Pride

IPG and its agencies encourage our employees to include their personal pronouns in their signatures. You might be wondering why.

 

First, it is a quick and easy way to vocalize inclusion and support for our transgender and non-binary employees.

 

Second, it tells everyone we communicate with that we value a diverse and inclusive world where all people are respected, valued, and affirmed. Not only does this allow our trans and non-binary employees to affirm their gender identities, it also helps avoid assuming someone’s gender and getting it wrong if their name is from a culture you are not familiar with or the name is gender-neutral.

 

And lastly, it can be a conversation starter that allows us to lead with our allyship and educate new and potential allies about gender identity, gender expression, and gender diversity.
