Bret Scott, Chair of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance at FCA US (l) accepts a Corporate Equality Index Award from Chad Griffin, President of Human Rights Campaign, at a recognition event in New York City on April 17.
FCA US LLC was one of a select group of leading employers to achieve a 100 percent rating on HRC’s 2017 Corporate Equality Index (CEI). The Company has attained a 100 percent CEI rating ten times since the benchmark was established in 2002.
The annual CEI report rates employers on their LGBTQ workplace policies and benefits. A 100 percent rating indicates a company provides full parity for domestic partner benefits, not only in basic medical coverage, but in dependent care, retirement and other benefits that affect the financial and medical well-being of families.
“Solid performance by FCA US on the Corporate Equality Index demonstrates the Company’s commitment to creating and sustaining a supportive and inclusive work culture,” said Bret Scott, Chair of GALA, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance at FCA US. “Scoring a 100 percent on the CEI has been a source of pride for the Company, especially its LGBTQ employee community.”
GALA is one of seven business resource groups at FCA US. These employee-directed groups pursue initiatives that celebrate multicultural differences and bring value to the larger community through volunteer, charitable and strategic activities.
The 2017 Corporate Equality Index report is available at www.hrc.org/cei.
