Amen! When team members can bring their individual differences to work, the team is more capable of meeting stakeholder, org/company or, in the case of development teams, donor needs with rigorous logic, deep empathy and high authenticity. Inclusive teams produce consistently better outcomes in the short and long term. If you want a competitive edge, build diverse, inclusive teams with intention. It won't be easy but the pay off is worth it.

🏳️🌈 As Pride Month approaches, I find myself reflecting on the concept of rainbow washing and its impact on LGBTQ+ communities in India. Over the years, I've witnessed corporations embracing rainbow flags and changing their logos to show support during Pride Month. While this visibility is important, it often feels performative without substantive action behind it. In India, where LGBTQ+ rights still face significant challenges, it's crucial for corporations to move beyond surface-level gestures and actively advocate for change. This means implementing inclusive policies, fostering diverse workplaces, and supporting LGBTQ+ organizations and causes year-round. As someone who has experienced the effects of rainbow washing firsthand, I urge corporations to prioritize authenticity and accountability in their allyship efforts. Let's work together to create a future where every member of the LGBTQ+ community feels seen, heard, and valued. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ+ #Inclusion #AuthenticAllyship 🌈

Pride Month has begun! 🌈 You see so many companies get the bad press for showing up & supporting during this month, which seems slightly unfair. Pride is a celebration of people coming together in love & friendship, to show just how far LGBTQ+ rights have come, and how in some places there's still work to be done and that should be recognised. 👏 When the month is over I know Light & Wonder will still be supporting its Creators by: - Being passionate about its values - #CelebratePerspectives ✅ - Supporting it's Employee Resource Groups (ERGs - EMBRACE 💕) ✅ - Continually looking for ways to improve in such areas like diversity, equity & inclusion ✅ However you support/celebrate - enjoy the Month. Life's too short not to...

Throughout Pride month, rainbow-washing is everywhere you look, from retailers to politicians to corporations that typically have nothing to do with LGBTQ+ rights. Corporations or political entities use rainbow-washing, otherwise known as pinkwashing, to promote LGBTQ-friendliness in an attempt to downplay or soften negative aspects. If you support the LGBTQ-community you can’t be that bad, right? Wrong. Pride is not performative. And Pride is not a marketing tactic. Read on to learn more about how to take your organization from rainbow-washing to true allyship. #PrideMonth #RainbowWashing #DiversityEquityInclusion #LGBTQ+ #Allyship

It's true that investing in LGBTQ+ equality is too risky... is a total MYTH! Studies show that companies prioritizing diversity and inclusion often outperform their peers. This Pride Month, let's highlight the power of socially responsible investing (SRI) to create positive change. By choosing to invest in companies that champion LGBTQ+ rights, equality, and inclusion, you can align your financial goals with your values. #InvestWithPride #SRI #EqualityMatters #PrideMonth

In marketing, we have something called seasonal content, but should all relevant events be categorized as "seasonal content"? 🌈 As a marketer who champions inclusivity, I've grown weary of seeing Pride reduced to a marketing ploy. 🏳️🌈 This Pride Month, let's go beyond superficial gestures. Don't use this significant time if your commitment to LGBTQ+ rights isn't genuine and consistent year-round. 🌟 It's about making real changes in our companies and communities, ensuring inclusivity every day, not just in June. 🌈 Let's use this month as an opportunity for genuine advocacy and impactful actions. Together, we can build workplaces and communities where everyone feels valued and respected. #pridemonth #marketing #realsupport
