Chevo Consulting, LLC’s Post

Late last year we continued our journey towards LGBTQ+ inclusion with the establishment of a new employee network. HI-VIS (Highlighting Inclusion and Diversity on Infrastructure Sites) is an employee-led initiative established to provide support and resources and promote LGBTQ+ inclusion and engagement in our work environments. Led by Co-Chairs Nathan Mete and Mitch Jones, with Dr James Glastonbury as our Executive Sponsor, we are committed to playing a role in proactively sponsoring greater inclusion for our LGBTQ+ community. An important part of this journey is becoming a member of Pride in Diversity, a not-for-profit employer support program for LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion specialising in HR, organisational change and workplace diversity. Pride in Diversity publishes the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI), Australia’s national benchmarking instrument for LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion from which Top Employers for LGBTQ+ people is determined. Recognising and embracing diversity and inclusion in the workplace isn’t just a moral imperative; it's a strategic necessity. Not only can the elevation of diverse perspectives fuel innovation, creativity and act as core drivers of our collective success – it’s also the right thing to do. We look forward to watching this community and wider industry thrive as we make progress towards a safe and positive culture for everyone. 🌈    #PrideInDiversity #LGBTQ #Inclusion #Equality #Diversity

As a member of the LGBT communities, I acknowledge the steps that different communities take to acknowledge and support these communities during #PrideMonth2024 and every year. Some ask if it is still needed. I am reminded of the: 64 countries where privately lived homosexuality is illegal; 12 countries which impose the death penalty for privately lived homosexuality; and 14 countries which criminalise gender identity being expressed by members of the trans community. Those who live and love freely do not need to be grateful for having the same freedoms afforded to others. We should never, however, take the right to live and love freely for granted. Laws and views change. We should never pull up the drawbridge behind us but remember the experience is not the same for everyone. The case for change is not over until all humans can live and love with whichever adult they choose. Finally, I never assume that negative views when expressed are always founded on intolerance and hatred. Even if sometimes they obviously are. Views and reactions can sometimes come from ignorance or lack of experience or exposure to these communities and their members. Where this is the case our reaction should be to help people understand rather than point the finger of expectation and judgment. Understanding and empathy is iterative and context specific, not absolute. However uncomfortable that is. Inclusion and understanding are verbs rather than nouns. They are not flags and festivals. They are not the lived experience of too many people. They need an active demonstration and intention every day. Not just in one month per year. The fact, however, that visibility and expression of solidarity does happen during this month is a solid way to chip away at barriers to understanding and progress. More to do but many steps already taken. #harperadamsuniversity #harperadamsstudentsunion #lovecanbefree #lgbt #pride #inclusion #empathy #understanding #insight GatenbySanderson Joseph Galliano-Doig MBE Harper Adams University Harper Adams Students' Union

How could you be a better Ally to LGBT+ coworkers? Here are a few ideas: 1. Show support by participating in events. Active involvement helps create an inclusive workplace. 2. Never disclose someone's LGBT+ identity without consent. Prioritise their well-being and autonomy. 3. Engage in one-on-one conversations with LGBT+ colleagues to understand their perspectives. 4. Be aware of potential safety concerns for LGBT+ individuals travelling for work to countries with threatened LGBT+ rights. 5. Examine internal processes for hiring, mentoring, and promoting. Strive for fair opportunities and create diverse and inclusive teams. #LGBTjobs #Allyship #LGBTCareerOpportunities #Jobboard #InclusiveRecruitment
