LGBTQ+ at Simpson Grierson

Simpson Queerson is a safe, social place within Simpson Grierson for Rainbow Community members to find a sense of belonging and support

We were the first organisation in Aotearoa to receive the Rainbow Tick certification in 2014, and are very proud to be allies of the Rainbow Communities.

Some of our main initiatives at Simson Grierson include;

The rolling out of more LGBTTQIA+ training across the firm
Making it easier for our people to use pronouns in their email signatures. We currently have 108 individuals in the firm who have pronouns included in their email signature
Revitalising our pride network and renaming it Simpson Queerson
Having non-binary toilets available in our offices
Using gender inclusive language and avoiding binary terms
Providing additional parental leave support to all eligible primary carers

Beyond being a social group, we also have members on Simpson Grierson’s Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Committee, and feed into the firm’s ongoing work in this area.
