At Workhuman, we prioritize LGBTQIA+ inclusivity through initiatives like Sparkle, our LGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Group, and tools like Inclusion Advisor. Sparkle was created to foster community, visibility, and ensure all employees can be their authentic selves at work. Sparkle is embraced across the company, with over 25% of our humans included in the group.
“As work practices continue to evolve from the traditional 9-to-5 office model, it’s understandable that employees may feel increasingly anxious about their performance and how it’s being perceived, our research shows that people working remotely are feeling more anxious about their productivity than their in-office counterparts. Employees are asking for clearer communication and acknowledgement for their contributions. Having a culture that supports recognition can help with that, as it not only reduces negative experiences but also enhances positive ones, particularly for remote employees who may feel more pressure to demonstrate they are productive while working from home.”
