Insurer is No. 14 out of 500 companies overall
The Hartford is the highest ranked property-casualty insurance
company in Forbes’ second annual list of America’s Best Employers
for Diversity, announced this week. The Hartford ranked 14th
overall in the list of 500 companies representing a broad array of
industries nationwide.
“We are honored to be recognized for our commitment to diversity
and inclusion,” said The Hartford’s Chief Diversity & Inclusion
Officer, Susan Johnson. “At The Hartford, we’re committed to
cultivating a diverse workforce and inclusive workplace. We believe
both are essential to our ability to relate to and serve the wide
range of customers and stakeholders who rely on us, and to attract
the top talent we need to power our company forward.”
The Hartford is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive
workplace where people are respected for who they are, recognized
for how they contribute, and empowered to engage and collaborate at
work. The company focuses investments in talent development
initiatives to support diversity and inclusion strategies,
including leadership training, mentoring and the company’s nine
employee resource groups.
The Hartford has received accolades for diversity and inclusion,
including:
- Named to the 2019 Bloomberg
Gender-Equality Index (GEI) for the fourth consecutive year. To be
considered, The Hartford voluntarily participated in a Bloomberg
GEI survey that focused on the promotion of gender equality across
four key areas: company statistics, policies, community engagement
and products and services;
- Recognized as a Best Company for
Multicultural Women by Working Mother in 2018, which is a ranking
of companies focused on helping women of color thrive in the
workplace;
- Achieved a 100 percent on the 2018
Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and
report on corporate policies and practices related to lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) workplace equality,
administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. This was the
10th time The Hartford received the CEI recognition.

Methodology
Forbes partnered with Statista, a market research company, to
create the list based on surveys of 50,000 Americans working for
businesses with 1,000 or more employees. The survey respondents
were asked to rate their organizations on criteria such as age,
gender, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation equality, as
well as that of general diversity, according to Forbes. Survey
responses were reviewed for survey gaps. For example, if a minority
group rated an organization poorly on diversity, but non-minority
groups gave the organization high marks, Statista took that
information into account. Additionally, the final ranking of 500
employers also factors in diversity on the board of directors and
among the executives as well as the most proactive diversity and
inclusion initiatives.
