With its high marks, CBRE is recognized as a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality. CBRE also received a perfect score in last year’s CEI and at that time became the first commercial real estate company to achieve such a score.
“The designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality for a second consecutive year is validation that we are creating a culture of inclusion within CBRE,” said Jennifer Ashley , Global Human Resources Director. “We are honored to serve as leaders in our industry as we strive for greater workplace equality.”
The 2015 CEI rated 972 businesses in the report, which evaluates LGBT-related policies and practices such as non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs, and public engagement with the LGBT community.
CBRE’s LGBT Network Group plays an instrumental role in ensuring CBRE satisfies all of the CEI’s criteria and in engaging with national organizations such as Out & Equal that advocate for workplace equality.
“CBRE’s commitment to create an all-inclusive workplace and workforce is underscored by our various affinity groups, including the LGBT Network Group ,” said Chris Ludeman , Co-Executive Sponsor of the LGBT Network Group . “We are incredibly proud of CBRE’s 100% score on the Corporate Equality Index.”
