Another PRIDE 🏳️🌈 month comes to an end... What are five ways we can continue to celebrate and foster the principles of PRIDE in our professional community all year long? 🔴 Inclusive Networking: Actively connect with and support LGBTQ+ professionals by endorsing their skills, recommending them, and engaging with their content to foster an inclusive and diverse professional community. 🟠 Advocacy and Allyship: Share and promote resources, articles, and stories that highlight LGBTQ+ issues, successes, and challenges, demonstrating ongoing support and awareness. 🟡 Diverse Hiring Practices: Use recruiting tools to seek out and hire a diverse workforce, ensuring that job postings and company culture reflect a commitment to diversity and inclusion. 🟢 Professional Development: Encourage participation in courses (e.g., on LinkedIn Learning) focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion to build a more understanding and supportive professional environment. 🔵 Visibility and Representation: Highlight LGBTQ+ voices and leaders within the industry by sharing their content, celebrating their achievements, and inviting them to participate in discussions and webinars, ensuring continuous representation and visibility. #Pride #LGBTQ+ #InclusionMatters #PrideAllYear #InclusiveLeadership #EduLeaders #LXD #InstructionalDesign #EquityInWorkplace #ProfessionalPride #YearRoundPride

No matter the closet, open the door! The worst advice Nathan Y Andres ever received was to take a 'don't ask don't tell' approach at work when it came to his sexuality and being open in the workplace. Now a coach, workplace well-being and LGBTQ activist, business leader and author with two decades of experience in the HR space, he is sharing his research-backed principles, REAL, with others to help them learn to cope with change and adversity and build resilience and authenticity. He shares with Salt how to do the work, be clear on your values and who you are as a result, and how to inform your own life, mission and purpose with these principles! "My, what I call “No Matter The Closet Open The Door Principle” really applies to everyone. Everyone has a closet; it might be a gender closet, it might be a sexual orientation closet, it might be a disability closet, it could be a variety of adversity closets."

Promoting LGBTQ+ Inclusion in the Tech Sector Tech firms are promoting LGBTQIA+ inclusion by implementing diverse hiring practices and fostering diversity in leadership. Allyship, bias training, and addressing stereotypes are crucial steps toward improved representation. Continual efforts are necessary to cultivate a genuinely inclusive industry where all staff feel respected and appreciated. . . . #LGBTQ #Technology #update #inclusion #news #employee #business #employeenews #currentaffair #HR #LGBTQHiring

Have you ever wondered if DEI is for you?  According to the newest research, it certainly should! Companies with strong DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) initiatives experience overall higher employee satisfaction and productivity. 🚀 By investing in DEI, organizations not only embrace diversity but also cultivate an environment where every voice is heard and valued. Don't miss this opportunity to empower your team and promote a more inclusive future. For me, the hardest part is finding useful knowledge on the matter. But that's when Magda Stega comes on stage 😉 If you're interested in elevating your company culture to the next level, her workshops are here for you! You'll find more details here: DEI Workshop with a focus on Safety, Empathy and Trust: https://lnkd.in/dviUiq8M AMA Session - How to be a supportive LGBTQ+ Ally: https://lnkd.in/dP8qMhrP Have a nice week! ❄ #DEI #inclusion #diversity #DEIworkshops #DEIknowledge

Diversity announcement 📣 A recent LinkedIn poll by myGwork exposed that 61% of employees say their companies lack LGBTQ+ training. 6 out of 10 LGBTQ+ professionals face bias at work. As a result, many either go back into the closet or leave their jobs. Shockingly, two-thirds of LGBTQ+ Gen Zers would quit if they couldn't be out at work. This is the inspiration behind myGwork Academy. The modules, developed by DE&I specialists, are seamlessly integrated into learning management systems. The road to allyship has never been easier. Let’s make our workplaces more inclusive for everyone. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/41ZfoRX #lgbtqia #training #allyship

🌈 As Pride Month kicks off, you may notice a surge in rainbow-coloured logos and Pride-themed content. But does their support for the queer community go beyond the posts? 🏳️🌈 Rainbow washing, or Pride washing, refers to companies superficially adopting Pride symbols to profit from the Queer community without enacting real inclusive practices. 📈 Pride Month has become an economic tool for businesses, with many leveraging the visibility to boost their brand image and sales. However, true support for LGBTQ+ rights goes beyond marketing—it's about having diverse hiring practices, supportive policies, and an inclusive culture year-round. 💡 Did you know? Inclusive companies are not only ethical but also economically smarter. A diverse workforce can drive innovation, improve employee satisfaction, and lead to better financial performance (McKinsey, 2020). 💬 Know any organizations truly committed to LGBTQ+ inclusion?

Let's celebrate and support businesses that make a real difference. 🌟 * If you're looking for cutting edge, highly engaging, future focused program and product for your DEI or PoSH compliance requirements, drop us a line at hello@trustin.co.in!

It is Pride Month, and I am thankful to work at a company where we keep the conversation going not only in June but all year long. 🏳️🌈 In 2024, Showpad's Pride ERG will host a special session for our book club, Pride & Prose. 📚 This time, we're diving into James Baldwin's masterpiece, 𝘎𝘪𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪'𝘴 𝘙𝘰𝘰𝘮. It was the most voted book from an internal poll of our Employee Resource Group. This will be the second meeting of our book club, and we will combine it with our monthly activity, 🌈 Rainbow Brews & Chats, a safe and inclusive space where we discuss LGBTQ+-related topics based on short videos. It is a place to ask questions, learn, and gather the tools to become better advocates, fostering a sense of belonging and support. If your company doesn’t host LGBTQ+ initiatives, be the one who changes it. And yes, I am looking especially at you, fellow Executive Assistants. DEIB is not just a buzzword. It is about giving voice to those who don’t always get the chance to speak—a lot like us, but unfortunately, in many ways, even harder. By leveraging our EQ, ability to connect people, and interpersonal skills, we can drive meaningful change within our organizations. Let’s use our unique positions to foster inclusivity and support for all. Remember: together, we are stronger. 💪🏼 #DEIB #DiversityEquityInclusionBelonging #Showpad #ExecutiveAssistants #ERG #EmployeeResourceGroup
