Our LGTBIQ+ commitment
Diversity and inclusion are fundamental values at Sinews MTI. We have a strong commitment of being a safe space for our team and our clients, regardless their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
We appreciate and promote diversity, which enriches us and makes us grow. Since our start as a multilingual space, we have enthusiastically embraced the challenge of serving different cultural, religious, and linguistic realities… and, at the same time, we have understood that for many people it is important to work with professionals who share the same minority stress (whether it’s racial, religious, gender-related…).
We are aware of how LGTBphobia can affect LGTBIQ+ communities, their well-being, and their mental health. We also know that many people avoid seeking therapy due to fears related to discussing their sexual orientation or gender identity with a therapeutic team. Therefore, we understand that it is our responsibility to explicitly communicate our commitment, which we take with absolute seriousness.
At Sinews MTI, we implement various measures to ensure that these values are more than just words:
Continuous training
- Ongoing and updated training in equality, diversity, and inclusion for both the HR department and the rest of the team.
Recruiting policies
- Inclusion in Job Offers: Our job offers are explicitly open to individuals of different age groups, genders, sexual orientations, races, religions, and functional abilities.
- Representation of Minoritized Groups: When candidates have equal qualifications, we give preference to individuals from underrepresented groups.
- Cultural Fit: We reject candidates who demonstrate ethical conflicts with our values, including the support of minorities, either during interviews or through the expression of xenophobic, homophobic, sexist opinions on social media.
Client communication
- Whistleblowing Channel: We have established an anonymous communication channel for anyone to report inappropriate or hurtful behavior.
- Inclusion of Non-Binary Identities: We include non-binary gender identity options in our client communication.
- Transparency Regarding Team Training: We provide information on our website about the specific training or special interest of our team in addressing the challenges faced by various minoritized identities.
