“It starts with purpose. Our purpose at Korn Ferry is to enable people to exceed their potential. The reality is that no one knows their full potential until given the opportunity,” said Gary D. Burnison, CEO, Korn Ferry. “I’m proud that this award reflects our unwavering values of inclusion, honesty, knowledge and performance.”

“The impact of the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index over its 18-year history is profound. In this time, the corporate community has worked with us to adopt LGBTQ-inclusive policies, practices and benefits, establishing the Corporate Equality Index as a primary driving force for LGBTQ workplace inclusion in America and across the globe,” said Alphonso David, president of HRC.

“We’re happy that our benefits package reflects the needs of our diverse firm including our LGBTQ employees and we want to continue to be proud advocates for the LGBTQ community,” said Brian Bloom, vice president of global benefits for Korn Ferry.
