Thanks for having me including Ciara Fayle, Les, Sam, Craig Bates and the rest of the team. The Australian LGBTQ+ Inclusion Awards is an event celebrating and awarding Australia's top organisations for LGBTQ+ inclusion based on the results of the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI). The AWEI (https://lnkd.in/grc8nwGy) The AWEI now stands as the definitive national benchmark on LGBTQ workplace inclusion and comprises the largest and only national employee survey designed to gauge the overall impact of inclusion initiatives on organisational culture as well as identifying and non-identifying employees. The Index drives best practice in Australia and sets a comparative benchmark for Australian employers across all sectors. For this reason alone, the Index has to be comprehensive and rigorous. The work compiled annually by employers submitting for the Index is a testament to the importance of LGBTQ inclusion with their current D&I initiatives. #PrideInDiversity #AustralianLGBTQInclusionAwards #AWEI #AWEI2024 #bettertogether #cisco #splunk

It was a pleasure conducting multiple deep dive, masterclass workshops on: 🔬 Unconscious Bias 🌈 LGBTQ inclusion at the Workplace for the entire Human Resources team at Piramal Financial Services (and group of companies). Spread over 3 sessions over 7-8 hours, it was wonderful to interact with 150+ participants deeply committed to learning and continuous evolution, engaging proactively and committed to institutionalising inclusion for all. #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #DEI #UnconsciousBias

Rainbow Washing Pride Month #June As we step into June, the month dedicated to celebrating #Pride, it’s important to reflect on how we genuinely support the #LGBTQ+ community. While many companies will change their logos to rainbow colors, we must ask ourselves: Are they celebrating Pride every day, or is it just for show? Tips to Identify Rainbow Washing Initiatives: 1. Temporary Branding Changes: - Look out for companies that change their logos and branding to rainbow colors only during Pride Month but fail to make long-term commitments to supporting the LGBTQ+ community. 2. Lack of Internal Policies: - Be wary of businesses that promote Pride externally but do not have inclusive policies, such as non-discrimination policies, for their employees. 3. No Tangible Support: - Identify companies that use Pride imagery in their marketing but do not donate to LGBTQ+ causes or support LGBTQ+ organisations. 4. Inconsistent Advocacy: - Notice brands that show support during Pride Month but remain silent or support anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and politicians the rest of the year. 5. Superficial Representation: - Watch for campaigns that feature token LGBTQ+ individuals without truly engaging with the community or understanding their issues. 6. Employee Treatment: - Consider the history of companies regarding their treatment of LGBTQ+ employees, despite their public Pride campaigns. 7. Lack of Accountability: - Be mindful of businesses that do not hold themselves accountable for past actions or fail to show transparency in their efforts to support the LGBTQ+ community. True allyship means advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion all year round. #PrideMonth #RainbowWashing #LGBTQ #Inclusion #Equality #Allyship

🌈 Celebrating Pride Month: Honouring the Visionaries Shaping Our Stories As we dive into Pride Month, I'm excited to highlight the incredible contributions of LGBTQ+ creators and artists who are revolutionising our industry. I truly believe in the transformative power of diverse voices to inspire, educate and create meaningful connections. The Impact of LGBTQ+ Creators 1. Trailblazers in Creativity: LGBTQ+ creators consistently break new ground with their innovative ideas and bold storytelling, challenging the status quo and expanding our creative horizons. 2.

Cultural Enrichment: By sharing their stories and viewpoints, LGBTQ+ creators enrich our cultural landscape, fostering greater understanding and empathy among audiences. 4. Visibility and Empowerment: Highlighting the work of LGBTQ+ creators helps empower underrepresented voices, providing role models for future generations and promoting a more inclusive industry.
