🏳️🌈 As Pride Month comes to a close, let's reflect on the key topics we've discussed: rainbow washing, the intersections of race and LGBTQ+ identities, and building supportive workplaces for LGBTQ+ employees. Our goal was to educate, raise awareness, and provide actionable takeaways. But remember, our commitment to inclusion and equity should extend beyond June. 🏳️⚧️ As we move forward, let's keep in mind that cultivating an inclusive and equitable society is an ongoing effort. Let's carry the spirit of Pride Month into every day of the year, ensuring that every LGBTQ+ individual feels valued and respected. 🌈 [alt description in the comments] #PrideMonth #Intersectionality #LGBTQPOC #EquityInAction #DiversityMatters #InclusionJourney #DiversityandInclusion #DiverseVoices #EqualityForAll #SocialJustice #Empowerment #RepresentationMatters #InclusiveLeadership #Intersectionality #DiversityInTech #InclusiveCulture #GenderEquality #CulturalDiversity #RacialEquity #InclusionRevolution #ChangeMakers #InclusiveCommunity #gkwcc #greaterkwchamber #cambridge_chamber #edistrategy #smallbussiness #startup #employeeengagement #SupportLGBTQ #WorkplaceInclusion

#HappyPride2024 from all of us InterInvest LGBT+ equality and inclusion - the first LGBTQ+ network dedicated to the asset management and savings industry in the U.K. As we celebrate Pride 2024, we at InterInvest stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. This month is not just a time for celebration but also a call to action. While we honor the progress we’ve made, we must acknowledge the ongoing threats to the laws that protect us. Our existence and rights are not confined to the month of June; we exist 365 days a year. It is crucial that we remain vigilant and proactive in advocating for change. This means recognising and addressing the issues that affect marginalized individuals within our community, including ageism, racism, lesbophobia, transphobia, and more. We are stronger together. Let’s embrace our differences, celebrate individuality, and actively fight to preserve our rights globally. By championing change, we can create a more inclusive and equitable world for all. Together, we can make a difference. Find out more at www.interinvest.org #StrongerTogether #Pride2024 #LGBTQ+Advocacy #CelebrateIndividuality #FightForChange

For International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, we wanted to shine a light on the fact that one in five (19%) of LGBTQ+ young adults experience bullying in the workplace, and a quarter of them said they went 'back in the closet' when they started work, according to a report from Just Like Us.   We have previously discussed the phenomenon of LGBTQ+ employees feeling they had to go 'back in the closet' (which you can read about here: https://lnkd.in/dxskEi-4), and believe that this issue captures why building a culture with a foundation of inclusion and belonging is so important.   #lgbtq #inclusion #dei #culture

"Accidental Exclusion by Inclusion" is a common occurrence we witness, when it comes to showcasing being an inclusive organisation. This is especially common when it comes to inclusion of LGBTQ+ folx. While the actions are often well intentioned and positive, certain words, behaviors can end up having the opposite result; rather than making them feel included or appreciated, it makes them feel tokenized and / or singled out. In this video, we delve into the concept of "Accidental Exclusion by Inclusion" through a real-life example. Watch it to see how you can avoid it from subtly manifesting at your workplace too. Have you witnessed something similar or have been on the receiving end of such situations? Would love to hear them. If you have any tips on dealing with them, do share those as well. #ReLink #TowardsInclusion #LGBTQ #PrideMonth #Pride2024 #DEI #diversity #Equity #inclusion #LGBTQplus

#IDAHOT, the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, celebrated on May 17th, serves as a global call to action for #LGBTQ+ rights and visibility. This crucial day highlights the ongoing struggle against discrimination and violence faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. In the workplace, IDAHOT is a powerful reminder that fostering inclusivity and equity is not only ethical but also vital for innovation and growth. By enabling diversity and standing against prejudice, organizations can create dynamic, supportive environments where everyone is empowered to contribute their best. By being an ally, you champion equity and belonging, collaborating to create a workplace of acceptance and respect. #DiversityInclusion #Allyship #Equity #Belonging #IDAHOT
