Rockwell Automation, the world's largest company dedicated to industrial automation and information, proudly announced that it received a perfect score of 100 percent on the 2016 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to LGBT workplace equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. Rockwell Automation joins the ranks of 407 major U.S. businesses which also earned top marks this year.

"Rockwell Automation is delighted to be recognized with a perfect score on the Corporate Equality Index for the fourth year in a row," stated Ed Seaberg, vice president information technology and co-sponsor of ROKout LGBT & Allies Employee Resource Group. "We continue to raise the bar on our practices to support awareness and inclusion, to enable all employees to bring their full selves to work, and do their best work every day."

The 2016 CEI rated 1,027 businesses in the report, which evaluates LGBT-related policies and practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs, and public engagement with the LGBT community. Rockwell Automation's efforts in satisfying all of the CEI's criteria results in a 100 percent ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality.

"In this 2016 Corporate Equality Index, hundreds of major businesses responded to our new standards for workplace equality with exceptional leadership," said Deena Fidas, HRC Foundation Workplace Equality Program Director. "Rockwell Automation not only meets these standards, it goes above and beyond the call of duty, making commitment to equality a fundamental aspect of its corporate values."
