• Pride Quest – an internal online challenge called Pride Quest that introduced TRs workforce to key blogs and content written by their Pride at Work members.
• Count Me in for Pride – a global social media campaign with a weekly theme the workforce could use to create social share cards.
• Created a hashtag - #BeYouatTR – which they use for new hires and feature their LGBTQIA plus employees in their employer branding campaign.
• Focused employer branding that features all of their LGBTQIA stories, identities and perspectives.
• Roundtable discussions led by LGBTQIA plus allies on topics like allyship and resiliency.

What’s in store for this year?

This year’s theme is #comingoutatTR, a platform for their global employee population to share stories and examples of how TR is actively showing up as a visible ally.
