🩷 Observing the International Day of Pink: A Commitment to Inclusion and Diversity Today, we celebrate the International Day of Pink, a global initiative to raise awareness and combat all forms of bullying, including and with a special focus on homophobia and transphobia. This day highlights our collective commitment to fostering an environment of inclusivity and respect, both in and out of the workplace. The origin of the International Day of Pink is as compelling as its mission, starting with a youth-led action and growing into a global movement. It reminds us that simple acts of solidarity, like wearing pink, can spark significant change towards a more accepting and diverse society. As professionals, we understand the immense value that diversity and inclusion bring to our organizations. Today, let us reflect on how we can further embody these principles, supporting a culture where every individual feels respected, valued, and empowered to be themselves. #InternationalDayOfPink #DiversityAndInclusion

Jun 1, 2024: Happy Pride Month. Let's celebrate inclusivity by making a small change with a big impact: using people's pronouns correctly. It matters. Here are 3 simple ways to be respectful daily. 🌈1. See it, use it! Many people include their pronouns on LinkedIn, email signatures, or Slack profiles. Pay attention and incorporate them naturally in your interactions. 🌈2. Someone shares their pronouns? That's a gift. Acknowledge it and use them consistently. It shows you value their identity. 🌈3. Oops, slipped up? We all make mistakes. A simple "Thanks for correcting me, I'll use they/them (or their preferred pronouns) going forward" keeps things positive and ensures you learn from it. Respecting pronouns is caring for your colleagues and connections. Let's build a more inclusive workplace where everyone feels seen and valued. #PrideMonth #PronounsMatter #Diversity cc: Garden State Equality Pride Center Of New Jersey Stonewall Community Foundation The Trevor Project

Happy Pride Month! It’s a time for us to celebrate the contributions and joy of our LGBTQIA+ colleagues and community. At Challenger, we like to lead with our values, and we believe in creating a culture that is open and safe for everyone. We’re debuting a special version of our logo and an updated LinkedIn banner, plus an email signature for our employees to use throughout the month. Symbols like these matter. But what matters more is going beyond artwork to listen, reflect, and take action. That’s why we’ll also be sharing stories from our Challenger community, reflecting on what Pride means to them, on our website throughout this month and at events in our offices, like our trip to the Chicago Cubs’ Pride Night on June 17. Society today is deeply polarized, and many members of the queer community feel less safe than they did a few years ago, as they face harassment, rhetoric, and increasingly, legislation that limits their rights and access to health care and support. Some companies engage in rainbow-washing or choose not to acknowledge Pride because they’re afraid of criticism, boycotts, and in some extreme cases, violence. I understand that fear, but giving into it doesn’t lead to anything positive. We don’t always get it right, but we’re willing to listen and learn. It’s important to embrace vulnerability as leaders, welcome authenticity, and focus on listening and building spaces where people feel comfortable and can bring their whole selves to work. That’s the culture we want to foster here, and one that allows our LGBTQIA+ colleagues to feel like they belong not just in June, but every day. Tell me how you honor Pride at your organization in the comments!
