About the PRIDE Index https://workwithpride.jp/pride-i/
The PRIDE Index was established in 2016 by work with Pride as Japan's first evaluation framework for LGBTQ+ initiatives in the workplace. It aims to promote the creation of inclusive environments for sexual minorities.
It consists of five key indicators: Policy (Action Declaration), Representation (Community of Stakeholders), Inspiration (Awareness Activities), Development (HR Systems and Programs), and Engagement/Empowerment (Social Contribution and External Relations). Points are awarded when the specified requirements within each indicator are met, and based on the total score, organizations are certified as Gold, Silver, or Bronze.
