We’re proud to celebrate Pride Month, a time to honor and champion the LGBTQ+ community. When we bring together different backgrounds and perspectives, we spark innovation. True inclusion means creating spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. At Sama, we strive to embody these principles every day. 👇 How can we achieve this? 1️⃣ Promote awareness and education: Encourage open conversations and provide resources about LGBTQ+ issues. Awareness leads to understanding, which is the foundation of an inclusive culture. 2️⃣ Create safe spaces: Foster a culture of respect and understanding where every employee feels safe, respected, and able to be their authentic self without fear of judgment. 3️⃣ Support and empower: Actively listen to feedback from LGBTQ+ employees to understand their needs and challenges, ensuring their voices are heard and valued in shaping company culture. Inclusivity is not just a month-long initiative, it's a sustained commitment to understanding and embracing the unique experiences of each individual.

In #publicsafety , everyone is #family You spend more holidays with your co-workers than you do with your own family. Of course, you have that weird aunt or grumpy uncle but at the end of the day - regardless of race, gender, religious beliefs, sexuality, etc. Everyone loves eachother and supports eachother through those difficult calls. Coming over to the private sector, I didn’t know what to expect. #Thankful to have joined a company that welcomes #diversity and supports all employees. Verint has created a culture that embraces #inclusion while providing #opportunities and #support for everyone. #equality #employeeresourcegroup #ERG #diversity #verint #publicsector #publicsafety #community #bestplacestowork #culture #proud #together #verinteer #technology #techjobs #womenintech

Pride is not coming to a close. June is! Living with Pride isn't limited to a one-month celebration; it's a daily reality for many. Organisations must continuously support their employees, including those in the LGBTQ+ community, every single day. Suppose an organisation's only focus on doing the work—holding workshops, delivering education, and amplifying voices with unique lived experiences—is during June. In that case, that is nothing more than rainbow washing. This performative act gives the organisation more visibility and reduces risk, as it blends in with every other company that merely puts a rainbow over its logo for the month. A genuine commitment to diversity and inclusion means going beyond performative gestures and integrating these values into your organisation's culture year-round. Let's work towards genuine support and inclusion every day of the year. Let me be a part of your solution to addressing Pride 365. Contact me at cynthiafortlage@cynthiafortlage.com

As we celebrate Pride Month, let us also urge employers to foster workplaces that are inclusive and affirming of LGBTQ+ employees. By implementing inclusive policies, providing resources for LGBTQ+ support, and cultivating a culture of acceptance, businesses can create environments where everyone can thrive authentically.

Recognition matters because representation matters! Full disclosure: I worked on this program for nearly two years. I understand its integrity and know from experience that winners often go on to do even more amazing things (I.e., inclusive leaders pay it forward!). Out & Equal’s Outie Awards recognize inclusive leaders and strategic initiatives that are making positive changes in their workplaces (and beyond!) for LGBTQIA+ talent, and others! There are so many champions out there doing great work! Often quietly and without much support. Apply and help recognize these champions, while amplifying their efforts as role models for others to follow! #recognitionmatters #representationmatters #inclusiveleadership
