This Pride Month, Zenni embraced diversity with open arms! From our Ohio team making a vibrant appearance in the Pride Parade in Columbus to distributing exclusive Pride swag across our teams, we celebrated in style. We also enjoyed an engaging virtual Pride event by Unexpected Virtual Tours and Training, featuring live streams from New York and San Francisco that highlighted rich LGBTQ+ history and culture. In June and beyond, we're proud to support our LGBTQ+ colleagues, customers, and communities, always striving for an inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive. #zennioptical #eyewear #pride2024

In #publicsafety , everyone is #family You spend more holidays with your co-workers than you do with your own family. Of course, you have that weird aunt or grumpy uncle but at the end of the day - regardless of race, gender, religious beliefs, sexuality, etc. Everyone loves eachother and supports eachother through those difficult calls. Coming over to the private sector, I didn’t know what to expect. #Thankful to have joined a company that welcomes #diversity and supports all employees. Verint has created a culture that embraces #inclusion while providing #opportunities and #support for everyone. #equality #employeeresourcegroup #ERG #diversity #verint #publicsector #publicsafety #community #bestplacestowork #culture #proud #together #verinteer #technology #techjobs #womenintech
Leadership means embracing inclusion year-round, not just during Pride Month. It's about creating a culture that recognizes and appreciates the diversity of our workforce throughout the year. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our newest Employee Resource Group – LGBTQ+. This group is committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming, and safe environment for all our LGBTQ+ Verinteers, helping them to grow and thrive. Join us this month and beyond as the LGBTQ+ ERG hosts engaging programs and events, shares valuable education, and drives impactful change. Together, we're building a more diverse, innovative, and better Verint. Happy #PrideMonth!

As advocates for corporate social responsibility with a diverse team, we strive for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion because they're essential values. However, effectively communicating these values can be challenging for companies particularly during LGBTQ+ Pride Month when companies unveil rainbow-themed products and rebranding efforts. The phenomenon of "rainbow washing" has led to skepticism towards brands that seem to capitalize on the LGBTQ+ community, often resulting in fumbled Pride messaging or misaligned values. To ensure authenticity and alignment, our team uses 4 strategies to avoid rainbow washing, not only during Pride Month but every month: https://loom.ly/RaZ7KC4

Inclusive Brand Identity & Web Designer | Impacting LGBTQ+ Businesses, Nonprofits, & Entrepreneurs | Certified Nonprofit Hero 🌈
Most brands only show up for Pride Month. Did you know that true commitment means being inclusive all year? Brands like Levi’s lead the way in year-round LGBTQ+ support. Commitment Beyond Pride It's about integrating LGBTQ+ inclusive elements into your brand daily, not just in June. Levi’s is a shining example. They support LGBTQ+ causes throughout the year, not just during Pride Month. Here are a few specific ways brands can show year-round commitment: 1. Inclusive Policies: Ensure your company policies protect and support LGBTQ+ employees and customers at all times. 2. Ongoing Education: Provide regular training on LGBTQ+ issues for all employees. 3. Year-Round Campaigns: Run campaigns that highlight LGBTQ+ stories and voices beyond Pride Month. 4. Community Engagement: Partner with LGBTQ+ organizations for events and initiatives throughout the year. True commitment means more than rainbow logos in June. It's about lasting change.

It’s the last day of Pride but that doesn’t mean your support has a sell-by date. We already have the data to show EO businesses are more inclusive and welcoming workplaces. But there’s always more to do and EOBs are uniquely placed to lead by example. For Pride Month, we spoke to members about EDI and welcoming queer employees. And we showcased the difference EO businesses are making when it comes to inclusion. Whether you missed them the first time around, or you want to share with your network, you can find both links below: How Britain’s First LGBTQ+ Certified Business Used EO to Better Embed EDI ➡️https://lnkd.in/erQzAB7h How Employee Ownership Enables LGBTQIA+ People to Thrive ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eyK27Eip So, how will you be supporting LGBTQIA+ people all year round? #PrideMonth #Pride #EDI #Equality #Diversity

Recognition matters because representation matters! Full disclosure: I worked on this program for nearly two years. I understand its integrity and know from experience that winners often go on to do even more amazing things (I.e., inclusive leaders pay it forward!). Out & Equal’s Outie Awards recognize inclusive leaders and strategic initiatives that are making positive changes in their workplaces (and beyond!) for LGBTQIA+ talent, and others! There are so many champions out there doing great work! Often quietly and without much support. Apply and help recognize these champions, while amplifying their efforts as role models for others to follow! #recognitionmatters #representationmatters #inclusiveleadership
Act now and submit an Outie Award nomination for an individual, organizational initiative, and/or ERG whose work is advancing LGBTQ+ workplace equity, inclusion, and belonging in measurable ways! The Outie Awards will be presented to winners at the annual Out & Equal Workplace Summit, elevating the award-winners’ profile as an LGBTQ+ inclusion champion and providing employer of choice visibility for winning organizations. Submit a nomination by July 10 here: https://lnkd.in/erDUj5Y #OESummit24 #BusinessOfBelonging

🏳️🌈 Embracing Diversity and Inclusion: Why Pride Month Matters 🌈 As we enter Pride Month, it's important to reflect on the significance of celebrating diversity and fostering a culture of inclusivity. Pride Month is not just about colorful celebrations; it is a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for equality, acceptance, and human rights for the LGBTQ+ community. Embracing Pride Month is a testament to our commitment to creating safe and welcoming spaces for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. It is a time to amplify the voices of the LGBTQ+ community, recognize their contributions, and stand in solidarity with their struggles and triumphs. By celebrating Pride Month, we send a powerful message of support and acceptance to our colleagues, friends, and family members who identify as LGBTQ+. It is a time to educate ourselves, challenge stereotypes, and advocate for a more inclusive society where everyone can live authentically and without fear of discrimination. Let's use this month as an opportunity to spark meaningful conversations, promote understanding, and work towards a future where love, respect, and acceptance are the norm. Happy Pride Month to all! 🏳️🌈 #PrideMonth #DiversityAndInclusion #Equality #LoveIsLove
