Whirlpool employees made this It Gets Better video. Whirlpool has a 100% rating on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Corporate Equality index for more than seven years. Here’s what they said upon releasing this video:
In honor of National Coming Out Day, Whirlpool Corporation’s employees posted a video to share an “It Gets Better†message with LGBT youth who are struggling with bullying and self-acceptance.
The It Gets Better campaign focuses on inspiring LGBT youth to overcome bullying and harassment, and hopes to prevent teen suicide as a result. The movement collects video submissions from individuals and organizations with a common theme – it gets better. The message is meant to encourage these young people to seek help if they are in crisis, and to provide hope that life will get better.
For 100 years, Whirlpool Corporation has focused on improving lives one home and one family at a time. The It Gets Better campaign supports that focus by addressing a problem that damages or destroys home and family life. Together, Whirlpool Corporation and the It Gets Better campaign strive to create an environment in which every person, everywhere, can support equality and contribute to the future and success of today’s youth.
