Celebrating Pride Month at Filene: Fostering Belonging and Well-Being Through Actionable Research & Insights

In reflection of Pride Month 2025, we take a moment to celebrate and recognize its importance with our Filene community. This curated list of research and ideas is worthy of your time to read, gain insights to think forward, and take meaningful action to change lives.

Pride Month is a time to honor and support the LGBTQIA+ community, celebrating the differences that enrich our lives and our workplace. It is a reminder of the incredible strength and resilience shown by individuals who have fought for acceptance, and it gives us the opportunity to reflect on the progress that has been made, as well as the work that still lies ahead.

At Filene, we value everyone's unique identity and experiences. Pride Month serves as a powerful reminder of our commitment to fostering a supportive and welcoming environment for all. It is a chance for us to come together and be allies to our LGBTQIA+ colleagues.

Let’s take this time to celebrate the beauty of life, engage in meaningful conversations, and participate in events and activities that promote understanding and acceptance.

In Conclusion...A Powerful Narrative:

Belonging-focused ERG research emphasizes inclusive cultures, which alongside well-being frameworks, build environments where employees feel valued—unlocking their capacity to support and enhance well-being outcomes for credit union members

Filene's new Center of Excellence focus on Member Well-Being—both financial and holistic—reinforces this synergy, linking employee empowerment to enhanced member support. 

Together, these insights form a powerful narrative: when we prioritize belonging and well-being, we unlock the full potential of our people and our purpose.

This Pride Month, let’s commit to show up for one another, and continue building cultures within our organizations where everyone belongs.
