Equality Index
FAIRFAX, Va, Jan. 29, 2021
/CNW Telbec/ - CGI's (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A) operations in
the United States received a
perfect score of 100 in its debut in the Human Rights Campaign
Foundation's 2021 Corporate Equality Index, the nation's foremost
benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and
practices related to LGBTQ + workplace equality. CGI proudly values
its corporate culture of diversity, equity and inclusion in the
workplace and is honored to be among the select organizations
recognized with such distinction.
"CGI is proud of a continued culture that promotes diversity,
mutual respect and corporate responsibility," stated Tim Hurlebaus, President of CGI Federal. "We're
honored to achieve a perfect score and stand with other
diversity-forward companies on this list, which formally recognizes
our commitment to the LGBTQ+ community through our Pride@CGI
members resource group and other Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
initiatives."
CGI's Pride@CGI member resource group seeks to foster and
support an inclusive and psychologically safe environment for all
CGI members, regardless of gender expression, gender identity or
sexual orientation. The group, which uses organization-wide
governance and processes to raise multi-departmental awareness
across CGI's U.S operations, a quarterly newsletter,
organization-wide educational events, panels and workshops,
shepherded the organization's first-ever submittal in consideration
for HRC's Corporate Equality Index. Pride@CGI has also represented
CGI at DCPride, Alabama's Trojan
Pride, and collectively supported efforts supporting LGBTQ+
youth.
"We have made great strides in a short amount of time,"
commented Stephanie LaBonte, CGI's
Human Resources Operations Manager and founding member of
Pride@CGI. "Receiving a perfect score on the Corporate Equality
Index not only demonstrates CGI's existing enthusiasm and policy
support, but this public recognition also acknowledges the work of
Pride@CGI has done to increase awareness of and sensitivity to
LGBTQ+ concerns at work."
Launched in 2002, the HRC Foundation's Corporate Equality Index
has become a roadmap for equality in the workplace. The HRC
Foundation is committed to keeping the criteria for the index
rigorous, fair and transparent by identifying emerging best
practices that improve the experiences of LGBTQ+ employees of
participating businesses.
