In 1990, May 17 became a symbolic date for the LGBTQ+ community, when the World Health Organization (WHO) removed homosexuality from the list of mental disorders. Since then, much has been accomplished, but the work continues.
For Ubisoft, fostering a workplace that promotes diversity, inclusion, and respect is the right thing to do because it’s what makes us strong and unique. To mark this important date, the studio has developed and participated in a number of initiatives to raise awareness of these issues among the public and our colleagues.

DIVERSITY microlearning on gender plurality
Our colleagues were invited to participate in a micro-training session aimed at combating resistance to change by raising awareness of the experiences of people of gender diversity. It was an opportunity to explore concepts that specifically address the realities of trans and non-binary people and to hear testimonials from people who have made transitions in the workplace.
The conference was facilitated by Interligne, a specialized support and information center for people affected by sexual orientation and gender plurality. Thank you to everyone who participated!
