Sponsored by EY, there will be around 70 events across the five days covering a range of topics and issues dear to the LGBTQ community. in both English and Spanish.
Last year’s conference attracted more than 20,000 people from across the globe wanting to share best practices and learn more about creating inclusive and supportive workplaces.
Alongside a digital careers fair there will be panels and discussions covering topics such as LGBTQ+ inclusion, mental and emotional wellbeing, allyship, and career progression/business opportunities in the workplace.
The great thing is that there will be global experts on hand from every sector with advice and guidance.
Additionally, there will be diverse and ethnicity-specific panels to focus on different intersectional LGBTQ+ community needs and issues, covering disability, generational/age, race/culture (Latinx, South Asian, Black, etc), and more.
It’s an opportunity to mingle with a diverse group of like-minded people united by a goal to make workplaces more inclusive. Delegates attending more than five sessions will receive a free LGBTQ+ Inclusion Certificate of Attendance demonstrating their ‘allyship’ credentials.
That’s right, #WorkPride is back for 2022! Join us from the 20th to the 24th of June for 5 days of panels exploring a variety of topics as we celebrate diversity & inclusion in the workplace, sponsored by @EY_UKI. Sign up now: https://t.co/xXXrMfquJk pic.twitter.com/pbxp6gdRVt
