As we reflect on LGBT History Month, it's important to commit to the continuation of inclusivity policies year round. LGBT History Month is a great opportunity for reflection and shared learning and understanding. But truly inclusive workplaces require more than symbolic gestures. Going forward, organisations should be focusing on developing and enforcing policies that ensure zero tolerance for discrimination. 🚫 How are you continuing your support into March and beyond? #InclusiveWorkplaces #DiversityAndInclusion #LGBTHistoryMonth

🌈 This #PrideMonth, let's celebrate diversity and strive for a more inclusive world. Inclusivity isn't just about acceptance; it's about actively creating spaces where everyone can thrive. It's about listening to experiences that differ from our own, educating ourselves and others, and standing up against discrimination in all its forms. Together, we can foster an environment where everyone is free to be their authentic selves. Let's turn our support into action—not just this month, but year-round. #IAmIntel #Pride2023 #InclusionMatters #DiversityAndInclusion #BeAnAlly #EqualityForAll

As Pride Month begins, let’s discuss how businesses can genuinely support LGBT rights through inclusive policies and practices. What steps is your company taking? #PrideMonth #InclusivityInBusiness 🌈🏳️🌈

Happy LGBTQ+ History Month! 🏳️🌈 In this reflective article, Rosie Hazeldine takes us back to a time before 2003 when Section 28 was still in effect. She reminds us that a significant portion of today's workforce was educated under this legislation. Whether we were aware of it or not, this impacted what we were taught, what attitudes and behaviours were left unchallenged, and how we are doing now, long after Section 28 has been consigned to history. Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988 was introduced by Margeret Thatcher’s government. It stated that local authorities, and by extension schools, “should not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish materials to promote homosexuality”. In the spirit of promoting inclusivity, Rosie, who praises settle for their #EDI efforts, shares some best practices: 🗣 Don't assume someone's gender or sexuality. 🌈 Embrace gender-neutral language, especially in policies. 👩🏽🎤 Ditch formal dress codes for a more comfortable environment. 🧰 Add pronouns to your email signature to respect diverse gender identities. 🎊 Celebrate LGBTQ+ milestones #LGBTQHistoryMonth #DiversityandInclusion #section28 #housingassociations https://lnkd.in/e7rEvrS3
