PSA 📛📛📛📛📛 Friendly, (but very stern) reminder that if your ERGs exclude people because they don't identify with your community - you are doing something ILLEGAL. Companies are being sued for this and I actually even met someone last week that said they just went through this situation at their company. There's other ways to ensure the psychological safety of your community that creating exclusionary spaces on the company's dime. I'm actually shocked at how frequently this practice is promoted.🙅🏿♀️ Happy to take this conversation to the DMs around how to pivot, but I encourage you to not let May end with you group Private/closed. Actually, I don't see any value in measuring who's an ally vs who is not in your ERG. There's better things to measure than that and often this is also a GDPR violation. If I ask if you if you're an ally to an LGBTQ ERG, I'm still asking you about your sexual orientation (which is illegal for me to ask because it's private data). If I ask if you're an ally to a Black ERG, I'm still asking Black people to disclose sensitive information (which is illegal for me to ask because it's private data). The ERG Movement is about changing the course for ERGs - that means stopping practices that could hurt the reputation of your ERG (or worse, give a "reason" aka excuse to kill the program overall - let's be honest there are some orgs that are waiting for one of those reasons).

I once had a colleague shyly tell me his partner was a man. At first, I was taken aback— “erm it’s more than just Drag Race, I'm an ally!" But then, I felt sad for him. How many people had he been nervous to tell before me? We were just casually talking about weddings. A recent Stonewall report found that many LGBTQIA employees don't feel safe being open about their identity at work. In celebration of Pride Month, let's discuss the importance of inclusive workplaces. While many businesses champion their LGBTQIA employees others still face discrimination and bullying. Challenges are even greater for Black, Asian, minority ethnic, trans and disabled LGBTQIA staff, with trans employees six times more likely to face physical attacks than their LGB peers. However, progress is possible. Leading employers have shown that with clear anti-discrimination policies and visible LGBTQIA role models businesses can become more inclusive. #PrideMonth #LGBTQIA #Inclusion #Diversity #WorkplaceEquality #SupportPride How is your business supporting Pride Month? Let’s share our efforts and inspire each other!
