“We’re proud that our inclusive culture has been recognized by the Human Rights Campaign for the second year in a row,” said Brian “Skip” Schipper, Chief People Officer at Yext. “We are constantly striving to make Yext a company where every employee has the opportunity to grow her or his career by channelling energy into building great products, creating great customer experiences, and making Yext a strong company for the long run.”

“From the previously unimaginable impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, to a long overdue reckoning with racial injustice, 2020 was an unprecedented year. Yet, many businesses across the nation stepped up and continued to prioritize and champion LGBTQ equality,” said Alphonso David, Human Rights Campaign President. “Thank you to the companies that understand protecting their LGBTQ employees and consumers from discrimination is not just the right thing to do — but the best business decision.”
