Equity and inclusion is always front of my mind in my daily life, no more so than during Pride month. But what can you do when Pride Month is over? Turns out, there is a lot and you don't have to wait another 11 months to focus on #Pride and #Inclusion ☺️ As an ally, I've looked at how all of us can take meaningful actions to create an inclusive environment (anywhere, not just the workplace): 📖 Educate yourself on LGBTQI+ issues. 🗣️ Speak up against discrimination. ♥️ Use inclusive language. 🏳️🌈 Support LGBTQI+ initiatives. 📣 Be visible and vocal in your support. 👂 Listen and offer support. 🛡️ Promote a safe and inclusive workplace At Dimply, we recently reflected on our internal policies and introduced enhanced Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Policy, Social Value Policy, and "The One Dimply Way."

🌟 Celebrating Courage and Change: The Importance of Rosa Parks Day 🌟 Let's chat about an incredible day that's all about bravery, standing up for what's right, and making a difference: Rosa Parks Day! 🚌✨ Rosa Parks was a superhero without a cape. On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, she did something extraordinary. She refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white person, defying the unfair laws of the time. This bold move kick-started a massive movement for equal rights in America. 💪 So, why is this day so important? 🤔 Rosa Parks Day isn't just a history lesson; it's a day that reminds us all to stand up for fairness, equality, and respect for everyone, no matter what they look like or where they come from. It's about recognizing the strength in our differences and working together to make our communities and workplaces more welcoming for all. This ties perfectly into #DEI - Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. These three big words are all about creating spaces where everyone feels valued and included. Rosa Parks showed us that one person's actions can spark change and inspire others to work towards a world where everyone has equal opportunities to succeed and be heard. 🌍👫 So today, let's honor Rosa Parks by embracing #diversity, striving for #equity, and including everyone's voices in our conversations. We all have the power to make a difference, just like Rosa did. 🚀 Let's be the change-makers of today! How will you promote DEI in your workplace or community? Share your thoughts and let's get the conversation started! #RosaParksDay #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #BeTheChange

Hi Connections, It takes no compromise to give people their rights. It takes no money to respect an individual. It take no political deal to give people freedom. It requires no survey to remove repression. It just takes a small step towards inclusion. Change your thoughts and allow your action to make the difference. #PiramalCapitalandHousingFinanceLimited #PrideatPiramal #PrideMonth #Hiring #LGBTQIAplus #CommunityMembers Connect : Siddhartha.gupta@piramal.com

Now is the time to reflect and remember that while Pride may be highlighted and celebrated once a year, our colleagues, friends, and family deserve to experience support all year round. Being an ally means taking meaningful actions to create an inclusive environment. Eoin O Shea, our Head of People & Culture, has shared some valuable ways you can be an ally: 📖 Educate yourself on LGBTQI+ issues. 🗣️ Speak up against discrimination. ❤️ Use inclusive language. 🏳️🌈 Support LGBTQI+ initiatives. 📣 Be visible and vocal in your support. 👂 Listen and offer support. 🛡️ Promote a safe and inclusive workplace.

📷 Cobalt’s ‘Out’ and About event last Friday organised by Kate Peers-McQueen and Ciarán Nicholl - but why do we celebrate pride events? Celebrating Pride events in corporate spaces is crucial to foster an inclusive and supportive work environment, and ensure our LGBTQIA+ employees feel valued and respected. We also aim to bring awareness and understanding among all staff, and foster allyship. At our event, we tried to give back to the community by supporting queer-owned small breweries and brands, purchasing products from Luv Jus and PROUD Beer. Trying to give back to the community can be hard if you don’t know where to go, but there is a company trying to fix this. ‘Everywhere is Queer’ is an app that has documented over 500 queer-run businesses across the globe. Fostering inclusivity and support doesn’t stop on the 30th of June, and within Cobalt we champion inclusivity everyday, not just internally but within our clients also. We speak to decision-makers across the real estate industry daily, and with the support of our Head of Inclusion, Megan Bond, our team are well-prepared to consult with our clients on inclusive hiring practices to ensure everyone entering a business can feel comfortable. #Pride #Pride2024 #CobaltCares

Celebrating Pride Month with Commitment to Allyship. At VELUX we believe in fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can be their authentic selves. In celebration of Pride Month, we hosted a global event on June 17th titled "Learning how to be an inclusive colleague: LGBTQIA+ edition" where we discussed how to "break the cycle of silence" and promote open dialogue and understanding about the LGBTQIA+ community. The event, attended by about 140 colleagues from many different countries, featured an inspiring opening speech by our EVP for People & Organisation, Iben Schmidt Helbirk and speeches by DEI experts, Ashley Williams from Pearn Kandola LLP; and Louise Marie Genefke and Nikoline Nybo from Inclusify. Participants left with a deeper appreciation for diversity, stronger interpersonal connections, and practical strategies for being inclusive colleagues. Here are some of the takeaways from the event: Avoiding open dialogue about the LGBTQIA+ community perpetuates biases and limits understanding. Meaningful conversations are crucial in normalising diverse ways of living and being a family. Also, there are various roles you can take to be a good ally, including: ◾ Understanding the lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals ◾ Challenging assumptions ◾ Practicing introspection ◾ Educating oneself and others ◾ Taking action against inappropriate behaviors We are committed to breaking the silence, educating ourselves, and supporting one another. Together, we can create a more inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive, develop, and perform at their best. Let's continue to champion allyship and celebrate diversity every day! #PrideMonth #Allyship #Inclusion #Diversity #BrighterFuture

April is Celebrate Diversity Month and Edelstein’s IDEA Council will be recognizing this through weekly trivia questions. This week's question is: What does the term "equity" refer to in the context of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB)? A. Ensuring that everyone is treated exactly the same, regardless of individual differences. B. Providing fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all individuals, while striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups. C. Creating a sense of unity and cohesion within a diverse community, where individuals feel valued and respected. D. Promoting the representation of diverse perspectives and identities within decision-making processes and organizational structures. Drop your answer in the comments! #CelebrateDiversityMonth

As a Collins leader, I know the importance of an inclusive work environment – a place where everyone feels seen, respected, valued and safe. It’s how we cultivate a sense of belonging and how we become even more open to the experiences and perspectives of others. I recently learned about the Platinum Rule – which goes above and beyond the Golden Rule: Treat others how they like to be treated. This is an important distinction, and the first step in practicing it is learning more about your colleagues. Today I'm sharing a few things that make me, me. Feel free to share a little more about yourself in the comments. As we celebrate Inclusion Week at RTX, I challenge each of you to learn a little more about one another. #RTXInclusionWeek
