ERG LGBTIQA+ Prism

NWO/NWO-I have different Employee Resource Groups. These are voluntary, employee-led groups whose aim is to foster a diverse, inclusive workplace aligned with the organizations they serve. The ERG LGBTIQA+ is called 'Prism' and has the goal is to create a space for members of the LGBTIQA+ community working at NWO and NWO-I. LGBTIQA+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (or sometimes questioning), intersex, asexual, and others. The "plus" represents other sexual identities, including pansexual and Two-Spirit. As a relatively young group, we want to establish ourselves as an internal platform where we can all feel accepted and discuss issues that we think are important.

The group’s main objectives of the ERG LGBTIQA+ Prism are:

▪ Community Building and Networking
▪ Support and Navigation
▪ Safe and Welcoming Environment

We are planning a lot of exciting activities for the upcoming months with the organization, so make sure to keep an eye out for the calendar on the NWO-I website and the personnel newsletter Inside NWO-I (both for NWO-I employees) and intranet Joost (for NWO-D employees) to stay in the loop!
