Reflecting on LGBTQI+ representation in the workforce during Pride Month is crucial. While annual Pride parties are a positive step, they alone are not enough to create meaningful change. Employers should focus on concrete actions like implementing inclusive policies, fostering a safe workplace culture, offering diversity training, and actively recruiting LGBTQI+ individuals. These steps support diversity and create a more inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Let's move beyond symbolic gestures to make real strides towards equality and acceptance in the workplace. #pridemonth #InItTogether

As we enter LGBTQIA+ History Month, it's essential for businesses to show their support and create an inclusive environment for everyone. This month is an opportunity for us to honour and celebrate the significant contributions made by the LGBTQIA+ community throughout history. Here are a few ways your business can mark this important occasion: Encourage the formation of LGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) within your organization. ERGs provide a safe space for employees to connect, share experiences and support one another. These groups can also help implement initiatives that promote inclusivity and equality in the workplace. Offer allyship training to employees, teaching them how to be effective allies to the LGBTQIA+ community. This training can create a supportive environment where everyone feels respected and valued. Review your company policies and ensure they are LGBTQIA+ inclusive. This includes non-discrimination policies, gender-neutral restrooms and using inclusive language in internal and external communications. Remember, LGBTQIA+ History Month is not just about celebration; it's also about recognizing the ongoing challenges faced by the community. By taking active steps to create an inclusive and supportive environment, businesses can foster diversity, equality and respect for all individuals. Let's make this LGBTQIA+ History Month a time of reflection, learning and celebration together! #inclusionmatters

Why are we still in a world where Body Art is still sometimes seen as a negative reflection of someone's professionalism? 🤔 National Inclusion Week gives organisations the opportunity to celebrate inclusion and place focus on their inclusion and diversity agendas, so this year we're talking to some of our colleagues about their own body art and modifications. From the stories behind their choices to the prejudice sometimes felt or experienced, our goal is to continue to ensure that our colleagues can come to work being their authentic selves.
