Report: Dell, IBM among best for gay, lesbian employees

[Austin Business Journal]

Two large Central Texas employers -- Dell Inc. and IBM Corp. -- are among the country's 56 best major companies for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered employees, according to a new report. Round Rock-based Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) and Armonk, N.Y.-based IBM (NYSE: IBM) achieved perfect scores of 100 in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's third annual report card on corporate America's treatment of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered employees.

Dell is the Austin area's largest corporate employer, with 16,000 workers. IBM is the Austin area's third largest corporate employer, with 6,300 workers. "Corporate America knows that fair treatment for employees is not just the right thing to do, it's good for the bottom line," says Cheryl Jacques, president of the Human Rights Campaign. "These aren't movie ratings. An imperfect score could mean an unfair firing or families without health care."
