Nielsen earned a 100% score on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index (CEI) and was recognized as a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality” for the sixth consecutive year. The CEI is a benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality.
Demonstrating an external commitment to LGBTQ equality was a key criterion to be included in the 2019 index. Over the past year, Nielsen expanded the reporting capabilities of its national TV panel to count same gender spouse and partner audiences. The enhancement was a cross-functional effort, undertaken with significant support from our PRIDE (LGBTQ and allies) employee resource group leaders and members as well as GLAAD. Additional client and community engagement around LGBTQ data was global in scope and focused on how LGBTQ consumers shop and spend. For example, our PRIDE chapters in Germany and Poland released their first-ever LGBTQ consumer reports. These reports measure consumer behavior and shopping trends to illustrate the market importance of the LGBTQ community.
"在尼尔森，员工是我们的优势。如果我们在决定如何发展为客户提供的服务时不听取他们的意见，那将是我们的失职，"尼尔森全球媒体首席商务官兼PRIDE执行赞助商梅根-克拉克恩（Megan Clarken）说。尼尔森全球媒体首席商务官、PRIDE 执行赞助商梅根-克拉克恩（Megan Clarken）表示："我们公司在 LGBTQ 测量方面取得的许多重要进步，都可以直接归功于 PRIDE 领导人和成员的辛勤工作和远见卓识。在未来很长一段时间内，他们将继续成为我们促进平等和接纳的最大资产。
我们的 PRIDE（男女同性恋、双性恋、变性者和同盟者）员工资源小组是我们对内对外围绕男女同性恋、双性恋、变性者和同盟者平等所做的一切工作的核心。该团体活跃在全球 15 个国家，包括欧洲、拉丁美洲和北美洲。最近，PRIDE 还扩展到了亚洲，成立了印度分部。在 PRIDE 领导人和成员的领导下，我们的非歧视政策从地区范围扩展到全球范围，为员工提供基于性取向和性别认同的保护。此外，我们的 PRIDE 团队还影响了我们的企业捐赠政策，该政策禁止公司向基于性取向和性别认同进行歧视的实体捐赠资金。
Our LGBTQ policies and practices have garnered other recognition around the world. Nielsen Poland was recognized as LGBTQ Supporting Employer of the Year in the Natwest LGBT+ Diamonds 2018 Polish Business Awards. Meanwhile, Nielsen Mexico was honored with 2019 Best Places to Work for LGBT by “HRC Equidad Mexico,” the equivalent of the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index. Nielsen Mexico has earned this recognition for two consecutive years.
“We have a responsibility to our LGBTQ associates to consistently evolve our policies to ensure they are on the cutting edge of industry best practices,” said Natasha Miller Williams, Nielsen’s SVP of Diversity & Inclusion. “We rely on HRC and other organizations at the forefront of LGBTQ rights to inform these advancements. When everyone at Nielsen feels empowered, we’re better able to create winning solutions for our clients.”
