Promoting Inclusive behaviours and creating a sense of Belonging

LGBTQ+ is a key component of diversity and inclusiveness at EY. We strongly advocate bringing one’s true self to work and be comfortable in doing so.

In my role as an Ally and a member of the EY GDS D&I council, I had the privilege of supporting a transgender team member come out to his team; it was heartened to witness the applause and encouragement from the entire team acknowledging his journey.

I believe that the first step in showing your support is to build your awareness on the different facets of the LGBTQ+ community. EY signed the global UN LGBTI Standards for Business earlier this year and EY GDS has run multiple webinars to create awareness and encourage people to sign up as Allies.
