Today, I attended an insightful ESG talk hosted by Times of Malta at Intercontinental. The focus was on the social aspect of ESG, which is affected by various factors such as inclusivity, diversity, and LGBTQ rights. It was an engaging discussion that shed light on how we can create more equitable and inclusive workplaces. #ESG #inclusivity #diversity #LGBTQ

Pride Month may be over, but our commitment to equality never ends. 🌈 As we transition from June's celebrations, let's remember that Pride is a daily practice, not just a yearly event. The fight for diversity, equity, and inclusion for every segment of the LGBTQ+ community continues 365 days a year. It's crucial to recognize that LGBTQ+ individuals face not only the challenges common to all marginalized communities, but also additional burdens: • Homophobia and transphobia • Lack of bodily autonomy • Higher rates of homelessness • Underemployment • Mental health challenges • Healthcare disparities These issues don't disappear when the rainbow flags come down. As business leaders and community members, we must maintain our focus on creating inclusive workplaces and advocating for equitable policies year-round. Let's carry the spirit of Pride into every month, every week, every day. How are you fostering inclusivity in your organization beyond June? Share your ongoing initiatives and ideas below. #PrideIsEveryday #Inclusion #LGBTQ #DiversityAndInclusion #BusinessLeadership

True transformation requires us to listen to everyone, design inclusively, and ensure that every voice is valued. Only then can we create solutions that are genuinely transformative and equitable.

Celebrate Pride Month sustainably! As we celebrate Pride Month and honour the trailblazers who paved the way for LGBTQ+ rights, let's also commit to creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone, every day. At Thalia Waste Management, we believe in building a future where love and respect are universal. Whilst celebrating this month, let's also think about doing so sustainably. Here are a few tips to show your pride and love for the planet: ·      Use reusable pride flags and decorations. ·      Support LGBTQ+ businesses with sustainable practices. ·      Recycle your pride event materials properly. ·      Carpool or use public transport to pride events. Let’s make this Pride Month a celebration of love and sustainability! #PrideMonth #EqualityForAll #SustainablePride #WasteManagement #InclusiveWorkplace #LoveWins

As we wrap up Pride Month on July 1st, it's important to remember that Pride is not confined to a single month—it's a year-round celebration of diversity, acceptance, and love. 🌈 Pride Month may end, but our commitment to creating inclusive spaces and supporting the LGBTQ+ community continues daily. Inclusion isn't a trend; it's a fundamental value that shapes our workplaces, communities, and lives. Let's carry the spirit of Pride with us throughout the year by: 1. Advocating for Inclusive Policies: Ensure that our workplaces are safe and welcoming for everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. 2. Educating Ourselves and Others: Continue learning about the experiences and challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community. Knowledge fosters understanding and empathy. 3. Supporting LGBTQ+ Initiatives: Whether through volunteering, donating, or participating in events, let's actively support organisations that uplift and empower the LGBTQ+ community. 4. Being Allies: Stand up against discrimination and be a voice for equality. Small actions can lead to significant changes. Pride is a celebration of how far we've come and a reminder of the work still ahead. Together, we can build a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. #PrideEveryDay #InclusionMatters #LoveIsLove #YearRoundPride #LGBTQAlly

🌈 It’s Pride month, and the opportunity to recognise and celebrate #inclusion and #diversity within #communities, the workplace and the construction industry. For many years the LGBTQ+ community has been working towards inclusion, representation and acceptance, and this year’s #Pride theme - ‘Reflect. Empower. Unite’ - recognises how far the LGBTQ+ community has come, and the work that is still needed to ensure inclusion. We fully support the evolution towards a more open and accepting community, and the strides that the UK #construction sector has been making in recent years to embrace diversity and encourage a more inclusive environment in what has historically been a straight, male dominated industry. Many organisations within construction are now taking steps to change attitudes and outdated perceptions to ensure employees within the LGBTQ+ community are equally respected, represented and included within their workforce. Our day-to-day business is centred around the wellbeing of people and recognising diversity is really important to us. We are proud to support this month’s celebrations, reflections and hopes for a more diverse future. 🌈 #communities #pridemonth #wellbeing #diversity #inclusivity #pride

J O U R N E Y 🚦🏳️🌈 Reflecting on my professional journey, I am struck by the immense growth and transformation I have experienced over the past few years. For eight years, I worked with an organization while navigating the challenges of being closeted. Seeking better opportunities, I eventually decided to leave and relocate to Gurgaon, which brought me to new and exciting professional landscapes. Returning to Mumbai after one year marked a significant turning point in my life. I was invited back to the same organization, not as an employee but as a panelist and participant in a skit, celebrating my identity on a grand scale. This invitation felt like a culmination of my one-year journey from being closeted to embracing my true self openly and proudly. 💬 I often wonder if the relocation played a role in this transformation. Perhaps it provided the necessary #distance and #perspective to understand my worth and the importance of authenticity. #Relocating allowed me to rediscover my strength and voice, empowering me to come out and celebrate my identity without fear. This journey has reaffirmed my belief in the power of embracing one's true self and the incredible support of inclusive workplaces. I am deeply grateful for the encouragement and acceptance I have received from my colleagues and peers. As I continue this journey, I am committed to #advocating for LGBTQIA rights and fostering environments where everyone can thrive authentically. Here's to embracing change, celebrating diversity, and living our truths boldly! #CareerJourney #LGBTQIA #Inclusion #Diversity #Authenticity #ProfessionalGrowth

As Pride Month comes to a close, I am filled with gratitude and reflection. Celebrating the vibrant history, resilience, and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community is not confined to June; it’s a year-round commitment. As someone who researches diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, I witness firsthand the transformative power of inclusion. Diversity is not just a metric to be measured but a profound source of creativity and innovation. Our workplaces thrive when everyone can bring their whole selves to the table. Let’s continue to champion policies that protect LGBTQ+ rights, foster inclusive environments, and amplify queer voices. Remember, true allyship means standing up, speaking out, and taking actionable steps every single day. Together, we can create spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. Pride is more than a month; it’s a movement toward equality and justice. #Pride2024 #LGBTQ+ #DiversityandInclusion #EqualityForAll
