Northrop Grumman Corp., the aerospace giant with a huge South Bay presence, said Thursday that it was honored with a top ranking by the Human Rights Campaign for the company's commitment to diversity and its policies against employment discrimination of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) workers.
Northrop received a 100-percent rating, and was one of 259 companies that received a top ranking this year.
The seventh annual HRC Corporate Equality Index nationally surveyed a broad cross-section of 583 major companies. The organization rated companies based on whether employers have a written non-discrimination policy covering sexual orientation; offer inclusive health insurance, bereavement and family leave policies to employees with same-sex partners; offer diversity training; have GLBT employee resource groups; and engage in advertising and contributions to the GLBT community.
Northrop recently supported the annual Out and Equal Workplace Summit held in Austin, Texas.
