top talent can do the most fulfilling work of their careers. The CEI
provides us with an important barometer of our progress and pushes us to
continue to elevate our efforts.”
The 2019 CEI evaluates companies on their LGBTQ-related policies and
practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic
partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency
programs, and public engagement with the LGBTQ community. FIS received a
100 percent score in satisfying all of the CEI’s criteria.
