In 1969, after a series of gay liberation protests in New York City, most notably Stonewall, Pride Month was created.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In honor of international Pride, Steven Myers, Vice President of Talent Management and RingCentral Rainbow Alliance ERG member sat down with us to share his career journey as an LGBTQIA+ individual and discuss how RingCentral empowers individuals to live their most authentic lives at work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Leading a global team.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before joining RingCentral, Steven oversaw the HR business partner organization for video game publisher 2K Games. Steven has been in his current role as RingCentral\u2019s Vice President of Talent Management for about 10 months, leading a global team that includes the HR business partner organization, Learning and Development, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Despite holding a very serious role in human resources, Steven says he brings a certain light-heartedness along with a sense of humor to the job, qualities which are \u201chelpful in relationship building.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Career-building experiences<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the beginning of his career, Steven encountered some challenging professional environments but eventually found companies where he could be himself:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"quote-text-break-point\">\n<p class=\"qute-text\"><i>Early on, there were some workplaces where I did not feel supported and even experienced outright homophobia. Those experiences informed my decision to just be myself. Later, I found myself in organizations where I did feel comfortable and fully embraced and fortunately, that&#8217;s been the majority of my professional journey\u2014being able to bring my authentic self to work.<\/i> <\/p>\n<p class=\"quote-text-author\">\u2014Steven Myers, Vice President of Talent Management<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those early challenges helped him develop strength and resilience along with the determination to make the workplace an environment where everyone can thrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Affecting real change.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his current role, Steven is leveraging his unique perspective on inclusion to inform policy and affect substantive changes benefiting the LGBTQIA+ community. That starts with asking informed questions: Does this benefits package include coverage for same-sex partners? Do our benefits include gender-affirming healthcare? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are restrooms and gym facilities gender-inclusive? Writing employment policies that take into consideration the needs of the LGBTQIA+ community helps foster an inclusive workplace where everyone feels recognized, empowered, and supported.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Coming-out advice and support<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For individuals who want to come out at work, Steven advises having strong support systems both inside and outside of the workplace. In the past, he\u2019s had the privilege of helping a colleague navigate work-related challenges during their transition. Finding allies who can be a resource at work is imperative. At RingCentral, our Rainbow Alliance Employee Resource Group (ERG) provides a safe space for employees to share their experiences with like-minded individuals, a space for freedom, empowerment, and visibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Pride lineup.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, RingCentral hosted Pride celebrations virtually and on-site at many of RingCentral\u2019s US and international offices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"quote-text-break-point\">\n<p class=\"qute-text\"><i>Pride Month is a time of reflection, empowerment, and unity in the pursuit of equality and fairness for the LGBTQIA+ community in our workplaces, communities, and beyond.
