Description

On 12 Oct, Community Business launched the 2021 Hong Kong LGBT+ Inclusion Index Report - Maintaining Momentum, presenting consolidated findings from the 4th iteration of the Index. 

Furthering Community Business’ goal to promote best practices and drive progress on LGBT+ inclusion, we now invite you to join the first workshop in the Maintaining Momentum: Post-Index Best Practice Workshop Series which will be held from January to April 2022. 

At this 90-minute virtual workshop, we will explore Category 8: Measurement, the category with weakest performance in the 2021 Index, in an expert presentation followed by a panel discussion and Q&A. 

Our panelists, whose companies have been successful in their efforts in Hong Kong, as well as those who have just started LGBT+ inclusion efforts, will share their challenges and triumphs in incorporating inclusive measurements. 

The event is catered to both veterans wishing to better their practice and newcomers hoping to kickstart their journey, whether they have participated in the Hong Kong LGBT+ Inclusion Index or not. 

Contact Scot Jones, Programme Manager, LGBT+ for more information.

Catherine Hamilton

Co-Chair Pride HK, Proud Ally & Senior Manager, Digital Risk & Controls, Wealth & Personal Banking, HSBC 

Catherine believes that showing support in HSBC for our LGBT+ colleagues is not just about wearing rainbow colours, but giving LGBT+ colleagues a voice and platform to share their experiences, demystify common misconceptions and destigmatise topics of sexuality and gender.

In leading the HSBC Pride HK Committee of 32 dedicated individuals with her Co-Chair Louis Kettle, Pride HK is leading the way in HSBC in Asia Pacific and Globally as best practice standard for Employee Resource Groups. Further Pride HK is continuing its work in the community with strong ties to Interbank, Community Business, Aids Concern, Pink Dot and Pink Alliance.

HSBC Pride HK has three main aims, to support our LGBT+ colleagues, educate and encourage Allies and finally celebrate diversity and Inclusion.

HSBC HK Pride continues to work with Senior Management, HR and our other Employee Resource Groups in identifying where we can continue to improve the working environment and culture of our LGBT+ colleagues and providing resources and education on how to be a visible and strong Ally.
