Work in an environment where you can be yourself.
At Pretlak, we believe that diversity in a workplace provides a lot of benefits and nobody should be discriminated against. Employers supporting our manifesto therefore declare that they will create and maintain an inclusive workplace for their employees. That way the candidates can feel free to be themselves in their future jobs, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender, age, ethnicity, religion or medical disability.
👀 Why
#NOJUDGEMENT?
There are still a lot of people among us that have an outdated notion about how the “normal” person should look like, who should he or she love, what he or she should believe in, etc. We think that these “perfect templates” are just nonsense. And that’s why we fight to stop the judgment of the “different” and look only at the substantial as a society.
🥰 Happy
employees
are more productive
73 % of employees hiding their sexual orientation are more likely to leave their jobs within three years. More than 70 % LGBT people stated that they’re more likely to accept a job in a company openly supporting LGBT than in any other. Furthermore, engagement and productivity alone of LGBT employees diminishes in a hostile workplace by 30 %. Employers providing an inclusive atmosphere gain employees that are happier and more productive.

Inclusion
Inclusion is all about creating a safe environment in which each individual can be themselves. In this bias-free environment people tolerate and support each other and they have the same opportunities. A person in a functioning inclusive environment feels they fit in and doesn’t have to deal with any form of discrimination.
Diversity
The meaning of diversity or variety is a difference, or rather differences, between individuals or groups. Visible variety is a diversity in age, gender, ethnicity, religion, medical disability, sexual orientation, education or nationality. When talking about invisible diversity, we touch aspects such as different thinking, life experience or mental life.
LGBTQ+
Abbreviation LGBTQ+ is for sexual minority populations. These five letters represent lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, queer or ‘questioning’ people who are still not sure about their sexual preference. There are often other letters and the plus sign added for other sexual identities such as pansexuals, polyamorous people, asexuals, etc.
Queer
Queer is a common term for people not identified as heterosexual or cisgender (people with gender identity which matches the sex one was assigned at birth). This term is often interchanged with the term Drag Queen - an artist, often man, who dresses up in women’s clothes for an original artistic performance. Drag queens typically wear extravagant clothes, wigs and heavy make-up.
