The document summarizes new criteria for the 2012 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) that aims to advance LGBT equality in the workplace. Key changes include requiring non-discrimination policies that cover gender identity, equal benefits for transgender individuals and domestic partners, and organizational competency in LGBT inclusion. The new criteria also emphasizes public commitment to LGBT equality through engagement, advertising, and philanthropy. Over 80 major employers already offer transgender-inclusive health plans under CEI 2011 guidelines.
