BY ELLA GAUCI
myGwork is gearing up to mark a significant milestone as it celebrates its 10th anniversary during the annual WorkPride conference scheduled from 17 – 21 June this year.
For the past decade, myGwork has been a trailblazer in advancing LGBTQIA inclusion within workplaces globally. The upcoming five-day WorkPride conference will not only serve as a celebration of this achievement but also will set the stage for myGwork’s co-founders, Adrien and Pierre Gaubert, to unveil their ambitious vision for the next decade. They are poised to introduce new strategies aimed at eliminating workplace discrimination and ensuring that individuals can pursue their careers authentically.
Reflecting on a decade of success, myGwork will highlight several key milestones. Recent investments exceeding £3 million have facilitated the doubling of the global team to over 40 employees and facilitated international expansion. The introduction of the myGwork Academy, an award-winning initiative providing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training, has been instrumental in supporting workplace inclusion efforts.
With over 350 partners, including prominent FTSE 100 companies, myGwork has been instrumental in empowering and accelerating LGBTQIA inclusion within workplaces. The platform receives an average of over 230,000 job applications monthly, showcasing its effectiveness in connecting talent with inclusive opportunities.
The annual WorkPride conference, alongside initiatives like WorkFair and monthly panels addressing DEI topics, has garnered significant participation from LGBTQIA professionals, graduates, allies, and inclusive employers globally.
Adrien and Pierre Gaubert expressed their pride in myGwork’s journey. “As we celebrate a decade of myGwork, we are immensely proud of the strides we have made in advancing LGBTQIA inclusion within workplaces globally. Our journey has been marked by profound moments of progress and meaningful collaborations thanks to our corporate and community partners, all of which have contributed to creating environments where authenticity is celebrated and diversity thrives.”
“As we embark on the next chapter, our commitment to creating discrimination-free workplaces remains unwavering. Together, we will continue to champion inclusivity, empower allies, and pave the way for a future where everyone can work with pride, regardless of how they identify.”
To further support inclusivity efforts, myGwork will give complimentary access to its allyship course for the first 500 sign-ups to WorkPride, underscoring its dedication to promoting awareness and training for bias-free workplaces.
