ABOUT

IDEA

LGBT+ DIAMONDS AWARDS is the way we say thank you to people and organisations making a real change for LGBT+ employees in Poland. It is high time big businesses recognise their role in supporting LGBT+ people inside and outside the workplace.

It is not only the right thing to do, it’s also the smart thing to do. It has been proven that diverse thinking improves entrepreneurship and creativity. Bringing together employees with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives allows businesses to produce more innovative ideas and better solutions for their clients.
