Charter operator JetSuite and its affiliated hop-on jet service JSX secured scored a 100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2020 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), placing them among those with the designation of “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality." The index is based on an established benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality.
“Receiving a perfect score for our LGBTQ inclusive workplace policies, practices, and benefits from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2020 Corporate Equality Index is one of the great honors of my 30-plus year career in aviation,” said Alex Wilcox, CEO of JetSuite and JSX. “We are always looking for passionate individuals from varied backgrounds to join our team, and we believe that our dedication to diversity and inclusion makes us well-rounded leaders in aviation."
CEI rates organizations on non-discrimination policies, employee benefits, LGBTQ inclusion and diversity competency and accountability, public commitment to equality, and responsible citizenship. This year’s CEI results highlight more than 1,000 U.S.-based companies that are not only promoting LGBTQ-friendly workplace policies in the U.S. but helping advance the cause of LGBTQ inclusion in workplaces abroad.
Among these efforts, JetSuite president Stephanie Chung addressed The National Gay Pilots Association (NGPA) Industry Expo in 2019, commending the organization’s initiatives to LGBTQ representation in the workplace.
