HIWFRS Inclusion

Today we mark #TransDayOfRemembrance here in HIWFRS by providing our employees with information and statistics on hate crime, suicide, and violence. We are also giving out pronoun pins and advice to our employees to promote an inclusive and safe environment for all.

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay! 🌍💚 A day to talk about mental health. To show everyone that mental health matters. And let people know that it’s okay to ask for help. #WMHD #WMHD2023
