Corporate Equality Index 2026
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s State of the Workplace for LGBTQ+ Americans and Corporate Equality Index 2026 provides a research‑based snapshot of LGBTQ+ experiences in U.S. workplaces and a national benchmark of corporate policies, practices, and benefits pertinent to LGBTQ+ employees.
The State of the Workplace for LGBTQ+ Americans is a research‑based assessment of workplace protections, policies, and lived experiences across the United States. It offers insight into the current landscape of LGBTQ+ inclusion and the external factors shaping employer efforts. Complementing this analysis, the Corporate Equality Index serves as a national benchmark for corporate policies, practices, and benefits, tracking more than two decades of sustained progress and illustrating how employers continue to strengthen their commitments to workplace equality.
