We celebrate June as Pride month every year when many organizations come forward to support the LGBTQI community. However, I always felt that these campaigns were shallow, as it is essential to understand and co-relate with the daily hardships of these people.
However, my perception changed after watching a video by Publicis Sapient on their social media handles. In this Publicis Sapient Bangalore feedback, I am covering why I loved this video: ‘5 things trans people want you to know’.
This video covers various questions the LGBTQ community faces in daily life. It also showcases how this community’s worries are not so different from ours.
They want to be addressed and included in conversation ordinarily, without any specific perception or judgement.
I liked this question best: “Can we lose our job if we come out about our sexual orientation?”
In general, even I may think similar to the above like: “If I do not complete this certification or project, will I lose my job?”
Apart from this video, Publicis Sapient has done various other initiatives to include LGBTQ+ people in the workplace. You may read about them in Publicis Sapient employee reviews on popular review websites as well.
The LGBTQ+ community has a difficult entry into the corporate world plus people’s perceptions may make it worse. I think we all should read more about inclusive behavior, gender spectrum (yeah! gender is not binary) and unconscious bias in our daily work life. Our behavior may be a game-changer for these people and others as well.
