Employee Services
All employees should feel comfortable and safe coming to work. Inclusive policies and practices send vital messages to all employees about their value as organizational members. A culture that includes employees from diverse backgrounds helps employers attract and retain a productive, creative, and innovative workforce. Failure to adopt LGBTQ-specific policies and practices can cost businesses in the form of higher turnover, decreased engagement and productivity, and potential litigation.

Allies and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are employee-led groups organized based on shared characteristics that strengthen employee ties. These groups exist to provide a support network and to create a safe space for employees to be their authentic selves at work. Allies are coworkers who share this common interest who may also join to signal their support of their colleagues and this important workplace community. Our customer support team can advise employees wishing to start an LGBTQ Employee Resource Group (ERG) or provide best practices, guidance, and support to existing ERGs.
