LGBTQ Inclusion
With the aim of offering a workplace where all people are treated fairly, actively engaged as themselves, and creating organizational synergy, transcosmos is driving efforts to increase LGBTQ* allies and to create a pleasant workplace for all by fostering better understanding of LGBTQ (sexual minorities) and SOGIE (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) among all employees.
*LGBTQ is an abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (used to describe someone whose gender does not match the body they were born with), and queer or questioning. It is an umbrella term which refers to sexual minorities.
