In addition, the company received distinction as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.
This marks the second year in a row that Yext has achieved the highest mark on the index, which takes into account criteria including non-discrimination policies, equitable benefits for LGBTQ workers and their families, efforts to support an inclusive culture, and corporate social responsibility.

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."
