#WordOfTheWeek - Reflecting on International Allyship Day, let's celebrate the power of allyship in building inclusive workplaces where everyone can thrive. Small actions, like using correct pronouns, make a big difference: 💡 Pronouns reflect gender identity—don’t assume, just listen. 💡 Unsure? Use 'they' (e.g., "their desk is free"). 💡 Mistakes happen—apologise, correct, and move on. 💡 Sharing your pronouns is a strong act of respect and allyship. Want to learn more? ✦ Check out ‘How to Talk About Pronouns at Work: A Visual Guide’ by Paige Cohen and Lily Zheng: https://lnkd.in/gsmJn-wc ✦ Our education team is finalising the second edition of the LEAD Network Gender-Inclusive Language Guide, coming in September. Exclusively for Partners, it offers insights and tips for fostering inclusive corporate environments.
