Allies@nVent is nVent’s global Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ+) allyship Employee Resource Group (ERG). Its mission is to advance nVent’s commitment to inclusion and diversity by building awareness and breaking down barriers for LGBTQ+ employees.
Allies@nVent has a vision to foster a positive, welcoming and respectful work environment for members of LGBTQ+ community and those that support them.
June is Pride Month for members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies. We celebrate the importance of fostering inclusivity, equality and acceptance. By embracing diversity and promoting understanding, we build a stronger, more vibrant workforce, where everyone feels seen, heard and respected.
Together, we can create a world where everyone is free to be their authentic selves. This Pride Month, we strive to amplify LGBTQ+ voices, uplift their stories and work towards a future of equality.
Active in Our Communities
On June 8, our team will be participating in the parade at San Mateo County’s 12th Annual Pride Celebration. This event supports LGBTQ+ and allies in the greater San Mateo community.
On May 23 and May 28, our Solon, Ohio location will hold two blood drives.
On June 30, the Allies ERG will participate in the Rainbow Run 5K at Twin Cities Pride. The team can run or walk down Hennepin Ave with an option to join virtually. This year, the theme is ‘Show Your Colors 365,’ to celebrate and represent identity for everyone.
Visible Allyship
At nVent, we value all dimensions of diversity and work hard to make sure all voices are heard, respected and represented. We encourage support to LGBTQ+ colleagues by displaying allyship in the workplace. Being an ally may include putting a sticker on your badge or a rainbow-colored item at your desk. We look forward to celebrating Pride Month, following the initiatives of our Allies@nVent ERG.
