Pride at VodafoneThree

We believe that every person has the right to be authentic in their sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression - a place where you can be yourself and be celebrated for it. We ensure that the lived experience and needs of the community are reflected in all we do to make VodafoneThree a welcoming environment for everyone. As part of that commitment, we have a number of initiatives in place to support our LGBT+ community.

Pride Network

Our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT+) & Friends Network champions inclusion and celebrates diversity, both at work and out in the community. From a buddy system to a Pride-month packed with awareness-raising events, this network helps us ensure that LGBT+ voices are heard in all we do at VodafoneThree.

Out and Proud

In 2018, our research found that 58% of young LGBT+ people weren’t open about their sexual orientation or gender identity at work, because they feared discrimination by managers and colleagues. At VodafoneThree, we continue to collaborate with external organisations to have a positive impact on LGBT+ inclusion in our communities, as well as reviewing our engagement data, via our “Spirit Beat” survey, to check our LGBT+ colleagues are thriving.

Leading from the top

With senior allies around the world, we’ve held workshops for middle managers, new graduates and senior leaders. Anyone at VodafoneThree can undertake online learning with a view to being a withstander to impactful allyship. We also ensure our policies are inclusive; from our transitioning guidance to our non-gendered hormone changes and parental leave, we are taking action to make sure people can truly be themselves.

Pride and Celebration

It’s important that we show up collectively each day as well as for celebration events, like Pride, to raise awareness and celebrate the LGBT+ community.

Every Pride Week, we host a global webinar celebrating our LGBT+ colleagues, and LGBT+ history, that’s attended by thousands of employees around the world. Throughout the year we also ensure that our events, panels and contributions represent the breadth of our community and that our LGBT+ colleagues are visible and profiled for their brilliant work.
