Celebrating Pride at Volue: A Sense of Belonging

Commentary by Kristin Wikstrøm, Chief HR Officer, Volue. Pride began as a protest.

The word ‘pride’ was chosen deliberately; a response to the shame that society had long tried to impose on people for who they were. As I write these words, I write them with those thoughts very much at the forefront of my mind.
