ROSELAND, N.J., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ADP, a leading
global technology company providing human capital management (HCM)

Corporate Equality Index (CEI), strengthening its designation as a
Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.

inclusion
The 2021 CEI 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. This year, ADP was once again recognized by the
HRC as a preeminent employer for its commitment to workplace
equality and its ability to offer safe and fair working
environments for employees of every sexual orientation, gender
identity and expression. In all criteria for the 2021 CEI,
ADP received the highest possible rating.
"In order to create a world where everyone can thrive, we need
to build workplaces that encourage people to be their true
authentic selves," said Bob Lockett,
chief diversity and talent officer at ADP. "That means embracing
people for who they are and celebrating the diverse perspectives
that drive performance and innovation. It's only when people feel a
sense of belonging that they can realize their full potential. We
are honored to again be recognized for building such a culture at
ADP."
"From the previously unimaginable impact of the COVID-19
pandemic, to a long overdue reckoning with racial injustice, 2020
was an unprecedented year. Yet, many businesses across the nation
stepped up and continued to prioritize and champion LGBTQ
equality," said Alphonso David,
Human Rights Campaign President. "This year has shown us that tools
like the CEI are crucial in the work to increase equity and
inclusion in the workplace, but also that companies must breathe
life into these policies and practices in real and tangible ways.
Thank you to the companies that understand protecting their LGBTQ
employees and consumers from discrimination is not just the right
thing to do—but the best business decision."
ADP embraces all forms of gender identity and expression, race,
ethnicity, nationality, age, sexual orientation, veteran and
disability status. Since 2017, ADP President and CEO Carlos Rodriguez has been a signatory of the CEO
Action for Diversity and Inclusion Pledge, which demonstrates
leadership's dedication to advancing diversity and inclusion within
the workplace. Additionally, ADP's PRIDE business resource group
supports and champions LGBTQ+ associates, and the company provides
benefits that are all-inclusive and awarded to any domestic
partner, a major milestone development in 2019.
To disrupt bias and drive inclusion, ADP has trained its
executives and over 800 hiring leaders in the U.S. on unconscious
bias, with plans to expand across the enterprise in 2021. In
addition, training on inclusive leadership and allyship was
provided to 480 leaders. ADP also launched Hiring for Success, a
new training course designed to teach managers how to interview the
right way, reinforcing the messages of unconscious bias training,
and implemented diverse interview panels and diverse slates to
minimize bias and systemic barriers for historically marginalized
or underrepresented groups, including LGBTQ+.
