Pink Shirt Day is a powerful reminder of the importance of kindness, inclusion, and standing up against bullying — every day and everywhere.
At Emergent, we stand against bullying, harassment, bias, and discrimination in all its forms.
We’re committed to creating a fair, respectful, inclusive recruitment experience where every candidate feels safe, seen, and supported from the very first interaction.
Bullying during the hiring process can show up in many ways, from discriminatory practices and biased questioning to power imbalances and exclusionary practices. Bullying has distinct features that make it more serious and harmful than other behaviours; such as being deliberate, demonstrating a misuse of power in a relationship, being repetitive in nature, and involving behaviour that can cause harm.
Let’s all do our bit to build workplace cultures that support and actively live the principles of Pink Shirt Day – starting with promoting fairer, more respectful recruitment practices that prioritise empathy, equity, and a sense of safety and belonging.
Every one of us it responsible for playing our part in celebrating diversity and creating safe environments.
