How 8 Companies Are Celebrating Pride Month and Supporting LGBTQIA+ Employees All-Year Long

This year, New York City Pride announced that the theme of Pride Month was “Strength in Solidarity.” In a time when there is an increase of dangers faced by the LGBTQIA+ community, this theme highlights how important it is to remain resilient, highlight the cultural significance of the LGBTQIA+ community, and acknowledge “every individual’s uniqueness and ability to wield tremendous power when united with others.” 

Uplifting and supporting one another is imperative. And, this month, we’ve featured different stories on the Fairygbodboss blog about how individuals are doing just that. Companies, too, can play an important role in showing solidarity with and supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. Today, we’re highlighting eight companies that are doing just that!

This Pride Month, Alight stands together as a united force, celebrating diversity, equality, and inclusion.

As part of this, their amazing LGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Group, Alight’s Pride Professional Network (PPN), together with Alight’s Inclusion and Diversity team, prepared a global program to ensure that Alight as a whole gets a chance to celebrate, get involved, show support, and seize this opportunity to learn, grow, and honor the rich tapestry of their diverse workforce through a variety of events and activities, as well as through providing meaningful resources.
