Location: Florida // Military status: Retired U.S. Army // What should companies consider when trying to be more inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community? "As someone who has worked for organizations in the past who were not inclusive, the best thing a company can consider is transparency in their efforts. Are they checking the box, or are they honestly incorporating inclusion efforts into their people, programs and policies? If you build supportive environments for us, we will find you. "
At Aptive, we believe that diversity, equity and inclusion are not just buzzwords or checkboxes to be ticked off, but essential values that must be lived and demonstrated every day. We are committed to creating a workplace that reflects these values and enables all employees to thrive.
