Phreesia Named to 2021 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, Highlighting Its Commitment to an Inclusive Workplace

Phreesia, the nation’s leading patient intake management
platform, is pleased to announce that it is one of 380 companies
across 11 sectors included in the 2021 Bloomberg Gender-Equality
Index (GEI). The GEI expanded in 2021 to represent 44 countries and
regions, including firms headquartered in Indonesia and Bermuda for
the first time. Companies range from a variety of industries,
including automotive, banking, consumer services, engineering and
construction, and retail.
“At Phreesia, we’re dedicated to fostering women’s equity and
development at all levels of the organization,” says Amy VanDuyn,
SVP of Human Resources at Phreesia. “We’re honored to be recognized
in the Bloomberg GEI, which reflects our commitment to a diverse
and inclusive workplace.”
The GEI measures gender equality across five pillars: female
leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity,
inclusive culture, sexual harassment policies, and pro-women
brand.
In a recent report, Phreesia shared key gender-equity metrics,
including that more than half of those in middle management are
women, and 41.94% of senior managers are women. Phreesia also has a
high retention rate after parental leave: 90.91% of women who
returned from parental leave during fiscal year 2019 remained
employed a year after their return.
Phreesia promotes inclusion initiatives such as the Phreesia
Women’s Network, an employee resource group with a mission to
engage employees of all gender identities across the company to
continue to grow a healthy and supportive workplace. The network
provides opportunities for mentorship, career development, advocacy
and education for its members.
The Bloomberg GEI brings transparency to gender-related
practices and policies at publicly listed companies, increasing the
breadth of environmental, social, governance (ESG) data available
to investors. The comprehensive, transparent GEI scoring
methodology allows investors to assess company performance and
compare across industry peer groups.
“The companies included in the 2021 GEI are expanding the ESG
data universe to include gender-related data that investors are
demanding today,” said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg.
“Their commitment to disclosure is making the business case for
inclusion, and driving transparency in the markets.”
Through disclosure of gender-related metrics using the GEI
framework, the firms included in the 2021 GEI have committed to
provided a comprehensive look at their investment in workplace
gender equality and the communities in which they operate, raising
the bar of what should be expected from other companies within the
same industry. Phreesia was included in this year’s index for
scoring at or above a global threshold established by Bloomberg to
reflect a high level of disclosure and overall performance across
the framework’s five pillars.
Both the framework and the GEI are voluntary and have no
associated costs. The GEI is a reference index and is not for use
as a financial benchmark. The index is not ranked. While all public
companies are encouraged to disclose supplemental gender data for
their company’s investment profile on the Bloomberg Terminal, those
that have a market capitalization of USD1 billion are eligible for
inclusion in the index. To learn more please visit the GEI
