#1: PFIP's Advocacy for LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusivity
Established in 2013, PFIP, a non-profit organization comprising LGBTQ+ employee resource group representatives and human resource/diversity professionals from private firms in the Philippines, has been at the forefront of advocating progressive DE&I policies. Its mission revolves around fostering workplace environments where Filipino LGBTQ+ talents can flourish devoid of gender-based discrimination and harassment.

The report launch attracted corporate leaders, HR professionals, DE&I advocates, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, underscoring collaborative endeavors driving workplace inclusion in the Philippines. Through presentations and panel discussions, the event highlighted industry experts and LGBTQ+ advocates sharing insights and best practices for cultivating inclusive workplaces.
#3: Corporate Inclusivity on the Rise
The 2024 PFIP LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion Report showcases the strides taken by companies such as Aboitiz Power Corporation, Cebu Pacific, GCash, and JP Morgan Chase & Co. in implementing comprehensive DE&I policies. These policies ensure equal access to medical, insurance, and family-related benefits for LGBTQ+ employees, alongside mechanisms to combat workplace bullying, harassment, and discrimination, complemented by the establishment of support systems like LGBTQ+ employee resource groups and ally networks.
