The Hanover Insurance Group has been named a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality” by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation.

The Hanover earned a perfect score on HRC’s 2019 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), which rates corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality. The CEI evaluated companies based on factors including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive healthcare benefits, competency programs and public engagement with the LGBTQ community.

“We’re proud to be recognized as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality,” said Kathleen deCastro, executive vice president and chief human resources officer at The Hanover. “This award is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to foster an inclusive, engaging and positive work environment in which employees are empowered, valued and respected.”
