NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Time Warner Cable Inc.

“Time Warner Cable is proud to be a brand and employer of choice in the LGBT community,” said Jerrell Moore, TWC’s Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion. “TWC’s continued commitment to a workplace that is reflective of our customer communities is mirrored in our growing Employee Network membership. Our Employee Networks, including Out@TWC, assist in creating an environment of inclusion and respect, serve as great brand ambassadors for the company and play a significant role in helping TWC execute our vision and strategy for continued success.”
“In this 2016 Corporate Equality Index, hundreds of major businesses responded to our new standards for workplace equality with exceptional leadership,” said Deena Fidas, HRC Foundation Workplace Equality Program Director. “Time Warner Cable not only meets these standards, it goes above and beyond the call of duty, making commitment to equality a fundamental aspect of its corporate values.”

The 2016 CEI rated 1,027 businesses in the report, which evaluates LGBT-related policies and practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs, and public engagement with the LGBT community.
