Regions Bank Named a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality

Scored 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index for the third consecutive year.

By Evelyn Mitchell | January 27, 2022

Regions Bank is pleased to announce it has received a score of 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2022 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality.

“We’re so proud to have earned a 100% on the Corporate Equality Index for a third consecutive year,” said Clara Green, head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Regions. “This designation reflects the commitment of our leaders and associates to create a culture of inclusion and belonging, and provide meaningful workplace protections and benefits to all. We know that diverse teams are stronger teams, and we will continue working diligently to support our LGBTQ+ associates.”

Regions is one of more than 840 major U.S. businesses that received top marks in this year’s survey, earning the title of being a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality.

Among examples of Regions’ support for LGBTQ+ colleagues and community members:

  • In commemoration of LGBTQ+ Pride Month, in 2021, Regions associates voiced their support for – and pride in – the LGBTQ+ community.
  • Regions supports organizations that serve LGBTQ+ people and make life better for the communities the bank serves.
  • Advice, guidance and financial education specific to the LGBTQ+ community can be found on regions.com.

The CEI rates companies on detailed criteria falling under four central pillars:

  1. Non-discrimination policies across business entities.
  2. Equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families.
  3. Supporting an inclusive culture.
  4. Corporate social responsibility.

The full report is available online at www.hrc.org/cei.

“I’m very appreciative and fortunate that Regions provides a workplace where I feel comfortable being authentically me. This inspires me to bring my best self to my work every day. Regions has made tremendous progress to support our LGBTQ+ workforce over my four years here, during which I married my husband. From support as fundamental as employee benefits to the feeling of belonging and inclusion, Regions is proud to be a great place for LGBTQ+ people to build a career.”

–Jeff Hodges, Talent Management Program Manager
