Circana Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’s Post

As we celebrate Pride Month, let's take a moment to reflect on the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in our workplaces and communities. Embracing DEI not only enriches our environments but also drives innovation and growth. This month, let's commit to learning more about the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community, to understanding the challenges they face, and to taking action in support of their rights. Let's use this time to start conversations that matter, to share stories that inspire, and to build bridges that unite. Together, we can create a world where everyone is free to be themselves and where equality isn't just a goal, but a reality. #PrideMonth #DiversityAndInclusion #EqualityForAll

Celebrate Pride Month sustainably! As we celebrate Pride Month and honour the trailblazers who paved the way for LGBTQ+ rights, let's also commit to creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone, every day. At Thalia Waste Management, we believe in building a future where love and respect are universal. Whilst celebrating this month, let's also think about doing so sustainably. Here are a few tips to show your pride and love for the planet: ·      Use reusable pride flags and decorations. ·      Support LGBTQ+ businesses with sustainable practices. ·      Recycle your pride event materials properly. ·      Carpool or use public transport to pride events. Let’s make this Pride Month a celebration of love and sustainability! #PrideMonth #EqualityForAll #SustainablePride #WasteManagement #InclusiveWorkplace #LoveWins

Why Do Brands Only Show Their True Colors in June? 🌈 As it is Pride Month, I have been reflecting on the influx of rainbow logos and celebratory posts from brands across all industries. It is heartening to see so much support for the LGBTQ+ community, but it also raises an important question: Why do these expressions of solidarity often disappear once July begins? True allyship means standing by the LGBTQ+ community year-round, not just when it is trending. It is about ensuring inclusive policies, supporting LGBTQ+ employees and customers, and fostering a culture where everyone feels safe and valued every single day. So, as we bid farewell to another Pride Month, let's challenge ourselves and the brands we support to keep the spirit of Pride alive all year. 🌟 #PrideMonth #LGBTQAllyship #InclusiveWorkplaces #YearRoundSupport #TrueColors

As we approach the end of Pride Month, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the importance of allyship. Pride Month is a beautiful celebration of love, acceptance, and visibility for the LGBTQ+ community. But let's remember that support shouldn't be limited to these 30 days. Being an ally means showing up consistently, even when the rainbow flags come down. We're all on a journey of self-discovery and growth. As allies, it's crucial to keep learning, unlearning, and challenging biases. Attend workshops, read books, listen to diverse voices, and engage in conversations that expand your understanding. Allyship isn't performative—it's about action. Reach out to LGBTQ+ friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. Ask how they're doing, celebrate their victories, and stand by them during challenges. Amplify their voices and advocate for equal rights. None of us have all the answers so it's important to approach allyship with humility. Seek feedback, acknowledge mistakes, and commit to doing better. The more we learn, the stronger our support becomes. #PrideMonth #Allyship #LoveIsLove #InclusionMatters

As advocates for corporate social responsibility with a diverse team, we strive for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion because they're essential values. However, effectively communicating these values can be challenging for companies particularly during LGBTQ+ Pride Month when companies unveil rainbow-themed products and rebranding efforts. The phenomenon of "rainbow washing" has led to skepticism towards brands that seem to capitalize on the LGBTQ+ community, often resulting in fumbled Pride messaging or misaligned values. To ensure authenticity and alignment, our team uses 4 strategies to avoid rainbow washing, not only during Pride Month but every month: https://loom.ly/RaZ7KC4

Hey Marketers, It's Pride Month, but ditch the rainbow washing! This year, focus on REAL connections with the LGBTQ+ community. Ditch the fluff, deliver value. Pride merch is cool, but what about creating a valuable resource for the LGBTQ+ community? Think Skittles- it shows you understand their needs. Partner with LGBTQ+ creators. Let the community own the narrative. Amplify their voices and showcase their talent. True advocacy is about empowering others, not just tooting your own horn. Pride is year-round. Don't be a one-month wonder. Integrate LGBTQ+ support into your brand like MAC Cosmetics. Real allyship is a long-term commitment. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ+Ally #AuthenticMarketing

Happy pride month! 🏳️🌈❤️ As we step into this vibrant month of celebration, I want to take a moment to reflect on the importance of visibility for queer individuals in the office space. As a proud lesbian and poly person, I understand the profound impact that being seen and acknowledged can have on an individual. It's about more than just being present; it's about creating a space where we can all feel safe, supported, and free to express our true selves without fear. While we celebrate Pride, we must also confront the rise in hate crimes in Norway (as well as the rest of the world), a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for true equality. Let's stand united against such hate and advocate for a society where love and acceptance prevail. Visibility matters. It paves the way for understanding, acceptance, and change. This Pride, let's commit to fostering an environment where every voice is heard, every identity is respected, and every person can thrive. Here's to celebrating our unique journeys and the collective progress we've made. #Pride #Inclusivity #Visibility

This month, we stand proud and united to commemorate Pride Month, a celebration of love, diversity, acceptance, and self-expression. This is not just a time to acknowledge the struggles and victories of the LGBTQ+ community but also to reflect on the importance of creating a more inclusive and empathetic society. As we celebrate Pride, let us also remember the importance of allyship. Being an ally means supporting and standing up for the rights of those who identify as LGBTQ+. It means creating safe spaces at work and in our communities where everyone can be their authentic selves. It requires constant learning, understanding, and committing to equality and justice. This Pride month—and all year round—let's strive to spread love, promote inclusivity, and uplift each other. Because when one of us succeeds, we all do. How are you celebrating Pride month and promoting inclusivity in your community? #PrideMonth #Inclusivity #Allyship

#PrideMonth has marked an excellent time for me to personally reflect on the actions I can take each day to foster an inclusive and supportive environment on my teams and with my clients. This article featuring ten of my colleagues is a helpful guide.

June is Pride Month. For the LGBTQ+ community, #PrideMonth promotes dignity, equal rights, and self-affirmation and is a way of increasing society’s awareness of the issues they face. As companies engage in DEI planning and initiatives, it is key that all groups are represented. The acronym LGBTQ+ has been extended to encompass a more diverse group, most recently shown as LGBTQIA2s+, indicating the continued focus on inclusion for all. As an employer, are you ensuring a welcoming, supportive, and safe workplace for all people? Do you recognize the unique talents of each individual, helping create an environment that enables employees to do their best? ➡️Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gxec7-iv
