IBM rated most gay-friendly employer for the second time
IT company IBM has been rated the most gay-friendly company to work for by gay rights organisation Stonewall.
The firm was rated best employer in the charity's annual Top 100 Employers List.
It was praised for its "investment in diversity" and Stonewall cited its policy of "intensive" diversity training for line managers.
IBM also won the accolade in 2007 and is the first employer to top the list twice.
The index is based on a range of key indicators including a survey of more than 7,000 gay, lesbian and bisexual employees.
