Inclusion & Social Impact
Diversity / Equity / Inclusion
¡Bienvenidos! We are a group of Latinx/Hispanic employees who are united by experiences, food, language and so many aspects of our cultures. We come together as a familia which means family in Spanish and Portuguese, and our purpose is to foster the professional development of our members in the interactive entertainment industry, as well as to facilitate recruitment and retention of our talent, while promoting awareness and inclusion of the Latinx/Hispanic community and culture.
We are The Pokémon Black Diaspora (TPBD) Employee Resource Group! Our aim is to aid in the creation of an inclusive company culture by providing a supportive and uplifting community for Black employees throughout TPCi. We’ll achieve this through education, community development, recruitment, and engagement with folks – inside and outside the office. We want to create a place where every Black employee has a space where they can collaborate, relax, and empower each other throughout their daily lives. Black excellence and Black representation!
Welcome to the Rainbow Gym, TPCi’s official Employee Resource Group on a mission to celebrate LGBTQIA+ employees! In addition to creating a safe place for queer folks and allies, we provide helpful resources to allow for open discussions and internal support, with the understanding of the intersectionalities of the larger community. The Rainbow Gym works with leaders and departments to promote inclusion at all levels, including initiatives related to engagement, talent acquisition, professional development, and community-building.
Women of Pokémon (WxP) is committed to empowering all TPCi employees who identify as women, non-binary people, and all people of marginalized genders. WxP will partner widely with a broad group of cohorts to identify and promote equity. Specifically, WxP strives to achieve equity in development, recruitment strategies, retention, and networking opportunities for all people of marginalized genders at TPCi. WxP’s focus is to identify and help activate areas that will provide increased internal support for employees while serving as a helpful resource and fostering a sense of safety for the WxP constituency.
At the TPCi Parents ERG, we’re building off the love for children and family exemplified in the Pokémon brand in order empower parents to thrive both at work and at home!
Parenthood is an ever-evolving journey that intersects all aspects of life and comes in many shapes. This group recognizes that by improving support for parents within TPCi, we will attract and retain talent and improve employee engagement among those who identify as parents. This will be done through advancing company-focused initiatives such as advancing resources and benefits while providing speakers and coaching. We will also promote networking initiatives and a community of support.
