I am honoured to be featured as an Executive Role Model within @INvolvepeople’s 2023 Outstanding Role Model Lists supported by @YouTube! These global lists celebrate Role Models in business who are driving inclusion for LGBTQ+ employees across global organizations. Let’s all work together to shift the needle towards inclusion within our organizations and create workplaces where everyone can succeed. You can view the full lists here: https://bit.ly/3Fuijr6 #OUTRoleModels23

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

Respecting pronouns is a way to honor someone's identity, support employees, and create a workplace that celebrates diversity. On #PronounsDay, we're reminded of the impact small changes can have on LGBTQ+ employees. Learn more about using pronouns at work and fostering inclusivity in the workplace: https://shrm.co/5of0c6

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

Pride month is winding down, but, as we’ve highlighted this month, so many amazing organizations and people support the LGBTQ+ community all year long. Out & Equal is celebrating these folks with their Outie Awards. If you know of a person or group who “is advancing LGBTQ+ workplace equity, inclusion, and belonging in measurable ways,” consider nominating them for an Outie! #pride #dei #belonging #humanresourcesmanagement https://lnkd.in/gskbgTre

We all have a diversity story to tell, and that’s why at Sonepar, we believe in creating a work environment where everyone can feel safe, use their voice, and know that they belong. For many countries around the world, June marks the beginning of Pride month, which is both a celebration and a time to raise awareness to improve the visibility, acceptance, and legal protections for the LGBTQ+ community. 🌈 “We celebrate our differences, recognizing their role in driving innovation and excellence. Central to this ethos is our unwavering support for our LGBTQ+ colleagues. Through allyship and inclusive practices, we reject all forms of discrimination and remain committed to a fair, equitable, and respectful workplace for all associates. Together, we empower each team member to bring their authentic selves to work, driving positive change and ensuring Sonepar remains a place where every individual can flourish,” Philippe Delpech, Sonepar President.
