Wishing our Montash, Remobi and Trillion communities a very Happy Pride Month. 🏳️🌈 Here are a few ways you can demonstrate your support during Pride Month and beyond: ❤️ Showcase LGBTQIA+ stories and voices- giving members opportunities to speak for themselves and represent their authentic experiences. 🧡 Share the ways your company is fighting for inclusivity and equality: such as raising donations for LGBTQIA+ charities, volunteering, equality policies and advocating for legislative change. 💛 Empower your employees with resources that educate and celebrate Pride and the wider community. 💚 Create and instigate conversations. Understand the issues. Allies are most supportive when they truly understand the issues that affect the LGBTQIA+ community. 💜 Partner with LGBTQIA+ organisations or influencers both during Pride Month and throughout the year. Pride should not be exclusive to June but an initiative throughout the year. Make it a year-round commitment & ensure your LGBTQIA+ employees feel valued, supported, and included every step of the way. 💪 #PrideMonth #HappyPride #LGBTQ #Community

Attention CEOs, COOs, and founders of LGBT organizations! Are you looking to expand your organization's online presence? A website is a great way to showcase your organization's mission, services, and achievements. Here are some reasons why having a website is important: 1. Credibility: Your organization's credibility and legitimacy show in how professional and established your website is. 2. Visibility: People can find you online and learn more about your organization faster with a website 3. Communication: Updates are shared on the blog page of your website in the form of news, events, and updates about your organization. 4. Donations: It's more professional to use a website than a GoFundMe. You can include a donation button or link to a donation page on your website. 5. Recruitment: A website can help you recruit volunteers, members, and employees. You can include information about job openings and volunteer opportunities. If you don't have a website yet, now is the time to create one! A website can help your organization grow and achieve its goals. If you need help creating a website, I am just a click away. https://lnkd.in/d3gNwiTV https://lnkd.in/dMKdKjUg #queer #lgbt #lgbtwebsite #lgbtq #lgbtq+, #wordpress #wordpresswebsite #wordpressdesign #lgbtwebdesign #LGBT #organization #website #webdevelopment #Upwork #webdeveloper #growthhackers #diversityandinclusion #belonging #sustainability #carbonneutral #remote work #WordPress #portfolio #services #testimonial #contactus #blog #donation #recruitment #CEO #COO #founders

Happy Pride Month! How can you support LGBTQIA+ individuals in your workplace? 🏳️🌈 Listen. If a concern is raised or they open up about actions that make them uncomfortable, don't write it off. Listen, digest, and look at how you can contribute to a more inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone. 🏳️🌈Put it in stone. Do your policies reflect the rainbow flag you added to your company's logo this month? If not, it's a good idea to give your handbook and policies a touch up. 🏳️🌈Implement inclusive technology. I once had to put up months of fighting with an #hris to ensure that my employee's dead name would not be visible to the entire company. Companies are putting efforts towards allowing Preferred First Names but not last names, which can possibly be equally triggering for certain members of the community. How can you ensure inclusive technology aligns with your inclusive policies and beliefs? 🏳️🌈As Ice Cube suggests, check yo self. Reflect on your own interactions and natural biases (this is good for biases harmful against members of the LGBTQIA+ community but also people of color and women or other marginalized groups such as those with disabilities). Do you have biases and, if so, do they manipulate decisions that may not allow someone to be hired, to move up, to feel included or valued, etc.? Then hold yourself and others accountable. 🏳️🌈Advocate. "Hear something, say something" sounds tired, but it is a pillar for change. Stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves or for those are speak but are not heard. Combat prejudice, celebrate differences openly and loudly, and promote education. 🏳️🌈Help the community. Look into organizations such as Safe Austin or The Trevor Project to spread awareness, donate to good causes, learn, and give resources to those who may be in need. Remember that you don't have to be part of the community, but you can allow others to have basic freedoms and spaces to contribute to a thriving society without fear ❤️ Learn more about Pride Month's history here: https://lnkd.in/gp-7s6eY #pride #pridemonth #inclusivity #allyship #people #LGBTQ #DEI #humanresources

We recently partnered with Switchboard - National LGBTQ+ Support Line to to develop a user-friendly website to drive their unwavering commitment to the LGBTQIA+ community. Switchboard moved from a monolithic CMS to headless (Sanity), gaining numerous benefits in the process. 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. - It's inevitable that the website needs of Switchboard service users will change over time and now they have a platform which can be hooked into easily using the API-first approach. 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭-𝐨𝐟-𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬. - If the team want to move to a new marketing automation service, or integrate a new donation platform, this will be much easier than it would be in a monolithic CMS. 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝. - Most importantly, service users can get the information they need very quickly. Headless has enabled the GRM development team to use super-slick front end frameworks built for speed. #webdevelopment #headless #composable
