A lot has changed in our (remote) workplaces and especially in the past year. But the importance of inclusion and diversity hasn’t gone anywhere. And neither has the joy and power of recognizing the total value of everyone on your team. At atwork, diversity and inclusion are in our daily life. Everyone should be treated equally and with respect. These are the foundations of our modern society. We want to show our sympathy by adapting our atwork logo on the website, on our blog and on our LinkedIn page to the rainbow colors. We support Pride and the LGBTIQ community with the motto “Join us. March with us. Together & Proud.” It’s important to celebrate Pride in the (remote) workplace because we need to acknowledge and recognize the accomplishments of the gay rights movement and our LGBTQ advocates. ...
