January 28, 2014 (Cincinnati, OH) – In a recent survey conducted by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) for its annual Corporate Equality Index (Index), Frost Brown Todd LLC was ranked as one of Cincinnati’s most LGBT-friendly companies.  Frost Brown Todd scored a 90 out of a total 100 points on the survey.

The four main criteria measured by the Index are whether the companies:

Provide equal benefits for same-sex partners and spouses

End benefits discrimination for transgender employees and dependents

Demonstrate firm-wide organization competency on LGBT issues

Demonstrate firm-wide public commitment to the LGBT community 

The HRC’s Workplace Equality Program survey rated 734 of the nation’s largest businesses for “demonstrating a commitment to LGBT equality and inclusion.”  Kim Amrine, FBT’s Director of Diversity and Inclusion, said, “We have worked hard the last several years to focus more on true inclusion.  We have conducted extensive training for all of our employees about what inclusion means and how every employee’s participation is critical.  LGBT education and initiatives are an important piece of fostering that inclusive environment.”

Jill P. Meyer, Member-in-Charge of FBT’s Cincinnati office, added, “Diversity and inclusion are a priority at Frost Brown Todd.  Our efforts are firm-wide and implemented daily by every individual making up our team. We’re proud to be recognized on the Index and even more proud of what the recognition says about our team members.”
