Adaptive Earns Cornerstone Recognition for LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion in HRC’s 2025 Corporate Equality Index

Francis Lo, Chief People Officer and Sharon Benzeno, Chief Commercial Officer, Immune Medicine

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s 2025 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) is the national benchmark on corporate policies, practices and benefits impacting LGBTQ+ employees. Each year, the CEI is a primary driving force for LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion and provides a valuable and objective score in the adoption of critical measures of an employer’s commitment to workplace equality. Today, we are proud to share that Adaptive Biotechnologies has received a score of 80 out of 100. Adaptive’s 2025 CEI score is an important recognition of our ongoing efforts to enhance workforce protections and inclusivity for our LGBTQ+ team members as well as their families, friends, and colleagues. Adaptive is proudly committed to continually enhancing our programs and our culture of inclusion!

At Adaptive, we focus on the development and commercialization of clinical products that improve people’s lives. We also measure success by recognizing the value of our people, who make it all happen. This is why we are on a mission to perpetually enhance our culture and create an environment that embraces and celebrates individuality. This is because we know that fundamentally, you can’t be your best if you can’t be yourself.

Given our steadfast mission and inclusive culture, we have made meaningful enhancements to our programs and benefits – including gender affirming care benefits, HIV prevention, services and pharmacy benefits, parental leave benefits, and our employee assistance program — and organized them into one LGBTQ+ Benefits Guide for easier accessibility. Additionally, throughout 2024, our PRIDE employee resource group has continued to host a number of social events and speaking engagements focused on how all of us can support, serve, and increase Adapter awareness and understanding of the LGBTQ+ community.


We want to personally thank every Team Member, Manager, and Senior Leader who took steps small and large to thoughtfully create an inclusive culture that allowed this community to be seen, to be celebrated, and to thrive.  And we are particularly grateful to the many members of the Adaptive PRIDE employee resource group who, over the last 5 years, have encouraged and challenged us as a company to continuously raise our bar ever higher.  

As we look ahead, we know that we must always be evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of our Adapters in the years to come.  Adaptive’s mission is to create the best conditions for everyone to bring their whole self to work, optimize their Adapter Experience, and ultimately maximize our collective individual and professional success.
