The HRC Corporate Equality Index is an annual assessment of how well companies around the country rank for LGBTQ equality in employee hiring and support.

Three Valley businesses, GoDaddy Inc., law firm Snell & Wilmer and the University of Phoenix, an online education company, earned a 100% score and the distinction of being a “best place to work for LGBTQ equality.”
