Fostering Genuine Connections: Empowering Workplace Culture at PFIP's Pride Summit 2024

MANILA - Are you a business owner who wants to improve your workplace culture? Do you want to create a safe space that allows your employees, especially those who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, to feel limitless in achieving their full potential?

For many years, the Philippine Financial Industry Pride (PFIP) has dedicated itself to empowering workplace culture through forming genuine connections. They aim to cultivate safe and inclusive environments that foster authentic, safe, and inclusive relationships, particularly for new and younger members of the workforce. 

Issa Litton, Host of the PFIP Limitless Media Launch, kicks off the event by
introducing the PFIP Board, distinguished speakers, media guests, and community groups.

Through mentorship, diversity training, and community-building initiatives, PFIP helps businesses build a respectful workplace that fosters innovation, attracts top talent, and helps employees reach their full potential.

Understanding the liberating impact of authenticity and acceptance, PFIP's programs empower individuals to embrace their true selves and feel accepted, promoting workplaces that genuinely support LGBTQ+ employees rather than merely hiring several LGBTQIA+ staff and calling the effort “inclusive.” 

PFIP also empowers leaders in the workplace to practice compassionate leadership, teaching managers and executives to nurture empathy and understanding amongst colleagues and teams. 

PFIP Corporate Secretary Ronil Villacorta introduces PFIP,
outlining its mission and vision, and explains how companies can become PFIP members.

Ultimately, PFIP prides itself in building bridges of understanding and breaking down barriers within organizations. Working with its member firms, PFIP has successfully championed inclusive policies and programs to support Filipino LGBTQ+ professionals, including:

• Equivalent benefits for same-sex couples
• Coverage for medical and non-medical transition procedures
• SOGIESC-sensitive dress code and SOCIESC-affirming practices
• Inclusive facilities and language, and
• Allyship training and LGBTQ+ mentorship
