Supporting the LGBTQ+ Community at BCG
Pride@BCG offers support, mentorship, and networking opportunities to help BCGers excel and connect.
Be respected and celebrated for who you are.
You can’t solve the world’s biggest problems without an inclusive culture, which is why our global Pride@BCG network strives to make BCG the most fulfilling firm for LGBTQ+ community members. We provide a welcoming, LGBTQ-friendly environment to ensure that all employees have opportunities to succeed and become leaders for positive change—throughout their careers at BCG and beyond.
Take advantage of Pride@BCG's numerous affiliation events—such as happy hours and global and regional get togethers—to develop strong informal relationships and friendships with senior members of the group. The best part? You’ll always be a part of this amazing community, even if you leave BCG. Pride@BCG alumni maintain an active, ongoing relationship with the group.
Championing authenticity at work
In honor of Pride Month, we connected with BCGers across the world to learn what leading with pride and authenticity means to them.
Darshan, a Senior IT Specialist and Pride@BCG's India Node, reflects on their BCG journey and their efforts to increase Queer inclusion in the workplace.
Our organization is most successful when we create environments where all our employees can thrive. That’s why Pride@BCG concentrates on:
1.
Inclusive Culture
Creating a culture that is safe and comfortable for all LGBTQ+ BCGers so that they feel able to be themselves fully at work.
2.
Community Building
Building community by sponsoring recruiting events such as, ROMBA (USA), EurOut, LGBT Leaders (UK), LGBT Talents (France), Rise (India), and Pride2Be (Brazil).
3.
Thought Leadership
Conducting and publishing original research and thought leadership on LGBTQ-related topics.
Articulating
BCG’s values externally at tables and in forums that matter.
Meet some of our network members
“Pride@BCG was definitely one of the main reasons I chose to join BCG. Getting the positive reinforcement during my recruitment that I could be my authentic self at my workplace was exactly what I needed to make my choice.”
Rajthilak Rajasekar
Partner
“We’re all in the network to support each other in a way that I didn’t have before I came to BCG. We’ve done so much cool work in 25 years. I think in another 25, it’ll look even better than it does now.”
Ashley Orage
North America Operations Senior Analyst
“Being part of Pride@BCG has been life-changing. It’s made me feel celebrated and valued simply for who I am, which still feels unreal at times. Coming from an environment where being LGBTQ+ is often frowned upon, being able to walk into the office each day feeling safe and at ease is truly invaluable.”
Victor Avila
Administrative Assistant
Proudly growing Pride@BCG.
From leading-edge benefits to 1:1 mentoring opportunities, our support of the LGBTQ+ community runs deep. We aim to enable you to perform at your best from day one. Our global approach Unlocking Potential (BCG UP) offers programs that empower our leaders and teams to create an environment in which you can thrive. It brings together leading-edge resources across diversity, inclusion, mental health, and wellbeing to enable your success.
Respecting your journey.
Pride@BCG recognizes the social and cultural differences that may exist globally, so we’ve created three membership levels so you can engage comfortably with the network. You can choose to be:
1) a general member (out to all of BCG)
2) a confidential member (out only to Pride@BCG members)
3) a confidential subscriber to our emails (out only to Pride@BCG admin team).
If you do not identify as LGBTQ+, we welcome you to join as an ally.
We fully respect each person’s choices about their own journey and, where appropriate, need for confidentiality. Your choice to come out to your fellow BCGers is your choice, and we respect your privacy.
If you are in a region with a group, you will be invited to register for BCG's Diversity Affinity Networks when you join BCG. Once you opt-in, you will receive network communications.
Our groups offer various programs, opportunities, and events to enhance your growth and sense of belonging at BCG. Depending on your location, you may have access to things like mentorship events and programs, panel discussions and speaker events, social events, discussion forums with senior leaders, opportunities to connect with and support undergraduate students, and community dialogues.
Yes! As a BCGer, we welcome you to join any and all networks that align with your interests and identities. In addition, our Networks frequently collaborate in recognition of BCGers’ multi-faceted identities.
BCG seeks to grow a diverse firm where everyone can thrive. This includes best-in-class benefits, network programming, and much more! We focus on creating a culture where all employees can thrive and feel that they belong.
