces, and communities. As the largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization in the U.S., they aim to create lasting change in systems shaping everyday life.
The Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index (CEI) is a national benchmarking tool that evaluates employers on LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion. The index assesses participating organizations on factors such as non-discrimination policies, equitable benefits, inclusive workplace culture, and corporate social responsibility, helping job seekers identify employers that have demonstrated a commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ employees.
Who should use this resource:
LGBTQ+ students and allies who want to learn more about an organization’s workplace policies and practices before applying for internships or jobs. This resource is particularly helpful for students considering multiple employers and looking to better understand how companies support LGBTQ+ employees through benefits, policies, and workplace initiatives.
Why it’s helpful:
The Corporate Equality Index provides an additional lens for evaluating potential employers beyond job responsibilities and salary. It can help students identify organizations with established LGBTQ+ inclusion efforts, compare employers, and make more informed decisions about workplaces that align with their personal values and professional goals. While no rating can fully capture an organization’s day-to-day culture, the CEI offers a useful starting point for researching workplace inclusivity.
