Preeti D’mello has a simple and effective answer on how employers can make the LGBTQIA+ community feel more included in the workplace?
Inclusion and acceptance is a shared journey. By cultivating a profound sense of belonging and emotional well-being individuals flourish, in turn so does the organisation.
Preeti D’mello, is the Global Head, Culture & Diversity and LeaD Academy, Tata Consultancy Services, she has worked with TCS, for over 30 years with the mission of inclusion without exception. Preeti is a Leadership Coach who spacializes in Positive Organisational Development and Change.
This pride month, we asked Preeti to share her thoughts on, how can employers make the LGBTQIA+ community feel more included in the workplace?
TCS recognizes that a diverse and inclusive workforce is necessary to drive innovation, foster creativity, and guide business strategies. Our continued commitment to Culture and Diversity is reflected in our people with a simple motto, “Inclusion without Exception”.
Respect for individual; one of our core TCS values, encourages us to build a culture of inclusion, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.
In any organization, creating an inclusive workplace environment for the LGBTQIA+ community requires a proactive and ongoing approach. Conducting education, sensitization and awareness sessions that focus on the community is key in this effort.
This, coupled with developing and communicating inclusive policies and having an employee resource group/affinity group for the community, results in a workplace sans discrimination and biases.
We believe in building an organization where everyone feels psychologically safe and can bring their authentic selves to work.
