The Hartford Named To 2020 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index For Fifth Consecutive Year

“We are proud to be recognized again for our industry-leading, gender-inclusive policies and practices,” said The Hartford’s Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer, Susan Johnson. “At The Hartford, gender diversity plays an important role in cultivating an environment where everyone feels valued for their uniqueness and can contribute to the long-term success of the company. Our continued focus on maintaining a diverse and inclusive workforce makes us a company of choice for employees, business partners and customers.”

To be considered for the index, The Hartford voluntarily participated in a Bloomberg GEI survey that focused on the promotion of gender equality across five key pillars: female leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity, inclusive culture, sexual harassment policies, and pro-women brand. Companies included in the 2020 GEI have provided a comprehensive look at their investment in workplace gender equality and the communities in which they operate. The Hartford was included in this year’s index for scoring at or above a global threshold established by Bloomberg to reflect a high level of disclosure and overall performance across the framework’s five pillars.

"The 325 companies included in the 2020 GEI have shown their commitment to transparency and demonstrated leadership in gender-related data reporting," said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg. "Disclosure of company statistics and practices is an important first step in supporting gender equality globally."

The Hartford is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where people are respected for who they are, recognized for how they contribute, and celebrated for what they can become. The company has focused investments in talent development initiatives related to diversity and inclusion strategies, including leadership training, mentoring and the company’s nine employee resource groups, which includes the Professional Women’s Network.
