FIS Named a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality

FIS™ (NYSE: FIS), a global leader in financial services and payment technology, announced today that it has been named a “Best Place to Work” for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) equality by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.

FIS received a perfect score on the 2018 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality.

“We are honored to be recognized by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation for our LGBTQ inclusive workplace practices,” said Gary Norcross, FIS president and CEO, who earlier in 2017 signed the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge on behalf of the company. “The work that we do is enriched by the unique backgrounds, perspectives and experiences of our colleagues. That’s why FIS is committed to fostering diversity and inclusion within our workplace and in the broader communities where we live and work.”

The CEI rated 947 businesses in its 2018 survey. Companies were evaluated for non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs and public engagement with the LGBTQ community.
