In celebration of Pride Month, CrossCountry reaffirms its commitment to fostering a world where everyone can be their authentic selves and feel valued and respected, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. June is a time to honor the LGBTQIA+ community, celebrate the progress toward equality, acknowledge the challenges that remain, and continue the journey toward a more inclusive future. We believe that embracing diversity not only enriches our work environment but also drives innovation and collaboration. This year’s theme, “Reflect. Empower. Unite.” inspired CrossCountry’s PRIDE Employee Resource Group to celebrate by hosting educational workshops, webinars, and special events.
We proudly partnered with Pride in Our Workplace (PIOW), a leading organization advocating for LGBTQ+ workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion. PIOW facilitated events for our employees, providing valuable insights on navigating challenging conversations about identity at work and applying DEI principles to create a more inclusive workplace.
Additionally, we hosted a series of events in local markets such as Washington D.C., New York, and Boston. These celebrations included attending baseball games and happy hours, hosting a virtual panel, and a drag brunch – all of which fostered community and engagement among our employees.
“Pride Month is a vibrant celebration of our journey toward equality, diversity, and intersectionality within the LGBTQ+ community. As a proud member of this community, I am excited for this year’s inaugural DC Pride Panel, co-hosted with our esteemed BOLD ERG and external partner ALPFA. This event will provide a chance to engage in meaningful conversations internally and externally, share inspiring stories, and show our unwavering support for one another. It’s also exciting to see all the local market events, where folks are uniting, celebrating, and continuing to foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone. Happy Pride!” – Jannelle Tartaro, Experience Managing Consulting, Risk Advisory
