UK retailers are leading the charge towards a more inclusive shopping experience with the rise of gender-neutral fitting rooms. While the Equality Act 2010 recognizes the importance of women-only spaces in specific contexts, the increasing availability of gender-neutral options reflects a society that is progressively embracing the LGBTQ+ community. The significance extends beyond just catering to transgender and non-binary individuals who may feel uneasy in traditional setups. These spaces offer: 1) Heightened Privacy: Catering to those who prefer a fitting experience devoid of gender-specific labels. 2) Comfort for All: Welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for every shopper 3) Equality in Retail: Every individual deserves a fitting space that respects their dignity. This represents the evolution of shopping—a future where inclusivity is paramount. #GenderEquality #UKRetail #FittingRoomFeels

Pride Month is taking a different tone this year with many brands choosing whispers over shouts in their celebrations ????. But why the subtle shift in content and marketing strategy? It's not about doing less; it's about striving for more authentic connections and support for the LGBTQ+ communities. This move towards quieter celebrations aims to avoid the backlash of commercialization and the pitfalls of appropriation, emphasizing actions that speak louder than just seasonal campaigns. Experts and community members alike notice this trend, pointing out that genuine allyship doesn't end with June. It's about integrating this support into the very fabric of a brand's ethos, ensuring that advocacy and representation are not just annual checkmarks but sustained efforts. So, while the flashy parades of brand logos in rainbow colors might be less prevalent, the work behind the scenes—be it through partnerships with LGBTQ+ organizations, inclusive policies, or spotlighting queer voices—has ramped up. This evolution in advertising strategies reflects a deeper understanding and respect for the nuances of pride, aiming to celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community year-round, not just for a month. #PrideMonth #AuthenticAllyship #InclusiveMarketing #BrandEvolution

It's shameful to see Harley-Davidson Motor Company turn its back on its customers and cave to MAGA bullies. Our Corporate Equality Index is the leading benchmarking tool for companies, measuring benefits and initiatives crucial to LGBTQ+ employees and customers. We continue to see record-breaking company engagement, especially at a time when nearly 30% of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ+ and our community holds $1.4 trillion in spending power. Harley-Davidson Motor Company should remain committed to its core values and reject divisive rhetoric. Retreating from these principles undermines both consumer trust and employee success. https://lnkd.in/esR4DV2f

This #PrideMonth, we want to celebrate progress, but there is so much more to do. In the last few years, we started several initiatives designed to improve equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI). We recognise we need to be more ambitious – and that’s where our EDI strategy, Igniting Change, comes in. By working together to gather evidence, take action and identify our long-term goals, we know we can ignite change and get closer to tackling inequalities. A more diverse, inclusive, and fair BHF will not only improve the quality of what we do, but the impact we have. We’re holding ourselves to account to champion inclusivity as we continue to fight against heart health inequalities, and try to save more lives than ever before.

?? 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

‘Without U there is no US’ - reflecting on #NationalInclusionWeek. At Novus, we know that diversity and inclusion are strengths: that’s why we launched four networks dedicated to uplifting and supporting colleagues from under-represented groups. They are: ?? WiN – Women in Novus ?? REaCH – Race, Ethnicity, and Cultural Heritage ?? Proud Together – a space for LGBTQ+ colleagues ?? Carers Together – a network of carers from across the business In each network, members of these groups have space to take the lead and tell their own stories, with the full support of our Board. In fact, every network has a Board sponsor so these are not echo chambers – they exist to amplify voices that are often overlooked. #ColleagueNetworks #TheNovusWay #InclusiveEmployer
