Are you 𝗧𝗛𝗘 leader of a business, or a leader inside a business? Are you wondering what you can do to show your LGBTQIA+ employees support during this very important month? Here’s how you can make a real difference:: 1. 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗟𝗚𝗕𝗧𝗤𝗜𝗔+ 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆: Partner with LGBTQIA+ organizations and attend diversity-focused job fairs. Ensure your hiring practices reflect and celebrate diversity. This is not difficult. 2. 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲𝘀. Wish them a happy Pride through sincere, one-on-one conversations. Ditch the basic tropes. Newsletters? Not enough. Emails? Lazy. Show real support. 3. 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻. Obviously, implement strong non-discrimination policies, inclusive benefits, and diversity trai𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 . Do better by making every month Pride Month, or Black History Month. 𝗦𝗘𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘. 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. They have families. Lives. If you don't create a sense of beloning for all, you'll lose them. Your business will suffer. 4. 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗚𝗕𝗧𝗤𝗜𝗔+ 𝗘𝗥𝗚𝘀. Support and resource LGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Groups. These groups are vital for fostering connection and advocating for positive change. It's easy to make this a 'tick the box' exercise. If you really want it to matter, 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗨𝗣. Go to the meetings (CEO, C-anything) and walk the walk. As a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I challenge you to step up. 🌈 Support LGBTQIA+ Employees Year-Round: Take Action Now! 🌈 #PrideMonth #LGBTQIA #Inclusion #Diversity #Leadership

👑Hey, Kings and Queens👑 Here's today's assignment✏️: Don’t Be So Certain! As we continue observing National Diversity Awareness Month, let's discover what makes us uniquely and wonderfully diverse. This month is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate our differences, recognizing that our collective tapestry of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives enriches our world. The organizers behind this month hope we can better understand each other by celebrating our differences and similarities. It's about fostering empathy, respect, and appreciation for the myriad of cultures, beliefs and identities that make up our global community. When discussing topics related to #diversity, it is important to avoid making hasty judgments or feeling too confident about our current knowledge because there is always more to learn. Instead, let's engage in conversations with an open-minded attitude and a desire to gain knowledge. Let's acknowledge the discomfort of questioning our assumptions and strive to broaden our understanding of diversity and inclusion through genuine curiosity and empathy. #TodaysAssignment✏️ #DontBeSoCertain🤔 #RootCauseRacism®️💚❤✊🏽✊🏻 #O2TN1👣

🌈 Celebrating Pride Month! One of my favourite times on LinkedIn 🌈 I love seeing what organisations are doing to recognise and support the LGBTQI+ community, to reflect on the progress we’ve made, and to recognize the work that still needs to be done. Diversity, equity and inclusion are not just buzzwords but essential ingredients for a thriving workplace. If you’re an ally like me and don’t know how to get involved, I would suggest starting with just x3 things: 1.     Take the time to learn stuff: Understanding the history and struggles of the LGBTQI+ community is crucial. Learn by googling or inviting your colleagues and friends to share. 2.     Support: Encourage open conversations and offer support. Even just say, happy Pride month! 3.     Celebrate: Whether its participating in Pride events, wearing a badge or lanyard, showcasing LGBTIQI+ stories or turning up to that morning tea – your visibility and action counts. And do it authentically. I love to see organisations celebrate love, diversity, and the diverse spectrum of human experience and may it continue beyond June always! 🏳️🌈❤️
