As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, let’s not forget this year’s theme “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together.” Coqual’s latest report, “More Than A Monolith: The Advancement of Hispanic & Latino/a Professionals” finds that many H/L professionals, particularly Latinas, say their company does not pay them an appropriate wage and that their salary doesn’t allow them to support their dependents. There is still much work to be done! Let’s work together to address the challenges that the Hispanic and Latino/a community face and build inclusive and equitable workplaces for all.  #MoreThanAMonolith #HispanicHeritageMonth #HHM #DEI

As we kick off Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate this year’s theme “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together.” In our latest report, More Than A Monolith: The Advancement of Hispanic & Latino/a Talent, #Coqual finds many Hispanic & Latino/a professionals are misunderstood, stereotyped and underrepresented in the workplace. Career success doesn’t come from hard work alone. It also requires access to leaders who open doors. Having a sponsor, a senior advocate at their company who is willing to use their power and influence to help advance their career, is an important, career-making relationship. Effective sponsors should encourage their sponsees to bring their authentic selves to work. For more than a decade, Coqual Advisory® sponsorship tools and programs have been showing companies (and leaders) how to make this intentional.

Thank you Latino Leadership Institute and research advisor Joelle Martinez for your partnership and help amplifying this important report. We hope the data and findings help empower leaders to build workplaces that foster trust and support Hispanic and Latino/a professionals.

Today is National Disability Independence Day. Join us as we celebrate the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). While progress has been made, there’s still work to be done. #Coqual’s Equity research finds that professionals with disabilities don’t always feel they’re being evaluated fairly. Additionally, their coworkers underestimate their intelligence and assume they are more junior or less credentialed than they are. It’s essential to create workplaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and heard. Coqual Advisory® experts can provide framework, programs, and tools to help leaders listen, support and advocate for all employees. Reach out to Advisory@Coqual.org for more information. Let's continue to advance accessibility and foster a sense of belonging for all professionals. #NationalDisabilityIndependenceDay #ADA #accessibility
