MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Horizon National Corporation (NYSE:FHN) today announced that it was included in the 2020 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI). The Index recognizes public companies for their commitment to supporting gender equality and advancing women.

“First Horizon strives to create a workplace where all employees feel accepted and valued,” said John Daniel, executive vice president and chief human resources officer at First Horizon. “We believe that championing diversity and inclusion fosters a more creative and innovative workforce. We are proud to be included in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index and thank them for this recognition.”

First Horizon’s strategic approach to diversity and inclusion – called its Affinity Strategy – focuses on advancing its impact on its workforce, workplace culture and the marketplace:

Workforce: At First Horizon, women represent approximately:ⁱ

• 55% of manager roles
• 32% of employees in the top three salary levels in the organization
• 30% of the Executive Management Committee
• 21% of the Board of Directors

Workplace culture: The First Horizon Women’s Initiative Employee Resource Group, founded more than 20 years ago, also played a major role in its GEI recognitions. Now with more than 500 members, the Women’s Initiative helps female employees develop leadership skills, facilitate mentor-mentee relationships and network with leaders and executives.

Marketplace: Realizing that women have unique financial needs, First Horizon created Women and Wealth, a private client practice dedicated to empowering women’s financial lives. More information about the practice may be found here.

“First Horizon believes that diversity and inclusion are most successful when integrated into the daily operations of business,” said Lynne Walker, executive vice president and director of affinity strategy at First Horizon. “Our company does not isolate diversity or inclusion as separate initiatives, but intentionally and continuously incorporates diversity and inclusion into our overall culture and business efforts to drive company-wide impact.”
