The HRC CEI is an annual U.S.-based benchmarking tool leveraged to assess corporate policies and practices pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees. The survey captures a comprehensive picture of how companies foster diverse, engaging and inclusive work environments for their LGBTQ talent by asking a wide variety of questions on topics including companies' non-discrimination policies, the availability of transgender-inclusive healthcare benefits, and their support of LGBTQ business resource groups. To account for the changing landscape of legal protections for LGBTQ employees and emerging best practices, the HRC updates its criteria on an ongoing basis.
Publicis Groupe agencies have participated in the HRC CEI since 2006 when Starcom, previously known as Starcom MediaVest Group, was the first network entity to score top marks, paving the way for others to follow. The 2019 survey marks the seventh consecutive year of perfect scores for Digitas; and the sixth consecutive year for MSL, Leo Burnett, Saatchi & Saatchi and Re:Sources. Publicis Sapient also received a perfect score in this year's report, building on more than six years of distinction from HRC. In addition to past recognitions earned by several agencies within Publicis Media, this marks the third year that the Solution hub itself has been recognized as an employer of choice under Publicis Groupe's Power of One organization.
