Univera Healthcare once again earned high marks from the Corporate Equality Index, a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer workplace equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.
The 2021 index rated 1,142 major U.S. businesses on LGBTQ-related policies and practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs and public engagement with the LGBTQ community.
“We’re proud to be recognized for the seventh year in a row for our inclusive policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ equality,” said Sady Fischer, corporate director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Univera Healthcare. “Diversity, equity and inclusion are fundamental to our mission and culture, and affirming our LGBTQ+ employees and members is part of that mission.
