Grounded in our core values of Respect and Integrity, ITW is committed to creating diverse and inclusive workplaces where everyone can perform to their full potential, grow their careers and enhance ITW’s culture. For colleagues who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community such as Jarbas Bitencourt, sales manager at Polymers & Fluids South America based in São Paulo, Brazil, knowing that they belong at ITW and are fully supported can be particularly impactful. “I have friends who are gay who don’t want to come out at work,” he said. “But I feel very comfortable here. I can say I have a spouse, I have a family, and it’s no different — all I have to do is achieve results for ITW.” Learn more about how Jarbas felt empowered to open up about his home life at work: https://bit.ly/4eHZilx #ProudToBeITW

There’s a misconception that allyship is primarily about supporting a specific subset of individuals, such as LGBTQ+ people. Here’s what’s true: inclusion is for everyone. Logan Chapman, an Onboarding & Enablement Coordinator, at Spring Health, and part of our OutSpring ERG 🏳️🌈, shares his insights as a team member and how leaders can become allies to LGBTQ+ employees and create a #workplace environment where everyone feels like they belong. The article also features insights from two other OutSpring ERG members, Lucas Barrino and Ritchelle G., on what allyship means to them both within the walls of the workplace, but beyond that. It always feels good to work for an organization where everyone feels included. Learn how you can become an ally to LGBTQ+ team members by cultivating a workplace environment where everyone feels like they belong.

Pridemonth is a monumental time of the year. It is a time to remember the remarkable equal rights journey the LGBTQ+ community has fought for decades. And it is a month where I personally take some time to reflect on how far we’ve come as a country. Pride Month also serves as a reminder of the importance of respect and inclusivity in all aspects of our lives. For Corporations world-wide , it’s also a reminder that we need to hit the accelerator on making workplaces welcoming for all, year-round. #StaffWorQs, we firmly believe that businesses play a pivotal role in driving positive societal change and we will be a catalyst to drive such a change as we continue to create diverse and inclusive workplaces and foster innovation. generating tangible benefits for individuals #PrideMonth #PrideCelebration

In #publicsafety , everyone is #family You spend more holidays with your co-workers than you do with your own family. Of course, you have that weird aunt or grumpy uncle but at the end of the day - regardless of race, gender, religious beliefs, sexuality, etc. Everyone loves eachother and supports eachother through those difficult calls. Coming over to the private sector, I didn’t know what to expect. #Thankful to have joined a company that welcomes #diversity and supports all employees. Verint has created a culture that embraces #inclusion while providing #opportunities and #support for everyone. #equality #employeeresourcegroup #ERG #diversity #verint #publicsector #publicsafety #community #bestplacestowork #culture #proud #together #verinteer #technology #techjobs #womenintech
Leadership means embracing inclusion year-round, not just during Pride Month. It's about creating a culture that recognizes and appreciates the diversity of our workforce throughout the year. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our newest Employee Resource Group – LGBTQ+. This group is committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming, and safe environment for all our LGBTQ+ Verinteers, helping them to grow and thrive. Join us this month and beyond as the LGBTQ+ ERG hosts engaging programs and events, shares valuable education, and drives impactful change. Together, we're building a more diverse, innovative, and better Verint. Happy #PrideMonth!
