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

Pride month is winding down, but, as we’ve highlighted this month, so many amazing organizations and people support the LGBTQ+ community all year long. Out & Equal is celebrating these folks with their Outie Awards.

Building a diverse team can help nonprofits understand the varied needs of the communities they serve. But diversity alone isn't enough. Creating a culture of inclusion and belonging allows everyone to bring their unique perspectives and voices to the table. For LGBTQ+ professionals, finding this kind of culture can be challenging. The Deloitte Global 2023 LGBT+ Inclusion @ Work report found that 42% of LGBTQ+ employees experience non-inclusive behaviors at work. What's more, a third are looking to move to a more LGBTQ+ inclusive employer. So, what can you do as a manager or employee to help everyone feel like they belong? Here are five everyday actions that can make a difference. https://lnkd.in/gkET8YXU

As a gay human, it means a lot to me that my employer Husch Blackwell is genuinely dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment. Because DEI is in our strategic plan and engrained in our people-first culture, I feel like I can show up to work as my whole self. This is important because being able to show up to work authentically is the foundation for feeling valued and being engaged, which we all know leads to greater fulfilment and productivity as well as enhanced team and client outcomes. In my role as a coach and people developer, I often encourage our employees to show up to work authentically by focusing on bringing awareness to and developing their natural talents (i.e., their CliftonStrengths). As leaders, it's paramount to create a culture - defined by agreed upon acceptable behaviors - that prioritizes inclusion. When we prioritize inclusion, our people and our clients benefit. Life is simply too short to not live it authentically. #TeamHB #DEI #HRC #HumanRights #WorkplaceEqualityProgram
