United is best place to work for non-heterosexual staff: civil rights group

UNITED Airlines has received a perfect 100 per cent score on the Human Rights Campaign's annual Corporate Equality Index (CEI) and was named the "Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality" by the civil rights group.

The CEI rates companies based on their workplace policies towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees.



"At United, our employees represent a rich variety of backgrounds, cultures and experiences," said executive vice president of Human Resources and Employee Relations, Mike Bonds, in a company statement.



"Not only do we embrace the uniqueness of our employees, but we have made it our mission to leverage each individual's differences and talents to create an inclusive work community that can better serve our global customers."



In order to receive a CEI score of 100 per cent, companies must demonstrate a strong commitment to LGBT-related policies and practices. These include non-discrimination protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programmes and robust engagement with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
