A blueprint for effectively supporting LGBTQ+ employees and their families
“For well over two decades, businesses have played an important role in furthering LGBTQ+ equality by centering employee needs and voices when it comes to workplace inclusion,” said RaShawn “Shawnie” Hawkins, the Human Rights Campaign’s senior director of workplace equality. “The CEI is an ever-evolving tool–a blueprint that companies can use to show up more effectively in supporting their LGBTQ+ employees and their families.”
Avita Care Solutions is committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work each day without fear of discrimination or harassment, says Avita CEO Michael Yount. “We understand that the needs of the LGBTQ+ community are deeply personal and complex and strive to offer a company culture that nurtures each team member as an individual,” he says.
Yount also emphasized the importance of continuously learning and adapting to the needs of Avita’s team members. “Achieving a perfect CEI score would not be possible without our team’s constructive feedback, dedication to treating everyone with dignity and respect, and drive to build compassionate care in everything they do,” he says.
