global technology company providing human capital management (HCM)

Corporate Equality Index (CEI), strengthening its designation as a
Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality.
See how ADP's culture of inclusion drives
innovation
"We believe in creating an environment that's supportive of each
and every associate and their distinct contributions."
The nation's foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring
corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace
equality, the CEI evaluates 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. ADP once
again received the highest possible rating in all criteria,
demonstrating its continued commitment to workplace equality and
its ability to offer safe and fair working environments for
employees of every sexual orientation, gender identity and
expression.
"Here at ADP, we believe in creating an environment that's
supportive of each and every associate and their distinct
contributions," said Bob Lockett,
chief diversity and talent officer at ADP. "We continuously review
our corporate policies and practices to align with the evolving
needs of all associates and to give them the tools and support they
need to succeed. We are proud to be recognized for our efforts in
building such a culture at ADP."
"When the Human Rights Campaign Foundation created the Corporate
Equality Index 20 years ago, we dreamed that LGBTQ+ workers—from
the factory floor to corporate headquarters, in big cities and
small towns—could have access to the policies and benefits needed
to thrive and live life authentically," said Jay Brown, Human Rights Campaign senior vice
president of programs, research and training. "We are proud that
the Corporate Equality Index paved the way to that reality for
countless LGBTQ+ workers in America and abroad. But there is still
more to do, which is why we are raising the bar yet again to create
more equitable workplaces and a better tomorrow for LGBTQ+ workers
everywhere. Congratulations to ADP for achieving the title of 'best
places to work for LGBTQ+ equality' and working to advance
inclusion in the workplace."
To build a culture where everyone can thrive, ADP embraces all
forms of gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, sexual orientation, veteran, and disability
status. Since 2017, ADP CEO Carlos
Rodriguez has been a signatory of the CEO Action for
Diversity and Inclusion Pledge, which demonstrates leadership's
dedication to advancing diversity and inclusion within the
workplace. Additionally, ADP's PRIDE business resource group
supports and champions LGBTQ+ associates, and the company provides
benefits that are awarded to any domestic partner. ADP has also
trained over 2,000 leaders in mitigating unconscious bias and using
best practices to ensure inclusive hiring.
To help companies advance their DE&I programs to affect
change, ADP hosted a virtual Inclusion Summit discussing the
challenges and opportunities tied to inclusion at work. Keynotes
Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach shared their diverse experiences
and learnings on building resilience to help historically
marginalized or underrepresented groups, including LGBTQ+. ADP
additionally offers guidance and resources to help employers
foster a people-centric culture.
