Support, a sense of belonging, and encouragement are key to employee growth, positive performance, and retention.  Employee Networks have stepped in to fulfill these basic human needs through the creation of a community that supports employees, champions inclusion and diversity, and reaches out to better the community around them for all people. The vitality of these employee groups cannot be overstated, and the hard work they do deserves recognition.  The oSTEM LGBTQ+ Employee Network of the Year Award highlights and applauds the work of an organization's employee network that embodies the oSTEM mission of empowering LGBTQ+ people in STEM to succeed personally, academically, and professionally through the cultivation of environments and communities that nurture innovation, leadership, and advocacy.
