This is the first year Pega has participated in the benchmarking survey, which this year ranked 1,271 major U.S. businesses representing 38 million employees around the globe. The Foundation scores companies based on their non-discrimination policies; equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ employees and their families; supporting an inclusive culture; and corporate social responsibility. "Inclusion is one of our core values at Pega, and this recognition from the Human Rights Campaign validates that it's not just a word on paper but something we live and breathe every day," said Kate Parente, chief people officer, Pegasystems. "We are proud to receive such a high score in our inaugural participation in this benchmark, and we continuously strive to inspire even more diverse thinking across our workforce to ensure better outcomes for all." Pega strives to cultivate an inclusive culture across its 6,000+ employees around the world.
