Discover named a top workplace for LGBTQ equality

RIVERWOODS - For the eighth consecutive year, Discover Financial Services has been named a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality and earned a perfect 100 score from the Human Rights Campaign's Annual Corporate Equality Index.

The index is a national benchmarking survey and report that measures corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality and inclusion. The report provides an in-depth analysis and ratings of U.S. employers.

"Growing up in San Francisco, my earliest memories include a vibrant culture where LGBTQ+ members were accepted, supported and celebrated, and I want to continue to ensure that we reflect that same spirit of inclusion here at Discover," said Roger Hochschild, CEO and president of Discover. "We work hard to ensure that Discover is a community where every employee feels like they belong and will be accepted for who they are."

More than 1,000 companies are analyzed by the index.
