Today, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, we reaffirm our commitment to equality in every facet of the organizations we touch. Our AEquacy organizational model proudly embraces diversity, and it is founded on the core principle of equality. This model isn’t just about policies or procedures; it’s about creating a workplace where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, is respected and valued equally. Let’s stand together against discrimination and continue to build an inclusive culture that champions diversity and equality. #IDAHOBIT #Equality #Inclusion #AEquacy

🌟 Non-Binary Awareness Week: Normalize Asking for Pronouns 🌟 This Non-Binary Awareness Week, let's emphasize the importance of inclusivity and respect by normalizing the practice of asking for pronouns. 💛 Ask and Respect: "Hi, my name is __. What pronouns do you use?" Simple and powerful. 🤍 Create Safe Spaces: Encourage open conversations and make everyone feel seen and respected. 💜 Be an Ally: Support your non-binary friends by using their correct pronouns and encouraging others to do the same. 🖤 Celebrate Diversity: Embrace the beautiful spectrum of gender identities. 🌟 Reminder: Gender identity cannot be assumed by someone's appearance. Together, we can foster a world where everyone feels recognized and valued.

As an organization that seeks to advance equity, diversity and inclusion (#EDI), we stand proudly and firmly together with the #2SLGBTQ+ community on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. This day reminds us of the ongoing struggle for equality and the importance of creating an #inclusive world for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Our research shows that 2SLGBTQ+ individuals continue to face significant barriers, especially in the workplace and in accessing leadership positions. These barriers not only affect their personal and professional lives, but also limit the diverse perspectives that are crucial for innovation and growth. #IDAHOBIT2024 #DiversityMatters #50_30Challenge #defi50_30

Fighting discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity reasons is at the center of the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia.   I want to mark this occasion by underlining our commitment, as Generali, to supporting and strengthening a concrete, inclusive work environment where everyone can express themselves freely.    Our voluntary Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) play a strategic role in this direction. The ERGs are present in many of the countries where we operate as a Global Group and act to favor a cultural transformation by overcoming gender bias in the work context. At a global level, #WePROUD and #TOGETHER are the two ERGs (with more than 5000 participants in their events) born to support the role of a #diverse workforce and promote #inclusive practices.    Every day, we can make a difference. Come out for human rights! https://lnkd.in/dbuMCGzr #IDAHOBIT #BeBoldForInclusion #LGBTQI #HumanRights

🚀 Championing LGBTQ2+ Inclusion in the Trades 🌈 At OAWA AB we strive for inclusion and advocacy for all. Here are 6 impactful ways we can support and uplift our LGBTQ2+ colleagues to create an inclusive and welcoming environment: Use Inclusive Language: Words matter. Make a conscious effort to use gender-neutral terms and respect preferred pronouns. Simple changes can make a big difference in making everyone feel welcome. Avoid Stereotypes: Challenge assumptions and stereotypes. Celebrate the individuality and diverse skills each person brings to the table. Listen and Learn: Be open to hearing the experiences of LGBTQ2+ individuals. Listening with empathy and seeking to understand their perspectives fosters a supportive community. Diversity Training: Participate in and advocate for diversity and inclusion training. These programs are essential in educating ourselves and others about the importance of an inclusive workplace. Safe Reporting Channels: Ensure there are confidential and safe ways for reporting discrimination or harassment. Everyone should feel secure in addressing concerns without fear of retaliation. Speak Up Against Discrimination: Be an ally. Stand up and speak out when you witness discrimination or harassment. Silence can be interpreted as acceptance, so let’s use our voices to advocate for equality. Together, we can build a trades community that values and respects everyone, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. 🌟 #WomenInTrades #LGBTQ2Support #InclusiveWorkplace #DiversityAndInclusion #Empowerment #AlliesInTheTrades

How can you foster better representation? Although there isn't a "silver bullet" to this question, the most important thing you must focus on is nurturing those within your organisation to feel comfortable talking about their sexuality and gender identity. ☝️ And, you guessed it - that certainly won't happen overnight. However, there are three key things you can start to do to help you create a safe, inclusive environment for LGBTQIA+ employees.

This #GenderEqualityMonth, let's champion a truly inclusive workplace. Equality goes beyond equal opportunities. It's about dismantling stereotypes, unconscious bias, and the societal norms that hold people back. Here's how we can make a difference: Educate ourselves: Stay informed about the challenges faced by diverse genders and sexualities in the workplace. Challenge bias: Speak up against discriminatory language and practices that limit potential. Embrace diversity: Recognize and celebrate the unique strengths and perspectives everyone brings to the table. By fostering a culture of inclusion, we can create a workplace where talent and character pave the way for success, not gender identity. What steps can we take in our own workplaces to promote #EqualityForAll? #BreakTheBias #ChallengeStereotypes #InclusionMatters #WomenEmpowerment #LGBTQIArights #EqualPay #WomensRights #HumanRights #SpeakUp #StandTogether

🏳️🌈Pride Month might be over but we are STILL PROUD 🏳️🌈 Inclusivity isn't just a one-month campaign; it's a year-round commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all. Which is why we are giving any company with an LGBTQl+ certification / pledge / initiative a discount on their first years membership so they can proudly showcase what makes them an inclusive place to work. Did you know: ❌ The NZ Out at Work survey found that 29% of LGBTQl+ respondents experienced discrimination or harassment in the workplace due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. 🏳️🌈 30% of Gen Z identifying as Rainbow 🙅 53% of LGBTQIA+ employees would turn down a job offer if the organization lacked a program supporting underrepresented groups. Creating an inclusive workplace means more than celebrating once a year. It's about respect, recognition, and relentless support every single day.
