LGBTQ+ at REA Group
Celebrating the diversity of our people
Via our Employee Resource Group known as the ‘Diversity and Inclusion Guild’ we continue to create storytelling opportunities, celebrate, or acknowledge key events and even evolve our internal processes or systems based on the thought leadership of this group. For example, during 2021 Pride Month and to celebrate Mardi Gras, our employees and leaders took the time to showcase rainbows in our physical and virtual offices.
Employees could turn on one of our Pride-themed Zoom backgrounds throughout March 2021, our Intranet had its logo updated with rainbow colours and our digital screens in the office and reception displayed Pride/Mardi Gras themes. Leaders shared their own personal experience stories internally and on our REA Group LinkedIn. Our people also donated to the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras or one of the 14 LGBTQIA+ charities on our Good 2 Give platform.
A physical symbol of this support, a giant rainbow featured in our office and employees were encouraged to have their photo taken in front of it as a gesture of allyship and support.
