When our MH PRIDE Employee Resource Group (ERG) formed in 2021, it had one main purpose: to help all McGraw Hill employees celebrate and support the LGBTQIA+ community. Three years later, it’s more than making good on that promise.
The group’s highest-profile events are planned during Pride Month, in June. There’s no shortage of ways for employees all around the world to join in this monthlong celebration of acceptance, love and unity. On the calendar this year are virtual options like Drag Queen Bingo, an ERG vs. ERG Jeopardy! game, a virtual Pride parade, a special Book Club event where the author will be joining the group, a Kiki social gathering and a webinar hosted by PFLAG’s Straight for Equality team called “Be Kind, Rewind.”
But make no mistake, the PRIDE ERG’s work doesn’t end on July 1. The group hosts events and programs all throughout the year that help nurture an inclusive environment at McGraw Hill. We asked some PRIDE members to share their favorite activities of the year and why they’re so meaningful.
