Spotlight on The OPEN
Without empathy, trust does not develop. Without trust, people are less likely to bring ideas to the table for finding better solutions to problems.
Having a group such as the OPEN shows that the company is supportive of LGBT+ employees and takes steps to support them.
Regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation, an ally should treat people with the most respect and dignity.
