3 Ways CSG Fosters Inclusion and Belonging Beyond Pride Month
Pride month may be over, but for companies that care, efforts to prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) don’t end with the close of June. People are at the heart of CSG’s business, and prioritizing employee wellbeing starts with embracing their authentic selves.
Named one of India’s “Best Companies to Work For” for the second consecutive year , CSG is committed to building a culture of belonging that transcends calendar months. See what steps CSG has taken toward understanding and improving employee experiences for our diverse global workforce during Pride month and beyond.
How CSG Makes Inclusion a Year-Round Commitment
Explore three practices that CSG has adopted to reaffirm its support of the LGBTQ+ community in all seasons:
Employee belonging group events
CSG’s employee belonging groups (EBGs) keep an active presence by hosting companywide speakers and events all throughout the year. Hosted by Pride at CSG in partnership with related EBGs, these collaborative series recognize how identities intersect to influence employees’ unique challenges and lived experiences.
Recent events co-sponsored by EBGs at CSG include:
Leading With Love: A Conversation with Nebraska Husker Gymnast Sam Phillips
Break the Stigma: World Suicide Prevention Day
Life Through Trans Eyes with Nikole Parker, Equality Florida
Fireside Chat with Nebraska State Senator Megan Hunt
By venturing beyond the bounds of a single identity, regular EBG events keep LGBTQ+ issue areas top of mind for the broader company well outside of Pride month.
External partnerships
Research shows that that LGBTQ+ women and people of color have consistently more negative workplace experiences than their white and male counterparts . That’s why CSG understands the importance of reinforcing its dedication to supporting marginalized groups and advocating for global human rights.
In addition to creating specialized human resources, like a new LGBTQ+ Benefits Guide, CSG also partners with outside organizations to better serve employees. By making public declarations of support, such as signing the Human Rights Campaign’s Count Us In Pledge , CSG underscores its commitment to taking a stand against LGBTQ+ discrimination.
