On the web page for accelerating global equity, the foundation writes, “In the 20-year history of the Corporate Equality Index, survey data has explicitly shown that having an inclusive workplace is beneficial to a company’s success. The data doesn’t lie – being an LGBTQ+ inclusive1 employer positively impacts recruitment, retention, engagement and, overall, total revenue.”
The criteria are based on four criteria points: responsible citizenship, supporting an inclusive culture plus corporate social responsibility, inclusive benefits and workplace protections.
Tesla HR Head Valerie Capers Workman stepped down in January, after personally helping Musk and Tesla establish its first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion report in 2020.
