  Taking HRC's State of the Workplace Report to the Next Level

  While the State of the Workplace report is technically separate from HRC's Corporate Equality Index (CEI), it does help demonstrate the difference efforts like the CEI and the broader workof LGBT rights advocates are making in corporate policies.
  
  Another gap that's grown up since the establishment of the Corporate Equality Index exists around eliminating the exclusion of much-needed healthcare benefits for transgender workers in corporate healthcare plans.  The most recent CEI, released last fall, took the interim step of highlighting businesses whose insurance plans covered most medically necessary treatments.  Forty-nine businesses submited sufficient documentation to be highlighted in this way.  This step will hopefully help prepare businesses for the next evolution of the CEI criteria, to be announced soon.
