Prism Employee Network: Vigor Lam鈥檚 Story
Finding a sense of belonging
As part of our Boldly Moving Forward Strategy, we鈥檙e focused on intentionally building deep, trusting relationships for our people and nurturing our inclusive culture, including in how we approach wellbeing.
Wellbeing is foundational to everything we鈥檙e able to do and accomplish. We continually evaluate our wellbeing programs and benefits to best support our people 鈥 and we鈥檙e sharing stories of how these programs and tools are helping each of us individually be at our best, so we鈥檙e able to do more 鈥 together.
In this feature, we connected with Project Engineer Vigor Lam to see how he found a sense of belonging with our Prism employee network.

Prism Employee Network
What prompted you to take advantage of this benefit?
When joining 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 back in December 2021, I knew I wanted to be part of a smaller (but also large) community of LGBTQ+ professionals across the globe that were building community both online and in different regions/states. I was fortunate to know a fellow Prism member (Daniel Souza) prior to starting at 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区. He got me plugged in immediately!
How did it help?
At my former company, there weren鈥檛 employee network groups dedicated to identities (e.g. racial, gender/sexuality) 鈥 so it was important for me to join a company that believes in this type of community and providing space for these respective identities. In joining Prism, I immediately felt connected to our global firm 鈥 from chatting with our Global Co-Chairs in the U.K./U.S. to the Americas Chair in Canada, knowing that this community exists, and what our JEN is advocating for in regions on behalf of colleagues that don鈥檛 feel as safe to be themselves, is so powerful.
What did you like most?
I love connecting with the colleagues I wouldn鈥檛 be able to interact with on a daily/weekly/monthly basis otherwise because they are in different regions and business units. The leaders of Prism truly care for our wellbeing and helping members live authentically in and out of work.
Are you still part of the network?
Yes! I currently serve as the Americas Engagement Lead 鈥 so I鈥檓 supporting our Americas region to create external partnerships with other firm鈥檚 LGTBQ+ employee network groups, as well as LGBTQ+ organizations. One of the main organizational relationships I鈥檝e helped cultivate is with BuildOUT, an industry association focused on connecting small/local LGBTQ+ firms with architecture, engineering and construction firms like 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区.
What do you want others to know?
Being part of a global company there are so, so many opportunities at 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区!
