Our purpose and ongoing agenda is to create a culture where everyone can come to work and be their authentic self, have equal opportunities to learn and progress and have their perspective represented in decision making across all levels of the company.
It’s important that our employees across the business feel and see change happening and so this June, we will be joining in the celebration of Pride Month so that our LGBTQ+ colleagues, both present and future, know that they are a part of a safe and supportive workplace and that diversity is embedded in the core of the company.
What is Pride?
Pride is an event that takes place annually in June across the world in honour of Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender and Queer {LGBTQ+} communities following the Stonewall riots back in 1969. During Pride month there are usually parades, concerts and marches and Global Pride Day is celebrated on 27 June.
Pride is a celebration of people coming together in love and friendship, to show how far LGBTQ+ rights have come, and how in some places there's still work to be done. Pride is all about being proud of who you are no matter who you love.
What are the Carey Group doing to celebrate?
Across the month you should keep your eyes peeled for activities taking place across the business which we’ll share on our website and LinkedIn.
