LGBTQ+ themed Employee Resource Groups are consistently amongst the most popular in many businesses. While this is an achievement to be celebrated, not every sector of society has experienced the same progress. Learn about the importance of moving beyond trends and supporting other marginalised groups that are just at the beginning of their journey towards equity, and why even at Pride, it’s important to check our privilege.
