By encouraging allyship in your organization, you can increase inclusivity and equity for all employees. The actions, behaviors, and practices that leaders take to support and advocate with others, can be a powerful example. Thorough education about communities you’re interested in demonstrating allyship towards, empathizing with minority perspectives to understand the impact of systemic barriers and listening to the needs of underrepresented groups are all ongoing actions that demonstrate inclusive work environments. True allyship is available in every personal interaction and requires building genuine relationships to create a workplace of equity and fairness. #inclusion #diversity #inclusionmatters #equality #equity #community #accessibility #diversityandinclusion #awareness #pride #lgbtq #unity #representationmatters #lgbt #allyship #womenempowerment #humanrights #community #diversitymatters #leadership #blacklivesmatter #representationmatters #womenempowerment #humanrights

Happy PRIDE Month! At The Arts Quotient, we know that embracing inclusivity is not just about doing what's right; it's about fostering environments where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. Research tells us that there are specific things leaders can do to promote diversity, inclusion, and belongingness not just during PRIDE month, but every day of the year. Here are the top three that we found in our literature review. Are there other initiatives that work in bringing inclusion alive?

As diversity, equity, and inclusion become increasingly important, it's crucial to ensure that all voices are heard. This includes Trans people, who often face unique challenges and obstacles. In fact, it's impossible to consider yourself a DEI professional if you're not actively making room for Trans individuals in your conversations and decision-making processes. Even if you’re the lone voice standing up for them. Let's work together to create a more equitable and inclusive world for everyone. #DEI #TransRights #InclusionMatters #QuadCities #LGBTQ

As we wrap up Global #Diversity Awareness Month, it is important to note that we will be continuing to explore topics within the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging umbrella. At Inclusion at Work, we have not only explored why DEI&B initiatives are needed and necessary in the continuously global digital world but also why it is pertinent to keep a finger on the pulse of our growingly diverse workforce. DEIB isn’t only focusing on one marginalised identity at a time, but an examination of the intersections of the multifaceted-ness of being human. One doesn’t walk into work as a one dimensional being, but as an agent of multiple identities that offers a unique perspective driving innovation and progress. Stay tuned for more DEI&B news, updates, analysis and highlights as we journey through this together. #GlobalDiversityAwarenessMonth #DEI #DEIB #LGBTQ #Halloween

With all the updates happening across my LinkedIn feed I really wanted to reflect on LGBTIQA+ #Pride2024🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Something I have learnt from my LGBTIQA+ friends is that Pride at its heart is about viability and openness and, just as importantly, the resistance to shame. Sadly the later is normally a feeling that comes from inequality in the places we work and live, through people's behaviours, and through policies and laws. Since starting at South Staffordshire Plc just nine months ago, I have enjoyed working with the team to review our working practices and policies however, we still have a lot to do to achieve our EDI ambitions as a group and to be recognised as a true ally. We recently launched a new set of family focused policies to support a wide group of people across our businesses, and with the support of one of our senior team (who is an LGBTIQA+ adoptive parent), these included matching adoption leave, to our maternity leave. However, that's just the start! So whilst as a business we have publicly declared our support by changing our logos in the usual social media way, I am using my post today (and my monthly Blog internally) to make promises for the next 12 months, where we will: - Engage our LGBTQIA+ colleagues and launch a new network 🫂 - Review our policies to ensure equity for our LGBTIQA+ colleagues ⚖️ - Review our application processes to ensure it is engaging and accessible for all 👩💻👨💻 - Engage our ESG Committee to have a programme supporting LGBTIQA+ young people into our STEM and Customer Service businesses via good apprenticeships 🏫 - Promote internally our LGBTIQA+ diversity 🌈 In becoming an active ally we will also create (through the network), listening and feedback opportunities with the community about what matters to them and ask for their support to shape our future. I look forward to updating you next year on our progress, until then Happy Pride Month to all 🎉#PrideMonth #Equity #LGBTIQA+
