SLC Pride


Mission

The mission of the St. Louis County LGBTQIA2S+ ERG is to promote the personal and professional growth and support of staff employed in any capacity with SLC. The ERG is committed to creating a welcoming, safe, and supportive work environment and service for members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. The ERG affirms the unique intersectionality of identities that    compose the LGBTQIA2S+ community and recognizes that we do not encompass all LGBTQIA2S+ community experiences and are not claiming to speak for all by any means.

 

Vision 

Every employee at St. Louis County is valued, respected, and deserves to feel welcome and to bring their whole selves into the workplace. The LGBTQIA2S+ Team’s vision is to create a sense of belonging, to share resources related to cultural     wellness and education, and to establish goals for workplace inclusion within St. Louis County for people who identify as LGBTQIA2S+ , therefore increasing and improving the retention of LGBTQIA2S+ employees.

 

Scope

The LGBTQIA2S+ Team’s goal is to provide connectivity for individuals who may otherwise feel alone, to contribute to a supportive and safe environment for members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, and to serve as a bridge between management, leadership, and the LGBTQIA2S+ staff community across St. Louis County. As partners in the goal to create an environment that is welcoming and inclusive for all, the LGBTQIA2S+ team is committed to the following:

  • Partnering with leadership to embrace all staff and to create a culture where LGBTQIA2S+ staff feel welcomed and included.
  • Assisting in formulating strategy on how to have uncomfortable conversations not only with upper management but with all employees within St. Louis County.
  • Reducing stigma around topics of gender, orientation, equity, and equality and work to define each with supportive information and best practices.
  • Serving as an advisory board to leadership when issues or conversations of gender and orientation arise, or as needed.
  • Providing support across the County to ensure voices of all employees, including LGBTQIA2S+ staff are integrated into hiring, retention, new policies, training, workplace safety and satisfaction, discrimination topics, and community partnerships.


Who can join? 

Any St. Louis County employee who personally identifies as a member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community
