Leanne MacMillan, Director of Global Programmes at STONEWALL said, “Year on year the IWEI shows the growing commitment of employers to LGBTQ+ inclusion in the workplace. We heartily congratulate the Top Employers and the many people who work daily to build better lives for the LGBTQ+ community!”
This recognition positions Diamondpick as a trailblazer in fostering a workplace environment that supports and promotes LGBT+ inclusion with policies, hiring practices, external communication, etc. demonstrating a long-term and in-depth commitment towards creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported.
