Wyndham Worldwide has been recognized by the Human Rights Campaign as one of the best places to work for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. The brand obtained a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index for the sixth time.

The corporate equality index is based on several principles for equality and inclusion like workplace practices and programs aimed to support an inclusive workplace. The score reflects the brand’s continued commitment to diversity and inclusion with leadership support to employees, partners and customers.

“We believe maintaining an inclusive environment where every person feels able to contribute and deliver their best performance provides us with a rich foundation of perspectives and experiences that benefit our company, our customers and our communities,” said Mary Falvey, executive vice president and chief human resources officer, Wyndham Worldwide. “This is made possible every day by the behaviors, decisions and actions of our leaders and associates who embrace our company’s core values and work to enhance the supportive culture that we have.”

Wyndham Worldwide embraces a culture of inclusion from supporting local LBGT organizations and ensuring associate benefits support their families to take a stand on marriage equality. The brand participates in a variety of programs to cultivate a diverse workplace from community support, associate business groups, customer focus, civic engagement, associate benefits and diversity and inclusion programs.

The CEI rates companies on specific LGBT-related policies and practices like non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs and public engagement with the LGBT community. The CEI has become the gold standard for corporate policies and practices related to LGBT employees and their families.
