Great article in FT Agenda promoting the Association of LGBTQ+ Directors and the need to improve LGBTQ+ Executives representation in the Boardroom. Diverse teams are known to be more productive and the representation of diverse communities in the Boardroom still needs further improvement. Just as DE&I programs inside firms promote the recruitment of diverse candidates to ensure improved representation across teams, Boards need to adopt similar principles and consider how best to select qualified LGBTQ+ and other diverse candidates. Fabrice C Houdart thank you for your leadership here. #LGBTQ+CorporateDirectors #boardofdirectors #diversityandinclusion #boardgovernance #boardrecruitment

Public policy has the power to help close inequitable gaps in healthcare access and outcomes in our increasingly diverse world. That is one of the many reasons why representation matters at every level of government. We are proud to support the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute’s efforts to invest in the next generation of public leaders. Since 2021, the number of LGBTQ+ candidates on the ballot has increased by nearly 32%, and employees across our company are working to continue driving this progress. Below, hear more from Brian Maloney and Tammy Bima, Genentech employees and Victory Institute volunteers, about the importance of this work, and learn more about the organization’s impact here: https://lnkd.in/ehHGZ3xf

🌈 Celebrating Diversity in the Workplace 🌟 In today's ever-evolving business landscape, diversity and inclusion are not just buzzwords – they're essential components of success. As a commercial professional, I've witnessed firsthand the incredible impact that a company's commitment to recognizing and giving visibility to the LGBT community can have on its culture, productivity, and bottom line. From my personal experience S&P Global understands that embracing diversity isn't just the right thing to do – it's the smart thing to do. By fostering an environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work, we unleash the full potential of our team and drive innovation like never before. When employees feel supported and included, they are more engaged, motivated, and loyal. By championing diversity in all its forms, we attract top talent from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, enriching our company culture and fueling our competitive advantage. The commitment to diversity goes beyond mere rhetoric – it's ingrained in everything we do. From the inclusive hiring practices to employee resource groups and allyship initiatives, S&P Global is dedicated to creating a workplace where everyone can thrive, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. As we celebrate Pride Month, let's not just pay lip service to diversity and inclusion – let's take tangible action to build a more equitable and inclusive world for all. Together, we can create workplaces where everyone belongs and where diversity is not just accepted, but celebrated. Join us in making a difference – because when we embrace diversity, we all win. 🏳️🌈 #PrideAtWork #DiversityAndInclusion #InclusiveCulture #PrideMonth #spglobal #spdji #spmexico

As a Relationship Manager at Workplace Pride, Robert Corvers takes great pride in the work he does for our members and his community. Recently, Robert had the privilege to share his personal story and expertise on LGBTIQ+ inclusion in the workplace during a panel discussion at Squire Patton Boggs. 📽 You can view the video below. This opportunity was not just important; it was necessary. Globally, we are witnessing the resurgence of anti-gay laws in countries like Ghana, Russia, and even the US. Unfortunately, this often translates into increased discrimination and microaggressions against the LGBTIQ+ community. It is crucial for employers to not only acknowledge this issue but also take action. Prioritising inclusion aligns seamlessly with business objectives. It fosters a win-win situation – not only do satisfied employees result, but it also contributes to higher profits in the long run. #WorkplacePride #LGBTHistoryMonth  #InclusiveWorkplace  #LGBTIQ

Really appreciate the thoughtful and subtle LGBTQ+ representation in these images. Spot the lanyard, watch-strap, hairstyles, clothing.. all cues and "cultural shorthand" to signal LGBTQ+ identities and allies. This image case study was created by a team at the Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard (MRCT Center) to support inclusive image creation in clinical trial materials. More on this and their other awesome resources "LGBTQIA+ Inclusion by Design in Clinical Research Toolkit" >>> https://lnkd.in/gRwAM4eq #clinicaltrials #equity #representationmatters
