The Hartford has been named one of the top 26 financial services companies in the United States when it comes to gender equality.
The inaugural Bloomberg Financial Services Gender-Equality Index measures company gender statistics; employee policies; gender-conscious product offerings; and external community support and engagement.
In order to be considered, The Hartford submitted a social survey created by Bloomberg in partnership with third-party experts, including Women’s World Banking, Catalyst and Working Mother Media. Those included on this year’s index scored at or above 60 points, a global threshold established by Bloomberg to reflect disclosure and the achievement or adoption of best-in-class statistics and policies.
“Evidence demonstrates that gender-equality policies and practices can affect a company’s financial performance, productivity and ability to retain top talent,” said Angela Sun, head of Strategy and Corporate Development at Bloomberg.
