Preeti D’mello has a simple and effective answer on how employers can make the LGBTQIA+ community feel more included in the workplace?
Inclusion and acceptance is a shared journey. By cultivating a profound sense of belonging and emotional well-being individuals flourish, in turn so does the organisation.
Preeti D’mello, is the Global Head, Culture & Diversity and LeaD Academy, Tata Consultancy Services, she has worked with TCS, for over 30 years with the mission of inclusion without exception. Preeti is a Leadership Coach who spacializes in Positive Organisational Development and Change.
This pride month, we asked Preeti to share her thoughts on, how can employers make the LGBTQIA+ community feel more included in the workplace?
TCS recognizes that a diverse and inclusive workforce is necessary to drive innovation, foster creativity, and guide business strategies. Our continued commitment to Culture and Diversity is reflected in our people with a simple motto, “Inclusion without Exception”.
Respect for individual; one of our core TCS values, encourages us to build a culture of inclusion, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.
In any organization, creating an inclusive workplace environment for the LGBTQIA+ community requires a proactive and ongoing approach. Conducting education, sensitization and awareness sessions that focus on the community is key in this effort.
This, coupled with developing and communicating inclusive policies and having an employee resource group/affinity group for the community, results in a workplace sans discrimination and biases.
We believe in building an organization where everyone feels psychologically safe and can bring their authentic selves to work.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
