Factors affecting the rating include non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs and public engagement with the LGBT community.
“Harris is proud of this recognition because it reflects our company’s mission and values, and our belief that employee diversity is a great strength,” said Bob Duffy, senior vice president of Human Resources and Administration.
