Figures from Stonewall highlight the ongoing challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community in the workplace, reinforcing the need for genuine, year-round commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) initiatives. Public support from organisations is crucial for visibility and change, but it must transcend marketing and PR. It’s more important than ever that your business is taking proactive steps to not only actively support but attract LGBTQ+ talent. Do you know how you can make a difference?

I collaborated with Qrata to highlight the role of workplace policies to promote psychological safety in the work environment for LGBTQ+ employees. Pride is political, Pride is about policies and reforms. #humanresources #dei #pride #organizationalsafety #inclusivity #workplaceequality #workplaceculture #equality

In today's evolving workplace, company policies play a critical role in ensuring an inclusive and supportive environment for all employees, including those who need it the most: the LGBTQ+ community. "I think policies are essential anti-discrimination safeguards and act as necessary checks on the organizational environment. They also go to great lengths in making LGBTQ+ employees feel safe within the organizational climate." — Aritra Chatterjee, clinical psychologist and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community Here are some companies that have created policies that should be replicated to create a more inclusive office for LGBTQ+ individuals.

Full transparency - I'm a bit of an Alasdair James Scott (He/Him or They/Them) super fan. There is so much rich content in this podcast - it's 42 minutes long (or 7810 steps if you listen whilst doing a lunchtime walk) - the only downside of listening while walking is I wanted to stop and take notes at several points. He talks through six key areas of focus to authentically support LGBTQ+ inclusion and is well worth a listen! Click on the link in the below post to listen. #dei #inclusion #gpstrategies

As Pride Month continues, we reflected on a few of the actions that allies can take to create an environment where every LGBTQ+ employee feels respected and valued, inside and outside of work. * Stay Engaged: Read reputable sources like GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign, and other advocacy organizations that allow you to regularly update your knowledge and stay informed about evolving language and social contexts. * Create Your Environment: Advocate for inclusive policies such as gender-neutral facilities and non-discrimination clauses. Further, promote LGBTQ+ role models and events within organizations, to celebrate diversity and inspire others to embrace inclusive practices. * Build Meaningful Connections: Build relationships by creating a space where individuals feel comfortable sharing their experiences without fear of judgment. Further, show up at their events. This demonstrates solidarity and reinforces commitment to standing with their community. * Advocacy and Personal Growth: The role of allies can extend beyond personal and professional interactions. For example, it is important to stay informed about legislative changes and actively support pro-LGBTQ+ initiatives. While these actions may be simple, they all contribute to creating a world where diversity is celebrated and everyone can live authentically.

New research from the Human Rights Campaign shows that over 75.7% of LGBTQ+ adults would view companies less favourably if they step back from their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, with 80.1% even considering a boycott. The data highlights the economic impact of the LGBTQ+ community, with a spending power of $1.4 trillion, on businesses that fail to support DEI initiatives. Companies that remain committed to inclusion are more likely to retain customers and employees.

Earlier this year, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation released a groundbreaking report detailing steps for businesses to go beyond workplace inclusion and become true allies in action. It's not just about policies; it's about actively supporting and uplifting LGBTQ+ communities. Let's turn words into actions and make a meaningful impact together. #HBAimpact #pridemonth #genderequality #healthcare https://ow.ly/YVmH50S0jRz
