myGwork Shortlisted for Bank of London’s 2022 Rainbow Honours
myGwork, the global LGBTQ+ business community, has been shortlisted in the Bank of London 2022 Rainbow Honours. It is a finalist in this year's Small Brand/Organization of the Year category, alongside Dr. Botanicals, Gay's The Word, Grin & Bear, Lazy Paige Aromas, Saucy Bitch, SH! Women’s Store and The Queer Brewing Project.
The Rainbow Honours shines a light on every aspect of the LGBTQ+ and nonbinary community – from corporate entities to community, charity, and celebrity members, plus our allies. The awards are specifically geared towards individuals and organizations that demonstrate their commitment to equality all year round, often in the face of intense criticism.
Commenting on being shortlisted for this coveted award, brothers and Co-founders of myGwork, Adrien (CMO) and Pierre Gaubert (CEO), stated: “We’re honored to be shortlisted for the Bank of London Rainbow Honours in the Small Brand/Organization of the Year category, alongside so many other inspiring organizations and individuals doing great work to promote LGBTQ+ inclusion and equality across the country.”
The Gaubert brothers were also recently honored among the Top 100 Global LGBT+ OUTstanding Executives and shortlisted for The 2022 Digital Leaders Impact Awards, as a finalist in the 6th Digital Leaders Impact Awards 2022 celebrating UK tech for good.
myGwork's fast-growing network of LGBTQ+ professionals and allies has helped more than 300 clients to attract and retain LGBTQ+ talent since 2014, and is also empowering and providing the LGBTQ+ community a safe space where they can connect with inclusive employers, find jobs, mentors, professional events, LGBTQ+ news and more. As well as providing online training and events for both its professional members and corporate clients, such as #WorkPride and #WorkFair, it is successfully providing organizations worldwide access to highly qualified talent.
