Resource Library Supports LGBTQ Knowledge at Walser

Drive with Pride, your favorite auto industry LGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Group, is excited to let you in on the fact that we have been training and building… a resource library!

With the understanding that to grow is to learn, we wanted to give our company the best opportunity. Understanding our employees makes us engaged as an employer, and understanding our diverse customer base makes us engaged with our community impact.

Walser’s community of LGBTQIA+ employees, customers, and their allies is growing. With 1 in 4 LGBTQIA+ people reporting discrimination in 2016, there is a need for workplace support of this community as well.

Drive with Pride teamed up with OutFront MN this October to engage with our General Managers, Human Resources, and some core personnel to gain a better understanding of what it means to support our LGBTQIA+ community both in and out of Walser.

The training explored what it means to take on an active role of allyship and understanding. We touched on the places in which Walser can grow as a company in not only the understanding but the education of our industry peers and employees.

With more than 8.1 million LGBTQIA+ people in the workplace, many reported in one survey that they still do not feel safe at work. Walser wants to work to change that narrative.

Drive With Pride is open to all Walser employees. Interested in building your career here? Check out our latest career opportunities at WalserCareers.com
