🏳️🌈 October marks LGBTQ+ History Month, a time to recognize the struggles and celebrate the contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. This month has been celebrated since 1994! 🚨 Did you know that workplace discrimination against LGBTQ+ employees was only officially banned in the U.S. in 2020? Despite this milestone, 1 in 2 LGBTQ+ employees still report facing discrimination at work. These statistics highlight the critical importance of anti-discrimination laws and protections. But legal protections are just the beginning. True equality requires ongoing efforts to foster inclusive hiring practices and create work environments where every employee feels safe and valued. 💡 Anti-discrimination laws are essential, but they are just the foundation. We must also focus on creating a culture of respect, inclusion, and understanding. #LGBTQHistoryMonth #WorkplaceInclusion

The fight for equality isn’t over, and understanding our history is crucial in fostering a more inclusive future. We believe in the power of knowledge and awareness. Join us as we honor the contributions of the LGBTQ+ community and commit to creating spaces where everyone can thrive. Want to deepen your organization’s understanding of LGBTQ+ issues?

This #PrideMonth, recruitment experts David Allen and Rose Boyer teamed up with our LGBTQ+ employee resource group Prism to compile a list of four ways you can show up as an ally at work. How are you helping foster acceptance and belonging for all in your workplace? 🌈 #LGBTQally #PrideatWork

Pride Month is about acceptance, equality and celebrating the work of LGBTQ+ people. But it isn’t just about the Pride Month flags, the LGBTQ+ Pride Month facts or Pride Month resources because LGBTQ+ inclusion should take place 365 days of the year. Making assumptions on sexuality, gender and sex, based on heteronormative ideas is not acceptable. Our plays share example of unacceptable behaviour at work or school. We work hard to educate, inspire and ignite discussions. Allyship in the workplace is crucial for inclusion and equality. Research shows that having just one strong ally can help reduce the possibility of suicidal thoughts of LGBTQ+ people by 40%. June is not just time for celebration, it’s also a time to raise awareness of issues that might be experienced being part of the LGBTQIA+. It shines a light on the unique challenges so that we can support each other better. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ+Inclusion #Allyship #EqualityForAll #LGBTQIA+ #AcceptanceMatters #SupportEachOther #TheatreInspiringChange
