WATCH ON DEMAND: Building an Inclusive Workplace & Pride Networks

BritCham's Diversity & Inclusion Committee hosted a digital networking event on 17th March 2021 focusing on LGBT+ inclusion in the Singaporean workplace, 'Pride networks' within organisations, as well as other initiatives supporting LGBT+ inclusion at work.

OBJECTIVES OF THE WEBINAR

From this webinar, we hope to initiate a more visible and accessible discussion between companies to share knowledge and provide guidance to other organisations on how to build an inclusive workplace for people of diverse sexual orientation and gender identity.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

It is believed that there are likely to be numerous internal Pride networks within companies operating in Singapore, however at present it appears that these networks are working in isolation or in small clusters. This means that outside organisations do not have much visibility or opportunity to join. Every network will have different experiences, and stories of their own successes along with lessons learnt.

The intention of this event would be to create a platform for representatives of those networks to share their experiences, their journey and their best practices, no matter where they are in the evolutionary process. Hear personal anecdotes from individuals of how pride networks and other initiatives have had a positive impact on their workplace environment.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

  1. What's really involved & basic requirements to keep a network visible and active
  2. What are the basics to get right & the core deliverables for a network in its infancy
  3. What challenges might we face & overcoming barriers on the journey to making your network a success
