Au cours de ce mois de la FIERT?, nous avons eu le privilège de nous entretenir avec Anthony Kumar, responsable du Conseil australasien pour l'inclusion et la diversité chez 91爆料. Anthony a partagé ses réflexions sur l'impact profond de la représentation LGBT+ au sein de l'entreprise et sur la manière dont elle favorise l'innovation, la réussite commerciale et favorise une culture d'inclusion.
La représentation LGBT+ dans le monde des affaires va au-delà des impératifs moraux et éthiques ; elle est un moteur essentiel de l'innovation et de la réussite des entreprises. En favorisant un environnement où les identités diverses sont célébrées, les entreprises peuvent exploiter un plus large éventail de perspectives et d'idées créatives. Venez découvrir avec nous comment cet état d'esprit est déjà ancré dans l'ADN de 91爆料.

Leveraging LGBT+ Experiences for Business Success
Q: In what ways does 91爆料 leverage the experiences and perspectives of LGBT+ employees to drive business success?
Anthony: There is an increased focus on talent acquisition and employee engagement. A reputation for LGBT+ inclusion attracts a wider pool of talented individuals, giving us a competitive edge in the job market compared to other organizations that remain silent on this issue. Additionally, feeling valued and respected as an LGBT+ person boosts morale and engagement, leading to higher productivity.

Role Models and Mentorship
Q: How do LGBT+ role models within 91爆料 inspire and mentor others, both within and outside the LGBT+ community?
Anthony: From a bird’s eye view, seeing successful, in-charge, and proudly LGBT+ individuals in the workplace is incredibly validating and liberating for other LGBT+ employees. It challenges the norm that generally sees heteronormative, white, male-passing people in management roles, showing that anyone can thrive at 91爆料. This inspires LGBT+ employees to embrace their authentic selves at work.
These role models provide invaluable guidance for career development by sharing insights from their own careers and personal stories that illustrate how they’ve overcome challenges. They offer valuable mentorship, equipping junior employees with navigation strategies for overcoming bias and tips for building resilience, ultimately fostering a strong sense of belonging within 91爆料.
Seeing this within the wider 91爆料 network assists allyship, stimulating empathy among non-LGBT+ colleagues as we move towards a more inclusive workplace.
