Pride Month June 2022

June - Aon Pride takeover 2022

Have you ever wondered what does “Aon” mean? It is a Gaelic word for “Oneness”. In practice it means that we, Aon colleagues, even though we are from different parts of the world, we create one community. No matter of our ethnicity, gender or beliefs we are One Aon. In such big group we need to care about both – Diversity & Inclusion. We embrace and value being different and we create culture where everybody feels comfortable with whom they really are.

Many Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (“LGBT”) employees find it difficult to be themselves at work while it is proven that not being open out about sexual orientation or gender identity can have a major impact on both wellbeing and effectiveness in the workplace.

At Aon we believe that coworkers should feel able to bring their whole selves to work. This can be enabled by promoting a supportive, open and inclusive working environment and LGBT Allies play a crucial role in creating and sustaining this.

LGBT+ at Aon

Aon Pride Alliance supports LGBT+ employees and their allies

Our aim is to:

Provide support for all employees who are LGBT, are friends, relatives or colleagues of LGBT people, or any other employees with questions about sexual orientation or gender identity issues
Foster an atmosphere of inclusiveness and mutual respect by raising awareness and understanding of LGBT issues
Advise on policy development
Provide social and business networking opportunities for members
Improve recruitment, retention and career success for LGBT employees
Enhance Aon's image as a pro-LGBT employer and business
Provide an LGBT insight for the business, including helping in the development of products and services for the LGBT community

The group is open to all Aon colleagues and is made up of both those who identify as LGBT as well as LGBT allies. The group is run by volunteers and members can commit as much or as little time as they can spare.

Aon work closely with the sports industry to drive LGBT equality in sport. We’re also sponsors of Team Pride, Stonewall’s LGBT in sport initiative. We’re proud to be a part of a team that holds enormous ability to influence and inspire the sports industry.
