AMS Austria shows flag: rainbow pride in the labor market!
Wien, Österreich - In June 2025, the labor market service (AMS) Austria actively takes part in the Pride Month part under the motto "AMS Pro Queer". This initiative aims to support the LGBTQIA+ community and to promote the visibility of diversity. In an internal email dated June 3, the employees were asked to participate in various actions and to show their support.
One of the measures includes the use of a special email signature with rainbow flag. This signature should not only serve to celebrate the Pride Month, but also set a sign of support for transgendic and non-binary employees. The updating of the signatures with pronouns signal a respectful and supportive environment, which has a positive effect on inclusion in the work environment, such as Exclaimer
actions and events
As part of the Pride Months, the AMS plans several activities. Employees are asked to use a pride background in Microsoft teams all year round and to hang up Pride poster from the previous year in the branches. In addition, the AMS will be present with its own pagoda in the Vienna Pride Village from June 12th to 14th to discuss labor market topics. The locations of Vienna and Lower Austria receive special attention in this context.
In addition, an internal networking meeting will take place on June 13, at the same time as the Pride Run in Vienna, to promote cohesion and understanding within the workforce. A thematic guideline is also created to support employees in consulting situations.Pride Month and sustainability of the measures
The Pride Month, which is celebrated annually in June, has its roots in the Stonewall uprising from 1969 and not only serves the celebration of LGBTQIA+rights, but also of memory of the ongoing discrimination in many companies. According to Babbelforbusiness , companies should not only restrict their efforts to diversity and inclusion to this month. It is crucial that the support for the LGBTQIA+ community goes beyond the Pride Month and is structurally integrated into corporate policy.
Important strategies to achieve this includes the establishment of employee resource groups, regular diversity and inclusion training and the evaluation of existing company guidelines on their inclusivity. This ensures that the commitment to a diverse work environment is not only temporary, but is also regarded as a continuous process.
In conclusion, the AMS in its internal communication calls for respect and tolerance to colleagues and customers, which underlines the fundamental intention of these pride initiatives: the creation of an inclusive and supportive working atmosphere.| Details | |
