Pride month, which takes place every year in June, reminds us that true inclusivity in the workplace protects, supports and nurtures every individual - allowing them a voice and to be heard. Also, that organisations benefit from an inclusive workforce. 🌈 "When everyone is included, everyone wins." Jesse Jackson. We want to highlight a podcast from the 'McKinsey Talks Talent' series, featuring Diana Ellsworth leader of DE&I at the consulting firm. As well as covering research into the real life experiences of LGBTQ+ employees, the discussion covers actions employers can take to foster diversity, from recruitment and on into the everyday.

#MondayManagers' Tip- From Memorial Day to Juneteenth and LGBTQ+ History Month, finding the best way to appreciate our staff and colleagues is often challenging. Great news: research shows every manager can improve through intentional engagement. A great starting point is having authentic, respectful, and meaningful one-on-one conversations to appreciate everyone's perspective. Often times, our workforce doesn't expect bold, revolutionary decisions but rather a clear, consistent effort to listen and understand. We can't improve anyone's experience if we don't first seek to acknowledge it.
