Thank you to our PRIDE Employee Resource Group (ERG) for hosting a well attended "Out & Proud" Happy Hour in honor of National Coming Out Day. Acceptance and inclusivity matters in a workplace, and we're honored to have created a culture that supports and encourages our team members to be their true authentic selves. We are WOLVER1NE.
Yesterday our PRIDE ERG hosted the second annual Out & Proud happy hour on campus to celebrate National Coming Out Day. The first National Coming Out Day was organized by Jean O'Leary & Dr. Robert Eichberg back on October 11, 1988. This day is dedicated to honoring the courage it takes to live openly and authentically, and brings visibility to the acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community. Being our true selves with others can be uncomfortable and difficult so this day helps bring awareness of the struggles we sometimes encounter. I am so proud of the work our ERG has done and continues to do, and am grateful to work at Wolverine Worldwide where we can all be our true authentic selves each and every day! #WolverineWorldwide #NationalComingOutDay #LiveAuthentically #Wolver1ne
