Our goal is to listen, engage, and activate voices across ²ÝÁñÉçÇø to ensure that all identity groups and perspectives are represented in our work.

In our new video series, "Dinner With Friends," we're inviting ²ÝÁñÉçÇøers to share candid conversations, listen to understand, and connect as a community. Below, join a group of ²ÝÁñÉçÇøers who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community as they celebrate and discuss PRIDE - in life and at work.

Notes from the table:

Ruth: "This was the first time (ever) that I sat down with a group of people like me and had a conversation about our experiences as someone part of the LGBTQ+ community. I can not tell you how meaningful this was. I’m so grateful that this conversation is part of a much larger one happening at WORK. I'm so grateful for this space."

Nathan: This experience allowed me to really think about how being a part of the LGBTQ+ community has shaped my life from youth to where I am now, and ultimately my future. It also gave me a look into both the lives and the experiences of coworkers to grow my understanding of the different facets of the LGBTQ+ community. I am so thankful for this (and future) opportunities to grow myself and others!

Jahuie: "I am more than ever connected to a group of colleagues who bared their souls about their LGBTQ+ journeys. Our voices can now be amplified to help others understand our community from multiple unique perspectives. I am proud to work for a company who believes in, supports, and celebrates diverse voices."

Tyler: "Being able to be in the company of colleagues that are so bravely authentic was astounding. It was eye-opening to hear how my personal experience intersected with my team members experiences. I am so thankful to have had to opportunity to have a conversation, with amazing people, where we had the unique opportunity to amplify our visibility."

Lisa: "This was a surreal conversation to have in the workplace. Never in my life did I imagine I'd have the chance to talk about my life as an LGBTQ+ person and have it shown to all my coworkers. ²ÝÁñÉçÇø has made me feel seen, valued, and respected for who I really am.  This was a special experience with really special teammates and friends."

THANK YOU to all of our Dinner Guests for participating, sharing, and being great people to work with!
