Dear SelectQuote,
As we embark on Pride Month, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for being part of this remarkable organization. Reflecting on my journey over the past five years, I am reminded of the challenges I faced when I first joined SelectQuote. Transitioning into my first corporate role as an openly LGBTQIA+ individual, I initially struggled to feel valued, included, and safe.
However, my early apprehensions were soon relieved. I discovered an incredible network of supportive team members and leaders who embraced and championed diversity. It took time and trust, but I eventually found a sense of belonging and realized that SelectQuote could indeed be my professional home.
Today, I am proud to contribute to SelectQuote in multiple capacities: as a member of our Culture Committee, an LGBTQIA+ Community Space Content Writer, part of the Talent Acquisition Think Tank, and a member of the SelectQuote Foundation Advisory Board. These opportunities have been made possible through the unwavering support of my colleagues and leaders, and I am deeply grateful for the chance to advocate for inclusion and representation.
As we celebrate Pride Month, I am excited by the progress SelectQuote has made in supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and other marginalized groups, but even more hopeful for what is to come. While there is always more work to be done, change begins with each of us. It starts with one voice, one person showing up and speaking out, creating a ripple effect that opens the door for others to have a seat at the same table.
I hope that each of you will be that person who fosters a safe and inclusive environment for everyone you encounter. Let’s continue to work together to not only make SelectQuote a great place to work, but to also champion and be a beacon for diversity and inclusion in the world.
