THMA PRIDE

THMA Pride’s mission is to provide a welcoming environment to all LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies, allowing them to bring their whole, authentic selves to work. We believe in an environment that fosters respect, community, and innovation – so we can continue to bring remarkable impact to our members.

The Pride ERG partners with The Health Management Academy teams and leadership to create an environment where LGBTQ+ team members can thrive. Examples of the group's work include

  • Creating educational sessions that help staff navigate issues around gender, sexual identity, and sexual orientation.

  • Hosting events like Pride Prom, book clubs, and more to foster and promote inclusive community.

  • Partnering with the People & Culture team to align on LGBTQ+ needs to promote equitable coverage and an inclusive work environment.

Fostering an Inclusive Work Environment for LGBTQ+ Colleagues and Allies

The Pride Employee Resource Group has been an invaluable resource for me as a non-binary person. It has provided a supportive community where I feel seen and understood, offering both personal and professional growth opportunities. The inclusive environment fostered by the ERG has truly enriched my experience at The Health Management Academy.

As early as my interview process, I was proud to learn that Pride is a core part of our company's culture. It’s not just about supporting those of us who identify as queer; it’s about engaging allies throughout the organization. This reflects our pride in fostering an inclusive environment that embraces our full identities.
