PUBLICIS HEALTH EARNS TOP MARKS IN 2020 CORPORATE EQUALITY INDEX
New York, NY, January 21, 2020 — Publicis Health is proud to announce that in the U.S. Market, it received a score of 100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2020 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation’s premier benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality. Publicis Health joins fellow Publicis Groupe companies Digitas, Leo Burnett, MSL, Publicis Worldwide, Publicis Media, Re:Sources, Saatchi & Saatchi, Publicis Sapient, and Epsilon in receiving top marks.
In response, Pam Berman, Chief Talent Officer, Publicis Health North America stated, “I am proud to part of an organization that has consistently demonstrated a commitment to equality in all forms through inclusive benefits and policies that support our employees and their families.”
“The impact of the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index over its 18-year history is profound. In this time, the corporate community has worked with us to adopt LGBTQ-inclusive policies, practices and benefits, establishing the Corporate Equality Index as a primary driving force for LGBTQ workplace inclusion in America and across the globe,” said HRC President Alphonso David. “These companies know that protecting their LGBTQ employees and customers from discrimination is not just the right thing to do—it is also the best business decision.”
That so many Publicis Groupe solution hubs and companies have continuously scored top marks on the HRC CEI is a result of strong employee-led contributions. Égalité (French for Equality and pronounced eh-gah-lee-tay), Publicis Groupe’s business resource group for members of the LGBTQ community and their allies, has been at the forefront in counseling solution hubs and agencies on how to improve their scores since 2012.
The results of this year’s CEI showcase how 1059 U.S.-based companies are not only promoting LGBTQ-friendly workplace policies in the U.S., but helping advance the cause of LGBTQ inclusion in workplaces abroad. Publicis Health’s efforts in satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria earned a 100 percent ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.
The CEI rates companies and top law firms on detailed criteria falling under five broad categories:
● Non-discrimination policies
● Employment benefits
● Demonstrated organizational competency and accountability around LGBTQ diversity and inclusion
● Public commitment to LGBTQ equality
● Responsible citizenship
