PFLAG National has named KPMG LLP, the U.S. audit, tax and advisory services firm, the 2012 Straight for Equality in the Workplace honoree. The corporate awards will be presented at the Fourth Annual Straight for Equality Awards Gala on Monday, April 2nd at the Marriott Marquis Times Square. Straight for Equality--a national outreach and education project created by PFLAG National--invites, educates and engages straight allies to advocate for and support gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) people.
The Straight for Equality in the workplace corporate awards acknowledge organizations with a demonstrated commitment to achieving equality for GLBT people in the workplace by educating and engaging straight allies in creating both policy and culture change.
"We're proud to honor KPMG for their persistent commitment to ensuring that their GLBT employees and their families are treated equitably at work," said Jody M. Huckaby, executive director of PFLAG National. "At KPMG, they've made it clear that exceeding the basics is part of how they do business - from leading their industry in policies, to leading all organizations in efforts like grossing up benefits, to seriously addressing the need for culture change at work, KPMG is a great example of an employer committed to equality at work for all."
