Rainbow Tick refutes claims it's a marketing ploy

From Morning Report, 7:51 am on 30 May 2019

The organisation Rainbow Tick is denying claims that its diversity and inclusion certificate is a marketing ploy for corporations.

On Wednesday we heard from queer and trans employees who felt unsafe in their Rainbow Tick certified workplaces, including Kim, a transgender woman who worked at a Fletcher Building subsidiary.

She told RNZ reporter Murphy that colleagues bullied her because of her gender identity, and it had an immense impact on her mental health.

Michael Stevens is the founder of Rainbow Tick. He talks to Susie Ferguson.
