All employees should be treated equally. Besides reducing conflict within the organization, it also increases employee happiness in the workplace.”
The topic “We are Proud to be Ourselves” was chosen on June 14, 2023, to give people a sense of self-worth by Mr. Sittipong Liamsuwan, Market Access, Policy and Communication Director of Organon (Thailand) Ltd., Ms. Karnmanee Mitisubin, Policy and Government Affairs Lead, Organon Thailand Ltd., and Koko – Kavindhra Tiamsai, policy researcher driving LGBTQIA+ rights who is a transgender woman.
They shared their experiences and gave inspiration “We are all free to express ourselves fully without being looked down upon. And any difference in any way is not a fault. So be proud of yourself. Because we all have the same self-worth as everyone. And most importantly, Pride Month is not just a month of importance. But we must make every day a day of pride and help each other to be a voice to support equality in Thai society.”
On June 15, 2023, our special guest Pam – Anshisa Sintrakarnpol, an artist at Warner Music (Thailand) brought us happiness and entertainment through her wonderful voice. And also shared her view of living in an equal society in the topic “Welcome to Diversity & Equity world”. She said “The opportunity to interact with people of different ages, genders, and races increases both in personal and professional life. No matter how different we are, everyone can be solely responsible for their own actions. Personally, I see this as a world of equality. Diversity is like butterflies that bring color to the world”
Completed the last day with the topic “Colors of Us” by the representation of Jones Lang LaSalle (Thailand) Limited led by Mr. Michael Glancy, Country Head of Jones Lang LaSalle (Thailand) Limited came to pass on inspiration to everyone. “Because we always believe that difference is the initiative of creativity.
