AECOM has been designated as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+
Equality in the United States for the fifth consecutive
year
AECOM (NYSE:ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, announced today that it has maintained its perfect score of
100 on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s 2022 Corporate
Equality Index (CEI) and has been designated as a Best Place to
Work for LGBTQ+ Equality in the United States. The CEI is the
national benchmarking tool on corporate policies and practices
pertinent to LGBTQ+ employees. The perfect score puts AECOM among
the top-ranked firms within its industry for a fifth year.
“We are proud to be once again recognized by the HRC Foundation
for cultivating a strong culture of empowerment and inclusivity
where our people have the opportunity to realize their full
potential,” said Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chief executive officer. “By
bringing together employees with unique backgrounds and
perspectives, our AECOM teams are best positioned to develop
innovative solutions for our clients and deliver sustainable
legacies for communities around the world.”
AECOM’s culture of equity, diversity and inclusion (ED&I)
enables it to better anticipate client needs, understand the
challenges facing the communities it serves, drive innovation that
propels the industry forward and realize its purpose of delivering
a better world. The Company continues to expand understanding and
empathy among employees through employee resource groups, ED&I
events and celebrations, unconscious bias training, and
family-friendly benefit policies, prioritizing social equity and
impact in every project, building leadership accountability and
directing recruitment efforts to ensure a workforce reflective of
the communities it serves.
“AECOM’s designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality
for five consecutive years reflects our deep commitment to
advancing equity, diversity and inclusion throughout our
organization,” said Shirley Adams, AECOM’s chief human resources
officer. “As a leading employer in our industry, we are dedicated
to continue taking steps to foster a workplace environment where
our people feel they belong and can thrive.”
Employers earning top ratings took concrete steps to ensure
greater equity for LGBTQ+ workers and their families in the form of
comprehensive policies, benefits and practices. The CEI rating
criteria have four key pillars:
- Non-discrimination policies across business entities;
- Equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families;
- Supporting an inclusive culture; and,
- Corporate social responsibility.
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation is the educational arm of
the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), America's largest civil rights
organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) people. Through its
programs, the HRC Foundation seeks to make transformational change
in the everyday lives of LGBTQ+ people, shedding light on inequity
and deepening the public’s understanding of LGBTQ+ issues, with a
clear focus on advancing transgender and racial justice.
