🌈 Leaders, Your Role in Supporting Pride ERGs is Crucial 🌈 As we celebrate Pride Month, it's vital to reflect on how we support our Pride Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). To help with this, we have designed a toolkit. Cultivating connection and growing community across ERGs, both internally and externally, is important if we are to enable impactful change across our organisations and meaningfully partner with LGBTQ+ communities. By bringing LGBTQ+ employee network leaders together to knowledge-share and build, we can create the support networks needed. This can help us better understand how each group are navigating their own change journeys and help create more inclusive environments where all LGBTQ+ employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.

How good are you at embracing diversity (personally and professionally)? It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Roger Wilson to run an expert session at our Vistage UK meeting yesterday. We learnt so much from this informative session, we asked the difficult questions and were honest about how our own belief systems might be holding us back. Diversity isn't just about visible differences; it's about honoring every individual's unique identity, including those in the LGBTQ+ community. Embracing LGBTQ+ diversity enriches our workplaces, fostering creativity, empathy, and a culture of acceptance. Are you brilliant at this in your business? Are you just as good in your personal life? We all agreed (honestly) that we could do better and we committed to take action to champion inclusivity and create environments where everyone feels valued and respected for who they are. If you’re looking to join a leadership group that will develop you both professionally and personally then please do get in touch. #DiversityandInclusion #LGBTQ+ #equalitymatters

Welcome Pride Month! It is a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and honor the ongoing efforts toward equality and inclusion. Here are 3 ways to celebrate Pride Month: 1) Host Educational Sessions - Help coordinate a session of education and camaraderie during the year to educate employees about LGBTQ+ history, rights, and issues. Providing educational opportunities helps raise awareness, dispel myths, and promote understanding can help make a difference. 2) Show Visible Support - Display your support by wearing Pride-themed clothing or decorating your workspace with Pride-themed accessories. These visible signs of support can help demonstrate our commitment to inclusion and create a welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ employees and allies. 3) Inclusive Language and Communication- Use preferred pronouns in email signatures and during introductions; ensure your communications reflect a commitment to inclusivity and respect. Happy Pride Month to all! #PrideMonth #Pride2024 #LGBTQ #InclusionMatters #DiversityAndInclusion #CelebrateDiversity #sundt #construction #DEI

This week, we marked National Coming Out Day. Originally, it was a day that was designed to show love and support for LGBTQ+ youth, but today we know that it can have important meaning for people of all ages, including adults in the working world. In 2023, here's what we know: Almost half of LGBTQ+ employees in the US think being “out” at work could harm their careers. There is so much heartbreak in that statistic, but every single one of us has the power to make a change. At work, at home, and in our communities, supporting one another is always the key. A colleague who comes out to us at work (this can be a process and take many forms) deserves to be supported, included and celebrated by co-workers and leadership. Read more about the complexities and opportunities of coming out at work in the link in the comments. #nationalcomingoutday #comingout #comingoutatwork #inclusiveleadership #inclusiveworkplaces #inclusivevalues #lgbtqrights #lgbtqcommunity #employeesatisfaction #employeerecruitment #employeeretention #forbes

Pride Month has begun! 🌈 You see so many companies get the bad press for showing up & supporting during this month, which seems slightly unfair. Pride is a celebration of people coming together in love & friendship, to show just how far LGBTQ+ rights have come, and how in some places there's still work to be done and that should be recognised. 👏 When the month is over I know Light & Wonder will still be supporting its Creators by: - Being passionate about its values - #CelebratePerspectives ✅ - Supporting it's Employee Resource Groups (ERGs - EMBRACE 💕) ✅ - Continually looking for ways to improve in such areas like diversity, equity & inclusion ✅ However you support/celebrate - enjoy the Month. Life's too short not to...

Talking about diversity is inherently emotional and can be complex. However, doing the work and research to understand basic facts about any community can make any interaction more inclusive and meaningful. Reviewing your company policies for LGBTQ+ inclusion is a great place to start. Alongside this, LGBTQ+-specific training as part of your overall EDI (equity, diversity and inclusion) training strategy is key to enlightening all staff about LGBTQ+ issues and reinforcing company policies to ensure all understand them. ⭐For HR policy advice, book a FREE 15 minute consultation with a member of our team.⭐ Click the link in our bio or email hello@alittlebitofhr.com. 🏳️🌈 #LGBTHistoryMonth #LGBTQ+ #InclusivePolicies #GenderInclusive #ALittleBitOfHR
