LGBTQ+,Benefits,Human Rights Campaign

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) reports an increase in US companies providing strong benefits and protections to LGBTQ+ employees, despite pressure from conservative activists to withdraw from their annual workplace report card. While some major companies like McDonald's have stopped sharing data, the HRC still graded them and found overall progress with more first-time participants and higher scores.

NEW YORK — A national rights group said Tuesday that more U.S. companies are providing strong benefits and protections to LGBTQ employees despite an ongoing effort by conservative activists to get high-profile brands to stop participating in the organization’s annual workplace report card.

“As a result, they are more competitive and more creative while attracting and retaining top talent and widening their consumer base.” The number of companies given official ratings included ones that have said they would pull out of the process.

McDonald’s was among the companies earning the top score of 100.
