True transformation requires us to listen to everyone, design inclusively, and ensure that every voice is valued. Only then can we create solutions that are genuinely transformative and equitable.

Amen! When team members can bring their individual differences to work, the team is more capable of meeting stakeholder, org/company or, in the case of development teams, donor needs with rigorous logic, deep empathy and high authenticity. Inclusive teams produce consistently better outcomes in the short and long term. If you want a competitive edge, build diverse, inclusive teams with intention. It won't be easy but the pay off is worth it.

I once worked for an organization that initiated 'People Month'. As a young HR leader, I railed against 'just one month' being focused on people. What I learned however, is that that one month provided an opportunity to elevate the conversation about people, people strategy, value and recognition and proved a great catalyst for positive momentum. Like 'people month', Pride month brings a focus but genuine commitment to inclusion is ongoing. Here are some good tips to help employers maintain that momentum to provide a place where people feel that they belong and can bring their best selves to work.

Today, on International Coming Out Day, we recognise that for many in the LGBTQ+ community, coming out isn’t a one-time event. It’s something that happens in countless moments – introducing ourselves in new spaces, building relationships with colleagues, or simply correcting assumptions. Coming out is a continuous process of being seen and understood. It requires courage each and every day. As we celebrate today, let’s also reflect on how we can create environments – both at work and in life – where coming out doesn’t feel like a risk, but an affirmation. #InternationalComingOutDay #LGBTQ #DiversityAndInclusion #EveryDayComingOut #SafeSpaces

🌈 Celebrating Pride Month: Embracing Inclusion for All🌈 As we celebrate Pride Month, it's essential to remember that inclusion isn't just a concept we acknowledge once a year; it's a practice we must embrace every day. Inclusion means creating environments where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, race, or background, feels valued and respected. It means recognizing the unique perspectives each individual brings and understanding that diversity strengthens our communities and workplaces. Let's commit to: - Listening to and amplifying LGBTQ+ voices. - Educating ourselves and others about the challenges faced by marginalized communities. - Supporting policies and practices that promote equality and inclusion. - Standing up against discrimination and prejudice in all forms. Together, we can build a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and included. Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈 #PrideMonth #Inclusion #Diversity #Equality #LGBTQ #TogetherWeRise
