“Look for a Rainbow in every Cloud”…said Chief Justice Dipak Misra. On the 6th of September, 2018, the Supreme Court of India, in a landmark verdict, read down section 377 and unanimously agreed that the LGBTQ (that’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) community has the same rights as any other citizen.
While the business case for LGBTQ inclusion at workplaces has already been established, this judgement has given corporate India the right “go ahead” to make that first move.
‘Over the Rainbow’ is a sensitization drive that helps organizations declare with pride that they believe in productivity over prejudice . If diverse teams, progression and equal opportunity are your company values, shout it out to the world. We have a selection of customized programs designed to hand-hold your people through this journey.
Parichaya
Target audience: All employees
Medium and method of instruction: English, classroom session
This session will help sensitize all employees on LGBTQ+ inclusion. The objectives are to create a safe space for your employees from the community, help your workforce appreciate diversity and model the values of your organization.
Saathi
Target audience: People managers and decision makers, HR, L&D
Medium and method of instruction: English, kinaesthetic and experiential workshop
This workshop will be an immersive and intensive experience for your people who are responsible for people. The objectives are to understand the deeper value of inclusion, how to create pathways for employees to achieve their optimum potential, crisis management (dealing with homophobia/ discrimination), vocally advocate and create an overall zero tolerance space for biases.
Parichaya (Kannada-dalli)
Target audience: Non-English speakers
Medium and method of instruction: Regional language, Classroom session
We can’t do a patchy job at advocating inclusion and expect a holistic change in the culture. A section of your workforce probably doesn’t speak English (security, housekeeping, janitors etc.) and hence falls through the cracks in the learning curve of your organization. This session will help your support staff to understand inclusion without buzzwords and political jargon that they can’t translate.
