Pride Month special: Creating an inclusive workplace for the LGBTQ+ community isn't just about celebrating Pride in June. It's about making a year-round commitment. Here are five actionable steps your organization can take to become truly inclusive. 1. Stop celebrating Pride only in June. Celebrate it 365 days a year. 2. Implement a zero-tolerance policy for any kind of discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals. 3. Make healthcare accessible, affordable, and easy to use for all employees, addressing health disparities specific to LGBTQ+ individuals. 4. Invest in meaningful education for all your employees. 5. Participate in events such as Pride Parade and festivals. Hope you found these tips useful. Please share with someone who might benefit from them. Let's make inclusion a daily practice! 🌈 Connect with us to collaborate on furthering your intent to building inclusive workplace. Thank you.

Can trust and safety be built in an hour. Probably not! As we enter the latter part of #PrideMonth, a common pitfall emerges: "Expecting #LGBTQ+ employees to come out of the closet after a short workshop." Creating an inclusive culture requires ongoing effort and genuine commitment. Watch this video as we explore reasons why LGBTQ+ members may choose to stay in the closet even after few interventions. #ReLink #TowardsInclusion #LGBTQplus #Pride2024 #LGBTQSensitisation #Workshop #ComingOut

In the final quarter of 2023, Mike Skeggs and I soft-launched The Collaborative Network CIC. As we gear up for our official launch in April, we wanted to share some information about our services. We are a subscription-based community support network and sign-posting service that connects businesses, business leaders and employees together with other professional services to allow an LGBTQ+ focused approach regarding LGBTQ+ matters which arise in the workplace. Our mission is to create a community movement that fosters inclusivity and diversity in the workplace. We provide resources and support to businesses and organisations to help them create an environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Furthermore, we provide support and resources for those in the wider community who may feel like they are not valued, respected or appreciated in their day-to-day life. Our team are here to connect a community to offer support and acceptance. Having a strategy that supports safety and wellbeing is crucial for businesses with LGBTQ+ employees and clients.

Have you ever heard of "rainbow washing"? Rainbow washing is when brands and organizations make a show of discussing LGBTQ+-related topics, usually only during Pride Month, and without making meaningful change in their workplaces to actually support the LGBTQ+ community. It's performative, not real allyship. So how can we make sure we aren't rainbow washing our workplaces? First, we should focus LGBTQ+ issues all year long, not just during Pride Month. Second, we must keep in mind that the LGBTQ+ community is very diverse, which means the types of issues and types of support they might require are also diverse. Finally, and most importantly, we must get feedback from members of the LGBTQ+ community in our workplaces on what support they are lacking, and then make actual change. This includes changes to recruiting and hiring, as well as the actual work environment. And we must get continual feedback from them to make sure that they are included in our workplaces.

#Pridemonth is a monumental time of the year. It is a time to remember the remarkable equal rights journey the LGBTQ+ community has fought for decades. And it is a month where I personally take some time to reflect on how far we’ve come as a country. Pride Month also serves as a reminder of the importance of respect and inclusivity in all aspects of our lives. For Corporations world-wide , it’s also a reminder that we need to hit the accelerator on making workplaces welcoming for all, year-round. #StaffWorQs, we firmly believe that businesses play a pivotal role in driving positive societal change and we will be a catalyst to drive such a change as we continue to create diverse and inclusive workplaces and foster innovation. generating tangible benefits for individuals #PrideMonth #PrideCelebration

Although there is always an opportunity to be reminded of the diversity we are surrounded by, Pride Month is a time to pay special attention to the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community and highlight the importance of fostering an inclusive environment in the workplace.   I've been pleased to hear testimonials from colleagues at Teva Pharmaceuticals, sharing that they feel they can be themselves and are supported by their peers. It was brave of them to step up and publicly talk about their experience with other employees. Unfortunately, we know this isn’t always possible everywhere. In order to build a more supportive environment, we can start by challenging our own biases and considering different perspectives. These tips for building meaningful connections with co-workers are especially useful when it comes to understanding diversity.   When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation with someone who was different to you, and tried to understand their perspective?   #PrideMonth #Allyship #Tevapharm #DEI #Diversityandinclusion
