Agencies Score High Marks on The Human Rights Campaign's 2019
Corporate Equality Index
April 03, 2019 -
Paris - Publicis Groupe [Euronext Paris:
FR0000130577, CAC 40] is proud to announce that in the U.S.
market, Digitas, Leo Burnett, MSL, Publicis, Publicis Media,
Re:Sources, Saatchi & Saatchi, and Publicis Sapient have all
scored a perfect 100 on the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC) 2019
Corporate Equality Index (CEI) survey. This achievement from the
largest US LTBTQ+ civil rights organization, allows all companies
that score a perfect 100 to adopt the designation of "Best Place to Work for LGBTQ
Equality".
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. This year 571 earned top marks
receiving the perfect 100 rating. 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.
That so many Publicis Groupe
solution hubs and agencies have continuously scored top marks on
the HRC CEI is a result of strong employee-led contributions.
Égalité (French for Equality and
pronounced eh-gah-lee-tay), Publicis
Groupe's business resource group for members of the LGBTQ community
and their allies, has been at the forefront in counseling solution
hubs and agencies on how to improve their scores since 2012.
Anne-Gabrielle Heilbronner,
Publicis Groupe's Member of the Directoire and Secretary General
commented: "Every year we look forward to our
participation in the HRC's Corporate Equality Index as a way of
showcasing our dedication to creating inclusive work environments
that are welcoming and engaging of the LGBTQ community. Maintaining
high scores across our agencies is a collaborative effort involving
everyone, particularly talent and HR teams and the leadership team
of Égalité, our LGBTQ business resource group. Building a diverse
and inclusive workplace is a daily priority and part of our
company's core values."
Commenting on the success of so
many Publicis Groupe solution hubs and agencies Sandra
Sims-Williams, Publicis Groupe's Chief Diversity Officer in the
U.S., emphasized that "we can't ever lose sight of
the fact that the success of our business is directly tied to the
performance of our talent. In this fiercely competitive market,
being an employer of choice is not optional, it is a business
imperative in helping to attract and retain top talent. The release
of the HRC's 2019 CEI scores helps validate that Publicis Groupe's
agencies continue to do all that they should, and much more, to
create cultures that embrace members of the LGBTQ
community."
