Happy Pride! ????? As we mark another Pride month, let's honor those who paved the way for equality and social acceptance. We must create spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals to connect, support each other, and foster a sense of belonging. Advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, equality, and social justice remains paramount as we strive for progress. In the workplace, there's still a long road ahead: - Only four "out" LGBTQIA+ CEOs and a mere 0.8% of Fortune 500 Board Members identify as LGBTQ+. - LGBTQ+ representation in entry-level roles and managerial positions remains low, with LGBTQ+ women and men facing disparities. - LGBTQ+ workers, especially women, encounter challenges in advancing to senior positions, with concerns about the impact of their sexual orientation on career progression. - Shockingly, half of LGBTQ+ employees feel pressured to conceal their identity at work. - Trans individuals face disproportionately high unemployment rates and financial struggles compared to the general population. - LGBTQ+ workers hesitate to report discriminatory incidents due to skepticism about potential actions being taken. Let's continue to advocate, support, and work towards a more inclusive and equitable workplace for all. #PrideMonth #DiversityandInclusion #Equality #SocialJustice

In the tapestry of human history, there are threads woven by remarkable individuals whose stories often remain hidden. Among these threads are the tales of LGBTQ+ individuals whose courage and contributions have shaped our world in profound ways. Take, for instance, #PrinceManvendraSinghGohil, whose openness about his identity challenged centuries-old traditions in Indian royalty, sparking conversations about LGBTQ+ rights in elite circles. Similarly, #SushantDivgikar, through his vibrant advocacy and visibility as a drag queen, has become a beacon of hope for LGBTQ+ youth, proving that authenticity and self-expression know no bounds. From the realms of art and literature to the frontiers of science and activism, LGBTQ+ individuals like #VirginiaWoolf and #AlanTuring have left indelible marks on history, enriching our understanding of the human experience. Their voices echo through time, reminding us of the richness and diversity of human experience. However, many of these narratives remain obscured, overshadowed by prevailing norms and biases. It's time to cast aside the veil of ignorance and shine a spotlight on these unsung heroes. Let's honor the legacies of those who dared to challenge the status quo and pave the way for a more inclusive future. Join me in commemorating LGBTQ+ legacy and embracing the power of untold stories to inspire change and foster a culture of inclusion. Together, let's rewrite the narrative, ensuring that the voices of LGBTQ+ individuals are heard, celebrated, and cherished for generations to come. #LGBTQHistory #Inclusion #UntoldLegacy

????? As Pride Month comes to a close, it's essential to remember that celebrating and supporting the LGBTQ+ community shouldn't be confined to just one month. At the start of Pride Month, I shared a blog post about inclusively celebrating LGBTQ+ history and achievements, along with recommendations for ongoing inclusion efforts year-round. According to a recent study by the Human Rights Campaign, nearly half of LGBTQ+ employees remain closeted at work. This highlights the ongoing need for inclusive workplaces where everyone feels safe and valued. Now, as we reflect on the progress made and the work still to be done, I encourage everyone to revisit this blog and operationalize these recommendations to ensure continuous support and inclusion for the LGBTQ+ community. ??

How are you using Pride Month to embed inclusion that extends beyond the 30 days? It's crucial that businesses use Pride Month to commit to tangible actions for LGBTQ+ inclusion that go beyond statements of solidarity and changing corporate logos for the month. LGBTQ+ employees deserve equitable tools, strong allyship and to thrive in organizations where they are safe, respected and able to be their full selves. The first step in embedding inclusion requires businesses to better understand LGBTQ+ histories, global contexts and even the appropriate language to use when discussing issues that LGBTQ+ communities face. That's where we helped this global and reputable beauty and cosmetics brand who wanted to take their LGBTQ+ inclusion aims to the next level. Take a look at the case study below. Get in touch with the INvolve team at [email protected], we can support your ambitious goals to make LGBTQ+ inclusion a reality within your organization. https://lnkd.in/gqd6rA6 #DEI #Diversityandinclusion #Diversityequityandinclusion #LGBTQPlus #LGBTQInclusion #PrideMonth #Pride2024 #Allyship #LGBTBiz #Advocacy #Culturechange #Culturetransformation #Trainingsandworkshops #TalentDevelopment

?? The End of LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion efforts? Not so fast. ?? While countless headlines claim corporate America is moving away from LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion efforts, it's worth reiterating that the issue is still there: we are far from having achieved economic inclusion: - LGBTQ+ still face a steep lavender ceiling according to the Association of LGBTQ+ Corporate Directors ?? - LGBTQ+ people are still overrepresented among the 40% poorest according to the The Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law LGBTQ+ people can also adapt their strategies to a complex external context: strengthening informal networks, adapting their narratives and highlighting the many corporate champions that still believe in dignity and economic opportunities for LGBTQ+ people?? I put together a quick video to offer my perspective on why we can't let this moment pass without reflection—and action. ????? ??#DEI #Leadership #CorporateResponsibility #Innovation

?? June is Pride Month—a time to honor and celebrate the rich diversity and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community and commemorate the advocates and allies fighting for their rights. It is also a time for reflection on the cultural aspects and ongoing social justice challenges the LGBTQ+ community faces. Despite progress, the LGBTQ+ community still encounters discrimination, violence, and inequities in healthcare, education, employment, and housing. At Bay Cove, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment for our LGBTQ+ colleagues and those we serve. Here are steps we can take to create a more inclusive workplace: ?? Educate Yourself and Others: Learn about LGBTQ+ issues and history. Share this knowledge with colleagues to build awareness and understanding. ??? Use Inclusive Language: Be mindful of using inclusive language, including pronouns, in all communications and interactions. ?? Support LGBTQ+ Initiatives: Participate in or support LGBTQ+ programs and events within our organization and the broader community. ????? Create Safe Spaces: Ensure that our workplace is a safe space where LGBTQ+ individuals feel respected and valued. ?? Advocate for Policies: Support and advocate for policies that promote equality and protect against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. #BayCoveHumanServices #CASPARShelters #BostonPride #BostonPrideForThePeople #PrideMonth #Inclusion #Equality #LGBTQ #GayBoston #LesbianBoston #QueerBoston #LGBTQBoston #TransRightsAreHumanRights

as Pride Month is approaching in many US states, the ACLU is tracking more than 515 anti-LGBTQ bills across US state legislatures. sadly, this is a new record. as a point of comparison, that’s nearly three-times the number of such bills introduced in 2022. with that, it builds fear and safety concerns within the LGBTQ+ community that spill over into the workplace. as Lily Zheng states, leaders and companies should commit and recommit to: ? connecting LGBTQ+ inclusion to their customer base, operations, and values. ? collaboratively design initiatives that benefit LGBTQ+ communities. ? taking a purposeful stand and defending it. please share and/or comment on this post for visibility. allyship and support go a long way, particularly in times like this. #humanresources #leadership #LGBTQ #pride #inclusion #community

New data from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation reveals that over 75% of LGBTQ+ adults would view companies less favorably if they roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. This backlash could significantly impact where LGBTQ+ individuals choose to work and spend their money. With Gen Z and the LGBTQ+ community holding substantial economic power, it’s crucial for companies to maintain their DEI commitments to retain top talent and consumer loyalty. ???? #LGBTQ #DEI #Diversity #Inclusion #Equity #WorkplaceCulture
