Embracing and supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community is a business imperative. It fosters a heightened sense of belonging and celebrates different perspectives. Join a member of the Cummins Pride Employee Resource Group as they share their perspective on this topic and how vital it is to feel heard, seen and celebrated in your daily life as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Meet the Speakers

Michael Verk

Michael started his career as a software engineer at a small company back in those days when software engineering meant you would sit in a room for 8 hours a day hardly talking to anyone. After a few years he took a new position as helpdesk employee at a company that’s recognized as a global player in the dredging market. That role got him back in touch with the people and was well suited for him. Within a short period of time, he became the leader of the team.

After this role, he moved on to other multinationals holding various team lead roles in helpdesk. Michael joined Cummins 13 years ago and he immediately felt a sense of belonging and resonated with the Cummins core values. As part of the Pride Employee Resource Group at Cummins, Michael values Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and how the organization supports and encourages their employees to bring their true self to work.

About Diversity Reboot Summit

Pride is a time for celebration, but it is also a time for reflection on the decades of advocacy to overcome the systemic inequality that has impacted and still impacts the LGBTQIA+ community — and not just in the world, but also in the workplace.

Our Pride summit will bring together individuals, leaders, and organizations to discuss concrete actions they are taking to increase representation in various industries, showcase members of our community who are making an impact, and highlight those companies actively hiring and investing in LGBTQIA+ talent.

The summit will conclude an LGBTQIA+ virtual job fair featuring companies who keep their Pride flags flying all year long, not just in the month of June.
