Canton, Mass., December 8, 2023 — Point32Health, the parent company of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Plan, announced today it received a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) and has been designated an Equality 100 Award: Leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion. This recognition acknowledges Point32Health’s unwavering commitment to fostering inclusion in the workplace for the LGBTQ+ community.

Administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the CEI is the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality. Point32Health joins the ranks of 545 major U.S. businesses that also earned top marks this year.

“At Point32Health, we are committed to everyone’s right to be respected and included, and we believe celebrating our differences makes an important impact on our colleagues, members and the communities we serve,” said Pete Church, chief people officer at Point32Health. “We pride ourselves on building and growing a community of care and fostering a workplace where everyone belongs.”

The Corporate Equality Index evaluates companies based on their non-discrimination policies, benefit offerings, supporting an inclusive culture, and overall corporate social responsibility. Point32Health’s areas of strength noted by the CEI include its comprehensive and inclusive benefits for LGBTQ+ colleagues and their families as well as the company’s LGBTQ+ Colleague Resource Group, Pride Point.

“For well over two decades, businesses have played an important role in furthering LGBTQ+ equality by centering employee needs and voices when it comes to workplace inclusion. While there is much more work to be done, year-over-year growth in CEI participation is evidence of a business community that recognizes the responsibility and value in upholding equity and inclusion,” said RaShawn “Shawnie” Hawkins, Human Rights Campaign Sr Director of Workplace Equality. “Our goal at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation is to work in a spirit of partnership with companies, providing educational resources and leading benchmarking, and collaborating on ways for businesses to support the LGBTQ+ community at a time when we face unprecedented legislative attacks, heightened anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and physical violence. The CEI is an ever-evolving tool – a blueprint that companies can use to show up more effectively in supporting their LGBTQ+ employees and their families.”

Both Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Plan earned scores of 100 percent on the CEI prior to the combination of these two iconic not-for-profit health care companies.
