Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging

weLGBT is a platform to inspire, enable exchanges, and provide support and information for members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and their allies who wish to support these goals. Together, we create  projects to promote the visibility of LGBTQIA+ and advocate for equality through actions and incentives like:

• DE&I Week information events
• Establishing gender-neutral restrooms
• Showing continued support and advocating at pride events
• Staying informed, inclusive, and consulting with the LGBTQIA+ community on internal projects, such as gender communication guidelines

Balancing family and career is challenging. To help our colleagues, we provide flexible work hours, assistance in finding daycare, and workshops on family topics. Through our weFAMILY community, colleagues can share ideas and connect both in-person and online.

We encourage our people to provide feedback so we can continually improve. Our colleagues can anonymously share their thoughts - from criticism and praise to insights and  tips on all DE&I-related topics. We use this valuable feedback to  create balanced, safe spaces, while countering discrimination, and creating a working environment that actively promotes and embraces diversity.

Together with Socialbee, we educate and empower talented women with a refugee background to become qualified project managers, within a year, and then welcome them to our agency as valued colleagues. Diversifying in this fashion, enables us to welcome people with future-focused skills to our teams and help them succeed. It also simultaneously strengthens our commitment to creating  inclusive work spaces with opportunities for all.

We also collaborate with Employers for Equality to raise awareness about relevant DE&I topics, identify how to meet specific diversity challenges, and educate through training and workshops. And all Gender Equality and Diversity Program talks are available to our Serviceplan Group colleagues for free.
