ARTICLE WORTH READING! “Your Queer Career®: Work Advice from ‘The Gay Leadership Dude’” on Watermark. “Hello ‘Gay Leadership Dude®’ I’m hoping you can help me. I work for a smaller organization that doesn’t have any real diversity, equity and inclusion efforts (there’s a few things here and there). Some of us want to get resources to bring more formalized DE&I programming to our workplace, specifically get funding for an LGBTQ(+) employee resource group, but need to sell it to our senior leaders. They know this should be a strategic focus, but we need to share the big ‘why’ to them. Any thoughts?” ~ ERG Adam & Steve Read the article to see what advice I suggested. https://lnkd.in/exAWWc9N #lgbtqa #diversity #inclusion #thegayleadershipdude #leadership
