Pride month, which takes place every year in June, reminds us that true inclusivity in the workplace protects, supports and nurtures every individual - allowing them a voice and to be heard. Also, that organisations benefit from an inclusive workforce. 🌈 "When everyone is included, everyone wins." Jesse Jackson. We want to highlight a podcast from the 'McKinsey Talks Talent' series, featuring Diana Ellsworth leader of DE&I at the consulting firm. As well as covering research into the real life experiences of LGBTQ+ employees, the discussion covers actions employers can take to foster diversity, from recruitment and on into the everyday.

#MondayManagers' Tip- From Memorial Day to Juneteenth and LGBTQ+ History Month, finding the best way to appreciate our staff and colleagues is often challenging. Great news: research shows every manager can improve through intentional engagement. A great starting point is having authentic, respectful, and meaningful one-on-one conversations to appreciate everyone's perspective. Often times, our workforce doesn't expect bold, revolutionary decisions but rather a clear, consistent effort to listen and understand. We can't improve anyone's experience if we don't first seek to acknowledge it.

We are incredibly appreciative of LinkedIn for choosing to partner with Impact Media on the 2024 “Out @ Work” Guide. As a media outlet with a majority LGBTQ+ staff that was founded by queer entrepreneurs, we know all too well about the realities of being LGBTQ+ in professional settings. With this LGBTQ+ Work Guide, we hope queer professionals are able to better navigate the invisible roadblocks they may face throughout their careers. We also hope companies begin to better assess how they can create safer workplace environments for their queer employees. In and out of work, the LGBTQ+ community deserve to express their fullest selves without fear of judgment. Together, we can make authenticity the norm. To learn more about the experiences of LGBTQ+ professionals in the workplace, check out LinkedIn x Impact Media’s 2024 “Out @ Work” Guide below.

THIS WEEK ON MY QUEER CAREER: my weekly newsletter on LinkedIn focused on empowering LGBTQ+ (& Ally) professionals. Vol 18. This week’s question: Dear “Gay Leadership Dude®” … It seems my work has been in a constant state of change for the past few years. But one of the good changes is how we’ve focused more on celebrating diversity and inclusion. What is your advice on how not to just champion that kind of change, but determine if our efforts are making a difference? ~ Changemaker Chaz My 2¢ : Your support for an inclusive workplace is crucial. Many LGBTQ+ employees struggle with authenticity at work; 46% are closeted, 53% hear jokes about LGBTQ+ people, and 31% feel unhappy. Focus on these five indicators for an inclusive environment: leadership actions, inclusive corporate policies, real corporate values, support for inclusion, and external LGBTQ+ rights efforts. Reflect on your organization's status and identify areas for improvement or enhancement. Your commitment can drive significant change. Let's create a space where everyone feels valued. WHAT DO YOU THINK? To stay connected, you can subscribe through the link below. And help me break the 5,000 subscriber mark? PLEASE? :^D https://lnkd.in/eH38iTuf #lgbtqa #diversity #inclusion #thegayleadershipdude #leadership
