In June, we celebrate Pride Month. But LGBTQ+ inclusion is a year-round commitment. Recent anti-trans legislation has intensified the need for workplaces to actively foster a culture of acceptance and belonging. Discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals has devastating consequences, affecting mental health, career prospects, and overall well-being. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Creating an inclusive environment isn't just the right thing to do – it's a strategic business advantage. When employees feel safe and valued for who they are, they thrive. Their productivity soars, innovation flourishes, and your company becomes a magnet for top talent. Let's commit to building workplaces where every individual is empowered to bring their authentic selves to work, every single day. #GenderInclusion #WorkplaceWellbeing #InclusiveWorkplace #ESG #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ #LGBT 

Don't be a D**k! 🍆 It's that simple!🙌 It's only natural that Pride Month encourages us to highlight & publicise our DE&I policies! However, Pride is exactly that; a movement CELEBRATING the LGBTQ+ communities🌈. It COMMEMORATES years of struggles & oppression, and REJOICES in how far we've come🙌. Admittedly, there's still so much more to do👊. There's still ignorance, bias, stereotype & worse🤬. As Employers, I'd like to believe we'd never hire people who display those traits!⛔ I don't!🙋♀️ Ultimately, there's a very simple concept which we should all inherently aspire too . . . Don't be a D**k! 🍆 (That's my policy anyways)😉 #PrideMonth #Pride #LGBTQ+ #Equality #Diversity #Inclusion #Aspire #Innovate #Evolve #AspireRecruitmentServices #AspireRecruitmentServicesLtd

Our logo will not take on a rainbow tint this June. We might not make the bold posts you're likely accustomed to seeing during #PrideMonth. But that doesn't mean we don't stand in #solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. ✊ We've always championed continuous improvement. 🌈 In that same vein, we believe small acts of learning about the journey, accomplishments, and ongoing struggles of #LGBTQ can go a long way for redesign thinking. It's also how we can make workplaces more equitable for all. 🌎 That's why our work this year is more... introspective, you can say. 🏳️🌈 We believe that acceptance is more than a policy—it's a practice. This month and always, we stand with the LGBTQ+ community, ensuring our actions speak louder than our visuals. Happy Pride Month. ✨ #Pride2024 #PrideMonth2024 #LGBTQ #Inclusion #Diversity #Equality #HumanRights #LoveIsLove #Authenticity #Support #TogetherWeRise #BeYourself #Respect #Unity #Community #DiversityAndInclusion #StandTogether #LiveYourTruth #DEI #InclusiveCulture #Equity #Belonging #Empowerment

🏳️🌈Happy Pride Month from ASBN! Today, we commemorate the significant anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court Bostock decision–just four years ago on June 15th, 2020–a pivotal moment expanding protections to LGBTQ+ employees. ASBN (through ASBC) was on the frontlines of this decision and supported employees in the Bostock case in an Amici Brief with seven partners: American Independent Business Alliance, the Glendale Chamber of Commerce, the Good Business Colorado Association, the Greater Bostom Chamber of Commerce, Main Street Alliance, North Texas Commission, and Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce — making the business case for LGBTQ worker rights back in 2019. Not only is upholding equality for all employees the right thing to do, but it’s also good for business! 🌈Find out more and see the brief here: https://lnkd.in/eXS-VMaP 🌟 Businesses play a crucial role in protecting all workers' rights, health, and safety. This is not just a responsibility; it's a commitment to equality and inclusivity. 🌈 Join ASBN in championing diversity, fighting for respect, and pushing for equitable policies. 🌟 Stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ2S+ community this Pride Month! #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #LGBTQRights #Equality #Inclusivity #ASBN #Bostock

This 🏳️🌈Pride month, let's celebrate the incredible 2SLGBTQ+ community and hold companies accountable for their allyship. While rainbow logos are a nice gesture, they're a hollow display without concrete action. I'm out and proud, and for me, Pride is about progress. It's about creating workplaces where everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered to be their authentic selves. That means more than just hanging a flag for a month. It's about supporting 2SLGBTQ+ causes by donating to organizations that fight for equality and representation. It's about building diverse workforces by going beyond quotas and actively recruiting and hiring LGBTQ+ talent at all levels. It's about creating inclusive workplaces where everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered to be themselves. This 🏳️🌈Pride, let's hold corporations accountable. Let's celebrate companies that walk the walk, not just talk the talk. And to my fellow 2SLGBTQ+ professionals out there, let's keep pushing for the workplaces we deserve – ones that are truly diverse, equitable, and inclusive. #2SLGBTQ #inclusion #workplaceequality #pridemonth

🌈 I am honored to have attended the 2024 Equality Awards in California this month! 🌟 It was an incredible event celebrating inspirational leaders and outstanding allied organizations dedicated to creating a healthy, just, and equal world for all LGBTQ+ people. Being in the presence of top politicians and advocates like Barbara Lee and so many others was truly inspiring. Their commitment to equality and justice is unwavering, and it fills me with hope for a brighter future. ✨ The annual Equality Awards remind us of the progress we've made and the work that still lies ahead. It's a time to celebrate our achievements while renewing our collective commitment to the fight for full, lived equality — until the work is done. One of my highlights was the opportunity to connect with Kimberly N. M.. Her dedication and passion for this cause are truly remarkable, and sharing insights and ideas with her was an honor. Let's continue to stand together, advocate for change, and create a world where everyone is valued and respected. Together, we can make a difference! 🏳️🌈 #EqualityAwards #LGBTQ+ #Inclusion #Advocacy #Inspiration #ChangeManagement #OrganizationalDevelopment #OrganizationalDesign #NewhouseProjectConsulting #TalentEnhancement #StaffAugmentation #Staffing #DirectHire #OrganizationalChange #ConsultingServices #BusinessStrategy #LeadershipDevelopment #DigitalTransformation #AIAdvisory #ProjectManagement #CorporateCulture #StrategicPlanning #Culture #CultureTransformation #AITools #HiringSolutions #DirectHire

🌈 Pride Is Here: And So Is The Rainbow Washing! 🙃 Instead of me explaining what rainbow washing is, take a look at this clip from ‘The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie & Katya’ 🎤 Sometimes, a bit of humour helps drive the point home! 🤣 "HI GAY!! 😀🏳️🌈" keeps popping into my head when I see a company's Pride Month post, whether I mean it to or not 😅 As an LGBTQ+ professional, I find this funny but... a bit too real. While I appreciate visibility, I also want to see genuine commitment. Companies have a platform and a responsibility. Real support means more than a colourful logo & discount code. It's about inclusive workplaces, policy advocacy, and year-round allyship ✊ In social media, where authenticity is highly valued, people can spot the difference between genuine support and mere performance. Have you seen any rainbow washing yet? Or a good example of allyship? . . . . #PrideMonth #PrideMonth2024 #Inclusion #AuthenticAllyship #LGBTQ+ #LGBTQIA+ #Diversity #RainbowWashing #SocialMedia #PrideMarketing #Marketing

Corporate Pull-Back on Pride month? ❗The public-facing brands campaigns for Pride have shrunk after the conservative backlash. This acts as a severe blowback on the greater visibility that they offer to the people and cause of LGBTQ community.  ❗Some corporates are opting for behind-the-scenes allyship and have made commendable efforts to extend their support beyond the pride month alone. ❗But some companies who merely attempt to makes sales off Pride month have retreated this time. They have used the Pride regalia as a mere profitable marketing tactic that doesn’t offer a meaningful support. ❗Both types of organisations have a measurable effect on the people who are closeted, or who've come out in an environment that doesn't welcome who they are.  ❗So despite the best efforts of fringe groups to derail inclusion and acceptance, we believe companies will embrace the pro-equality spirit of business environment. #PrideMonth #LGBT #LGBTQ🏳️🌈 #TheEye #Inclusivity #imtghaziabad

#Pride month across the corporate world needs to be a moment where companies demonstrate that we walk the walk as well as talk the talk on #LGBT+ #inclusion. It has to be more that great events and new logos. So it is great to see Clifford Chance being named the top organisation by Windō in their transparency analysis. Windo have been working with Out & Equal on the metrics. Transparency is utterly essential for advancing inclusion for #LGBTQ+ people. We are an invisible population group (except when we step out of course!) so transparency by our employers is key to creating visibility, raising awareness, measuring success and also sending a clear message to #lgbt+ people that we are seen and valued in our workplaces. The metric also allows us to see even when we are doing well there is more to do and we need to use moments like this as a springboard to more action rather than just taking a bow. Plus it is always nice to win things! You can check out the full list and the other brilliant firms working hard on this here https://lnkd.in/deQG3C8w
