TELUS promotes equal opportunity for LGBTQIA+ community

Only 17% of companies in the Philippines have policies against the discrimination of the LGBTQIA+ community, according to a 2018 Philippine LGBT Chamber of Commerce report. These companies belong to the business process outsourcing/business process services sector with headquarters outside the country. One of the leading BPO companies that fosters such inclusion in the workplace is TELUS International Philippines.

TELUS addresses LGBTQIA+ issues through resource group Spectrum Philippines. According to Ronnel Orial, Spectrum Philippines co-chair, Spectrum have helped TELUS introduce benefits that are more inclusive to the LGBTQIA+ group by extending HMO coverage to their partners, and building gender-neutral restrooms.
