The 2022 Awards Celebrate Companies Leading from the Front on LGBTQIA+ Inclusion

CHICAGO, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Built In, a technology recruitment platform, today invites professionals across the U.S. to submit nominations to its 2022 LGBTQIA+ Advocacy Awards.

The awards program will recognize 25 employers that create inclusive workplaces for LGBTQIA+ employees. Companies who seek to be honored in the program must have dedicated tactics for hiring, retaining and engaging LGBTQIA+ talent. Their offerings must go beyond baseline expectations. For instance, they might implement specific efforts to foster advocacy or donate their time and treasure to LGBTQIA+ organizations — and they must meet the requisites listed below. These and other factors contribute to equitable work environments wherein LGBTQIA+ employees can be their authentic selves.

"At Built In, we work with some of the most human-centered companies in tech," says Sheridan Orr, CMO, Built In. "So we've seen the transformative power of companies that are willing to do the hard work of creating truly inclusive cultures. This program will reward companies that aren't afraid to face uncomfortable truths about their DEI efforts — and specifically their inclusion efforts for employees within the LGBTQIA+ community. It will reward companies that make changes based on those insights, continually evaluate the effectiveness of their DEI programming and serve as standard-bearers for other companies that seek to build LGBTQIA+ advocacy within their walls."

The 25 winners, announced in late June, will be honored as examples of LGBTQIA+ advocacy for other companies to emulate.

Winners Must Have:

LGBTQIA+ employee representation at both the individual contributor and executive level
A perks and benefits package that supports the unique needs of LGBTQIA+ employees
