Equality in the workplace is important, not just for the principle of it, but so that employees know their worth to the company is based on merit, and not due to something out of their control. Recognizing that, MGM Resorts have prioritized LGBTQ equality, and as a result have been recognized by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation, as they have revealed in a recent press release.

MGM received a perfect 100 score from the group’s Corporate Quality Index (CEI), indicating that they are an ideal place for LGBTQ persons to work. The score is based on LGBTQ-related policies and practices, benefits, workplace protections, health care benefits, competency programs and public outreach. A perfect score indicates that MGM is doing their best work in all of those areas.

Phyllis A. James, Executive Vice President and Chief Diversity & Corporate Responsibility Officer for MGM Resorts International, said:

“At MGM Resorts we have a long-standing history of making Diversity and Inclusion a priority, we put the action behind our words and we will continue to stand with the LGBTQ community.”
