Great article, please click on link right below this to read the entire article.

clipped from www.hrcbackstory.org This post comes from Daryl Herrschaft, director of the Workplace Project at the HRC Foundation. Today, we’re releasing the Corporate Equality Index 2010 — our eighth annual report that tracks policies and practices important to LGBT workers at major businesses across the U.S. I’m thrilled to say that, even after losing a handful of 100%-rated businesses to the economic downturn, we have a net gain of 45 businesses that have 100% over last year. That is, a total of 305 100% businesses. Even in a difficult economic climate, businesses continue to embrace LGBT inclusion, yet challenges remain in putting policy to practice. You can read all about it in the report below and at www.hrc.org/cei. Additionally read HRC’s press release. Again, we’ll be posting regularly over the next two weeks, so please check back here at HRC Back Story. You can also sign up for our free HRC Workplace Project e-newsletter to stay on top of what we’re up to.
