Vorys Earns Perfect Score, Named a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality” in the Human Rights Campaign’s 2022 Corporate Equality Index
Vorys has been recognized as one of the top gay-friendly workplaces in the U.S. for the 14th year in a row in the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Corporate Equality Index (CEI). For the fifth year in a row, the firm received a perfect score of 100 in the CEI, which is regarded as the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality. Vorys was also named a 2022 “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.”
“We are proud that the Corporate Equality Index paved the way to that reality for countless LGBTQ+ workers in America and abroad. But there is still more to do, which is why we are raising the bar yet again to create more equitable workplaces and a better tomorrow for LGBTQ+ workers everywhere. Congratulations to Vorys for achieving the title of ‘best places to work for LGBTQ+ equality’ and working to advance inclusion in the workplace,” said Jay Brown, Human Rights Campaign senior vice president of programs, research and training.
Only 11 central Ohio-based businesses, including Vorys, received perfect scores on the 2022 CEI. In addition, Vorys was one of only five Ohio-based law firms to achieve a perfect score in the index.
Each year, HRC releases the CEI. The 2022 CEI scored 1,271 businesses on detailed criteria falling under four central pillars:
- Non-discrimination policies across business entities;
- Equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families;
- Supporting an inclusive culture; and,
- Corporate social responsibility.
