The Human Rights Campaign awarded AXA a perfect
score on its 2018 Corporate Equality Index for the Fifth Year in a
Row
AXA, a leading financial protection company, has achieved a
perfect score of 100 for the fifth consecutive year and has been
deemed one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality by the
Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
The HRC’s Corporate Equality Index is the national benchmarking
survey and report on corporate policies and practices pertinent to
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer employees.
“We encourage people to be themselves and express their
truth—it’s part of our DNA at AXA,” said Marine de Boucaud, Chief
Human Resources Officer, AXA US. “It is an honor to join other
accomplished organizations in being recognized by the HRC, and to
stand with our LGBTQ employees, clients and families.”
AXA has offered health-care benefits to same-sex couples for
more than a decade, and the company covers same-sex couples in its
parental leave policy. AXA Pride, an employee resource group
founded in 2009, creates and sustains an AXA presence in the LGBTQ
community to drive business results and promote equality for all
employees. Through partnership with AXA Pride, AXA has been
a gold sponsor of NYC Pride since 2014, with a large
employee contingent participating each year in the NYC Pride
Parade.
The company’s retail field force, AXA Advisors, LLC, hosts an
annual summit that provides an educational forum for financial
professionals to discuss how to best serve the financial and
retirement needs of the LGBTQ community. Many of the company’s
professionals specialize in retirement planning for same-sex
couples and their families.
“After nearly 30 years in the industry, I know firsthand how
critical it is for financial professionals to find an inclusive
company that understands the unique planning needs of the LGBTQ
community,” said Ellen Desarno, a financial professional with AXA
Advisors. “I’m proud to work for an organization that supports an
open and collaborative culture which in turn helps us to better
serve our clients.”
The HRC survey and report evaluate LGBTQ-related policies and
practices including non-discrimination workplace protections,
domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care
benefits, competency programs, and public engagement with the LGBTQ
community. Employers who receive a score of 100 satisfy all of the
CEI’s criteria and receive the designation as a Best Place to Work
for LGBTQ Equality. AXA is also included in HRC’s Buying for
Workplace Equality Guide.
