Customized awareness tools: a key service of Fondation Émergence

In a constantly evolving professional world, raising awareness of LGBTQ+ realities has become essential to fostering inclusive and respectful workplaces. With this in mind, Fondation Émergence supports organizations by developing customized awareness tools tailored to their specific needs.

A concrete example: CISSS des Laurentides

Recently, the Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux (CISSS) des Laurentides partnered with Fondation Émergence to create an awareness campaign for the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia. The goal was to provide employees with accessible and impactful resources to help them better understand sexual and gender diversity issues, ultimately strengthening a culture of inclusion and respect within the organization.

To meet this need, Fondation Émergence developed three key awareness tools:

  • A poster: A visually engaging design aimed at capturing attention and encouraging reflection on LGBTQ+ inclusion in the workplace.
  • An informational guide on pronoun usage: A practical resource to help employees understand the importance of respecting gender identities and using appropriate pronouns.
  • A brochure on best practices: A detailed document outlining concrete actions to create an inclusive and respectful work environment.

Why choose customized awareness tools?

Every organization has unique realities and needs when it comes to inclusion and diversity. By developing tailor-made tools, Fondation Émergence ensures that messages and materials align with specific challenges and target audiences. This approach offers several benefits:

  • Better engagement with the content: Messages adapted to the organizational culture foster greater acceptance and involvement from employees.
  • Stronger impact: Awareness tools designed for a specific work environment lead to more effective and lasting sensibilization.
  • Enhanced organizational credibility: Demonstrating a commitment to inclusive practices reinforces a company’s or institution’s credibility and attractiveness.
