Cummins named a best place to work for LGBTQ employees
Cummins received two recent honors for its support of LGBTQ employees and for diversity in general.
The company received a perfect score of 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2020 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), designating the company a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.” Additionally, Cummins has been named to Forbes magazine’s Best Employers for Diversity list.
HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN
Cummins has received a perfect score of 100% on the Corporate Equality Index every year since 2005. The Human Rights Campaign is the largest U.S. civil rights organization for LGBTQ employees. Cummins joins the ranks of more than 680 major U.S. businesses also receiving top marks this year.
Cummins’ perfect score qualified the company for the campaign's new designation as a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.”
“We are proud to be included on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index and designated a ‘Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality,’” said Kelley Creveling, Executive Director - Global Diversity & Right Environment at Cummins. “We work each day to create a diverse and inclusive work environment for all of our employees.”
The campaign says the results of this year’s CEI showcase how U.S.-based companies are not only promoting LGBTQ-friendly workplace policies in the United States but also helping advance the cause of LGBTQ inclusion in workplaces abroad.
“The impact of the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index over its 18-year history is profound,” said HRC President Alphonso David. “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. 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."
FORBES
Cummins has also once again been recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Employers for Diversity for 2020.
The magazine's Best Employers for Diversity are chosen based on an independent survey from a representative sample of 60,000 employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people in their U.S. operations. Respondents are asked questions regarding the topics of age, gender equality, ethnicity, disability, LGBTQA+ and general diversity concerning their own employer .
