June is Pride Month around the world, and we’re proud to celebrate alongside our LGBTQ+ colleagues, communities and allies globally. Diversity & Inclusion is, and always will be, a global business imperative for Nielsen. Promoting diverse voices and perspectives is key to creating a winning business, as it fosters an environment in which everyone feels respected and can reach their full potential. And June is the ideal time to acknowledge the impact LGBTQ+ colleagues have had on history and our company, while also addressing the challenges this community can face around the world.
“As we recognize and celebrate Pride Month globally, we will continue to drive inclusion for our LGBTQ+ colleagues around the world,” said Natasha Miller Williams, SVP Diversity & Inclusion, Nielsen. “We have a responsibility to foster belonging for all of our associates and to create growth opportunities for everyone.”
Inclusion and acceptance for LGBTQ+ people may vary around the world, but not at Nielsen. Our global non-discrimination policy—which covers gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation, among other factors—applies identically in every country where we operate worldwide.
十多年来，尼尔森一直积极支持和拥护我们的LGBTQ+同事，从2007年推出PRIDE LGBTQ + Allies员工资源小组（ERG）开始。从那时起，PRIDE 成员在 LGBTQ+ 员工和消费者测量方面取得了重要的里程碑式成就。在 2018 年和 2019 年，我们采取了几项值得注意的措施，进一步支持 LGBTQ+ 在全球的包容性和代表性：
- 我们将 PRIDE ERGs 扩展到全球，在北美、拉丁美洲、欧洲和亚洲都设立了分会。PRIDE成员已被授权在尼尔森内部和我们的测量中推动包容性。例如，德国和波兰的PRIDE分会首次发布了LGBTQ+消费者报告，该报告对消费者行为和购物趋势进行了测量，显示了LGBTQ群体的市场重要性。我们在墨西哥的首份 LGBTQ+ 消费者报告将于本月晚些时候发布。
- Our PRIDE ERG, in collaboration with GLAAD, was a key collaborator for the launch of our first-ever public reporting of same-sex household television viewership ratings, which help to quantify LGBTQ+ viewership of media, something only Nielsen can do.
- We joined the Business Coalition for the Equality Act, a group of leading U.S. employers that support the Equality Act. If passed, this U.S. federal legislation would provide LGBTQ+ people with the same basic protections that are provided to other protected groups under federal law, including protections to prohibit discrimination in employment, housing, and public services.
- 在美国，我们扩大了我们的福利范围，以支持每一种为人父母的途径，增加了一个全包的生育福利提供商，涵盖领养和代孕的报销。
我们为推动全球 LGBTQ+ 员工的包容性所做的努力得到了外界的认可，对此我们也深感自豪。
- DiversityInc named Nielsen to its list of Top Companies for LGBT Employees for the second consecutive year.
- Our LGBTQ-inclusive policies and practices were honored by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation with a perfect 100% score on the Corporate Equality Index for the sixth consecutive year.
- Nielsen Mexico was honored as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality by Human Rights Campaign Equidad Mexico for two consecutive years.
- Nielsen Poland was recognized as LGBTQ Supporting Employer of the Year in the Natwest LGBT+ Diamond 2018 Polish Business Awards.
