This month we celebrated #PrideMonth, a time to honour the LGBTQ+ community's history and resilience. But let's go beyond the rainbow and delve into the history that fuels our fight for equality. The Stonewall Riots of 1969, a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ activism, were sparked by a courageous stand against police harassment. This ignited a movement for equal rights and acceptance, and continues to inspire us today. However, Pride is about more than just celebrating identity. It's about creating a truly inclusive environment. But how do we do that? a. Educate yourself: Learn about LGBTQ+ history, terminology and experiences. b. Challenge bias: Be mindful of unconscious biases and create a safe space for open conversations. c. Advocate for equality: Support LGBTQ+ rights and initiatives within your company and community. d. Be an ally. Speak up against discrimination and promote inclusivity. Let's celebrate the progress made and continue working towards a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to be their authentic selves; not just during Pride month but all year round. #happypridemonth #pride #lgbtq #lgbtq+ #loveislove #inclusionforall #stonewall #fridayfeeling

Diversity goes beyond just appearances. It's about recognizing and celebrating the unique identities and experiences that each person brings to the table. How do we visually represent this in our daily lives and workspaces? Something as simple as adding flags to people in graphics can make a huge difference. It’s a way to show that we see and value every individual for who they are, creating an environment where everyone feels included and respected. In our graphics, we've incorporated flags to represent identities such as gay and trans, showcasing our support for the LGBTQ+ community. This simple visual addition is a powerful statement of inclusivity and acceptance. Let's continue to find ways to make diversity and inclusivity more visible and meaningful in our communities and workplaces. Because when we embrace each other’s true selves, we create a stronger, more vibrant world. #Diversity #Inclusion #LGBTQ+ #Pride #VisualRepresentation

There are few corporate initiatives as important as creating diverse, equitable, and inclusive spaces for the LGBTQ+ community.     According to EY, Gen Z is six times more likely to identify as LGBTQ+ compared to Gen X, and with Gen Z making up 30% of the workforce by 2030, this underscores the growing necessity for inclusive policies in the workplace.    While we celebrate and uplift the progress that has been made over the past few decades, we simultaneously acknowledge that we as a society have a long way to go in ensuring that every workplace embraces diversity, promotes equity, and empowers all individuals.     Our work in this space inspires deep hope for what's to come. We see the tides of change growing stronger each and every year as forward-looking organizations take bold steps towards a future that celebrates everyone.  #IgnitingBoldFutures #Inclusivity #PRIDE #LGBTQ

On a personal note Celebrating Pride Month is incredibly important to me. While we've made significant progress towards equality, the journey is far from over. In today's world, it's easy to assume that acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community equates to full equality. However, many LGBTQ+ individuals still face subtle biases and barriers that prevent them from being perceived as equally skilled or included in professional and social spheres. Inclusion goes beyond acceptance. It's about creating environments where everyone, regardless of their orientation or identity, feels valued and recognized for their abilities and contributions. We need to continue our efforts to challenge stereotypes, dismantle biases, and foster truly inclusive spaces. Let's use Pride Month not only to celebrate our progress but also to recommit to the ongoing work of ensuring that everyone can thrive authentically and equally. I still dream of a world where diversity is truly accepted and ideally even celebrated. A world where equality is a lived reality for all minorities. #PrideMonth #Equality #Inclusion #LGBTQ+ #Diversity #CelebrateProgress

🌈 Happy Pride Month – a time to celebrate love, diversity and equality!   We are proud to be an organisation that encourages LGBTQ+ colleagues to be their true selves.   But there's still a way to go when it comes to equality in the workplace...   Despite rainbow colours taking over social media every June, Human Rights Campaign has found that:  ➡️ 46% of LGBTQ+ workers don't feel comfortable being out in the workplace. ➡️ 1 in 5 LGBTQ+ workers have experienced coworkers suggesting or implying they dress in a more 'appropriate' way. ➡️ Negative interactions often don't get reported due to the belief that nothing will be done.   This month, we are taking the opportunity to raise awareness of the equity, diversity and inclusion challenges LGBTQ+ workers face and highlight some of the inspiring charities doing vital advocacy, support and activism in this space.   But Pride is not just a month, it is how we treat each other and allow each other to be completely themselves every day.   #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #Belonging

Happy Pride Month! 🌈 We celebrate diversity and inclusion every day, but Pride Month gives us an extra opportunity to show our support for the LGBTQ+ community. This month, we stand with our LGBTQ+ team members, clients, and partners, honoring their contributions and recognizing the importance of creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. We believe that diversity makes us stronger as a company, and we’re committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can bring their whole selves to work. Whether it’s through our policies, programs, or everyday interactions, we strive to create a culture of acceptance and belonging. Pride Month is also a time for reflection and education. It’s a chance for us to learn more about the history of the LGBTQ+ rights movement and the ongoing fight for equality. By educating ourselves and having open conversations, we can continue to be allies and advocates for change. So this Pride Month, let’s celebrate love, acceptance, and equality. Let’s stand together as allies and continue to build a more inclusive world for all. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ+ #DiversityandInclusion #Equality”

Pride Month may be over, but the fight for inclusion and LGBTQ+ equality continues every single day. This movement, born from the Stonewall Riots – a courageous act of resistance against discrimination – reminds us that true inclusion requires constant effort. When LGBTQ+ employees can bring their full, authentic selves to work, everyone benefits - especially the patients whom we serve. Endpoints News recently celebrated Pride Month with its annual feature on LGBTQ+ industry leaders, including BMS's own Francisco Ramírez-Valle, MD, PhD, FAAD. Please join me in recognizing the impact that this year's recipients make for patients. See the full list at https://lnkd.in/emg2tbY4. Sadly, showing that the fight for inclusion is not over, one individual selected by Endpoints for recognition this year asked not to be included, citing safety concerns arising from the current climate that the LGBTQ+ community faces. Let's celebrate the vibrant diversity of the LGBTQ+ community, not just in June, but every day and acknowledge that the fight is not over. Together, we can create a more inclusive and successful world for everyone, but that will require sustained effort and focus. And to the industry leader who could not accept recognition for safety reasons, we support you. #Pride #Inclusion #LGBTQ+ #Authenticity #Allies

As the spotlight shines brightly on the LGBTQ+ community across numerous organizations throughout this dedicated month, we are poised to harness this momentum. Our mission extends far beyond the boundaries of a single month, and we must seek to avoid performative activism and instead cultivate an environment of inclusivity that remains permanent, transforming our workplaces and wider society. EDGE insights explore Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) by considering both gender and intersectional equity. By removing homogeneity and looking at an individual’s own and unique traits – we can expressly recognize the differences that determine how a person experiences their time in, and contribution to, the workplace. This underscores the importance of recognizing LGBTQ+ identities and how these shape the workplace experience.
