For the sixth consecutive year, Discover Financial Services
earned a perfect 100 score from the Human Rights Campaign’s Annual
Corporate Equality Index (CEI) and is recognized as a Best Place to
Work for LGBTQ Equality.
Developed to encourage employers to advance inclusive workplace
practices for the LGBTQ community, the CEI is a national
benchmarking tool on corporate policies and is used each year to
rank businesses on their commitment to promoting fairness in the
workplace.
“We’re proud to have a workplace culture that celebrates both
inclusion and innovation,” said Roger Hochschild, CEO and president
of Discover. “We believe bringing together a variety of viewpoints
and backgrounds is the best way to meet the needs of our customers,
and we’re committed to creating an environment where all employees
can feel a sense of belonging.”
Since 2013, Discover’s employee resource groups have been
bringing together members of diverse backgrounds to foster an
inclusive environment and promote company values, personal
development and business results.
PRIDE, the employee resource group supporting Discover’s LGBTQ
community, has led a number of successful initiatives aimed at
giving LGBTQ cardmembers a similar sense of inclusion. In 2015, the
group was behind the marketing effort to offer cardmembers a
rainbow-themed card design, known as the Discover it Pride Card.
Additionally, the group spearheaded Discover’s “We Accept” campaign
which encouraged merchants in areas with large LGBTQ communities to
denote their acceptance of Discover cards with a rainbow-themed
sticker.
Of the total 1,028 companies analyzed by the index, Discover
earned a perfect 100 score alongside 570 other companies.
