At the first level, we organise meetups or interactions between the LGBT+ community and D&I and HR professionals from India Inc. so that they can share coming out stories, debunk myths, neutralise biases and stereotypes and brainstorm solutions, policy changes and ultimately build TRUST.
The goal is to have a network of workplaces that are open to LGBT+ talent and can help them nurture and grow.
At the second level, we go to the source of the LGBT+ talent pool; campuses, educational institutes, and parent groups. Here we work on the more deep-seated issues of acceptance, belonging and inclusion.
The goal is to ultimately make this LGBT+ talent pool feels safe and SECURE, so that they can bring their best selves to the job market.
RISE is one of our strategic annual flagship programs, which began as Asia’s First ever LGBT+ Conference, Job Fair & Marketplace on 12 July 2019 in Bangalore, where 45 companies came to sponsor and many supporting NGOs for this unique initiative.
Acting as a ‘big tent’ RISE provides opportunities for knowledge sharing, collaboration, collective impact, LGBT+ employment, employability, entrepreneurship, and new marketplaces.
This has been designed as a LGBT+ specific service. We realise that changes at the workplace and even home, especially, in the time of COVID-19 and lockdown can sometimes impact us in different ways, leading to stress, depression and a sense of loneliness. You can reach out to our network of counsellors and mental health practitioners. Browse through webinars & guide on Mental Health:
