Yesterday T+ L Co. PRIDE International Board Chair the esteemed Sam Goswami and Board member, Tracy Macarthur hosted Brett Michael Innes and his husband Nick Ahlers-Innes in a webinar Voices Unheard - A Pride and Faith Dialogue touching on Brett's journey and experiences with the the church and faith as he navigated coming out. The powerful and insightful webinar of conversation, connection and love. According to Diversity Council Australia Ltd’s report Out at Work: From Prejudice to Pride, just 32 per cent of #LGBTQI+ employees surveyed were out to everyone they work with. But 74 per cent of those surveyed said it was important to them to be able to be out at work. The reasons why a person may not be out to their colleagues are often personal, however employers can take steps to create a safe, inclusive culture where LGBTQI+ employees feel more welcomed and able to be themselves at work. According to the report, LGBTQI+ people in inclusive cultures were three times more likely to be out to their colleagues. The webinar is part of the PRIDE International DRG's continuous effort to celebrate diversity and promote understanding across all spectrums of identify. T + L Co. also celebrated PRIDE month at the T + L Co. Support Service Inc, Clark, Philippines. When a person feels that they have to act differently at work than they do with family and friends, it’s known as code-switching. Code-switching in order to fit in can take an exhausting toll. And it is possible to create a workplace where employees don’t need to code-switch. This Pride Month, T + L Co is taking steps and make sure their LGBTQI+ employees are enabled and empowered at work. The benefits are numerous; the Out at Work report notes that LGBTQI+ employees who are out at work are more innovative, more likely to be effective in their team, and more likely to provide excellent service, than those who aren’t out. To find out more about code-switching in the Getting it Right podcast at https://lnkd.in/g2c5P9ne Read the Out at Work report on the Diversity Council Australia website.

Thank you Susanna Rantanen for the recommendation of this episode of your podcast ❤️ These are the highlights I learnt from Heidi Pech: ⚡ DEI policies are more than a 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲 and really depends on which 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 you approach this topic. ⚡ It is very difficult to develop a policy about inclusion, regardless of the topic, if you don’t experience it from firsthand, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 and 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 yourself of people that represent this perspectives. Focus groups are crucial! ⚡ Biases are in the DNA of the society. Therefore, they are in the structures and processes of organizations. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯? 👉 The more knowledge you have about unconscious bias the more opportunities you have for mitigate them. ⚡ We can do a lot but not all at the same time. It has to be built day by day.

I don’t believe in work-life balance. There are only 24 hours in a day, and you can’t do it all every day. The game is finding ways to do what is most important to you on most days. You have one life with many dimensions, and you must find ways to integrate your work and your life in order to be the best worker, partner, friend, mother and self. I had the best time chatting with Jim Stengel from The CMO Podcast by Gallery Media Group on women’s sports, how to navigate your work-life during different life stages, career advice, and so much more.

New pocast Alert!! In todays episode of Lessons From The Ashes, we look at the fashion industry. The fashion industry has a well-documented reputation for falling short on inclusion. While there have been strides towards a more equitable space, there are many challenges that persist. Studies show companies with homogenous leadership teams underperform compared to those with diverse representation. A more inclusive environment fosters creativity, innovation, and a better understanding of the customer base. Our podcast delved deeper into Arcadia's case as an example, but it's certainly not the only one. Many fashion brands struggle to represent the beautiful tapestry of cultures and backgrounds that make up the world we live in. So, what can be done? Consumers have sent a strong message by showing increased support for brands that prioritise inclusion, putting those that do not care about their employees in a difficult position. The fashion industry can be a powerful force for good. By embracing wellbeing and inclusion, we can ensure it thrives not just in spite of, but because of the rich tapestry of voices and perspectives it represents. Who would you like us to analyse next? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and together we can help ensure your organisation isn't the next cautionary tale.
