T-Mobile obtiene un puntaje de 100% en el Corporate Equality Index de Human Rights Campaign
Bellevue, Washington – March 28, 2019 – For the 7th consecutive year, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) has received the highest possible score of 100 percent on the Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and report on business policies and practices related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) workplace equality that is administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. As part of the methodology, HRC surveys nearly 1,000 public and private business on non-discrimination policies; equitable benefits for LGBTQ workers and their families; internal education and accountability metrics to promote LGBTQ inclusion competency; and, public commitment to LGBTQ equality.
"At T-Mobile, inclusion is such an important part of who we are and what we stand for. We are so appreciative that we are being recognized for something that we care so deeply about and appreciate that our investment providing our employees with a supportive work environment has been rewarded with the 100% CEI score by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. There is no doubt that our diverse employees are the heart of who we are and the reason the Un-carrier has been so successful!!" said John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile.
T-Mobile currently has six diversity and inclusion employee network groups, including one specifically focused on supporting and advocating for the LGBTQ community. Between its stores, call centers and regional business offices, the Un-carrier has more than 22,000 employees (43% of all employees) across the country that participate in Diversity & Inclusion chapters - this number has doubled since 2017! T-Mobile's Pride & Allies Network provides a collaborative space for LGBTQ employees and allies to network, share experiences and have fun. The Pride & Allies Network helps identify opportunities for professional development, develops educational programs on matters of importance to the LGBTQ community and assists the business with outreach to employees and customers. T-Mobile is also a major PRIDE event sponsor, supporting nearly 80 events around the country in 2018.
T-Mobile intends to continue its strong commitment to diversity and inclusion as it transitions to become the New T-Mobile following its pending merger with Sprint. For example, the company recently agreed to partner with the National Diversity Coalition in California after the merger is complete to expand the company's planned initiatives, including those supporting LGBTQ communities.
Over the last five years, T-Mobile’s Un-carrier movement has changed the wireless industry for good, bringing even more choices to consumers. The Un-carrier has landed nearly 60 national and local workplace awards in 2018, including Best Places to Work honors for LGBTQ, parents, diversity, women, Hispanics and more -- and is ranked #49 on FORTUNE’s 100 Best Companies to Work For in 2019 list.
