Check out these practical tips for business owners to embrace and celebrate Pride all year long within their organizations. 🌈

In our webinar with Great Place To Work US last month, I got to speak about how our work culture at JJ&S Environmental Services encourages honest conversations. We've made a point to encourage this. The thing is, as we continue growing, we know people are going to make mistakes in the process. We can't solve something we don't know about, so we celebrate when someone speaks up about an issue. All of this goes back to the importance of transparency in our work - one of our core values here.

Badges are a popular way to reward contributors, but they can also have unintended consequences. While they can motivate high-performing individuals, they can also make others feel left out. One way to mitigate this is to deliver badges individually and specifically, and only publicly celebrate the very top contributors. This can foster a more inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and recognized for their contributions. Let's create a culture of appreciation that makes everyone feel like a winner!

Is It Safe to Be You? During a spring visit to Bergen, my 4-year-old daughter, Tiril, posed a question: “Mom, can children go to jail in this country?” I reassured her, “No, my dear, we’re still in Norway, where children are not imprisoned.” She then asked if adults could face jail time. I replied, “Yes, if someone commits a serious offense.” June marks Pride month, and I’m heartened by the widespread allyship and support from individuals, communities, and organizations toward the LGBTQI+ community. While it lasts only a month, it comes with a value commitment for the full year. Personally, I’ve never feared imprisonment due to my identity or faced discrimination based on whom I love. The idea of others merely “tolerating” my sexual orientation has never crossed my mind. But how can I truly understand the LGBTQI+ experience? I can’t. Yet I have a choice: to be an ally and celebrate - or be neutral and merely tolerate. I’ve invested time in learning and forming my own convictions. I celebrate Pride because I believe all people share equal value. We should celebrate one another, not merely tolerate each other. Everyone deserves to feel safe and be true to themselves, loving whom they love. In Norsk Hydro, we proudly embrace #Pride. Our understanding grows with each lesson, emphasizing its importance. This year, in collaboration with Amnesty International, our theme is “Safe With Us - Everyone is welcome in Hydro" — safe to express themselves and love whomever they love. No one should be excluded or face imprisonment for being true to themselves, whether in Bergen or any city worldwide. Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈🌈

In the latest edition of Regulate, our CEO Duncan Rudkin reflects on the need to behave professionally, both in person an online, as an important part of creating an open and positive culture for staff and people receiving care >> https://lnkd.in/gDJmF9sx

A people-first approach emphasizing well-being is not just commendable—it's strategic. It's a reminder that well-cared-for people care for your business, enhance your reputation, and actively advance your strategy.

About the role that work can play in individual purpose, highlight what employees want from employers and what they aren’t getting, and describe what you can start doing about it. The prize? If you get this right, you can help your company become a better place to work and tap the enormous business potential of a purposeful workforce aligned with a purpose-driven organization. And please consider: purpose is not just “another corporate initiative.” You can’t mandate this. And if you approach your people with inconsistency, hypocrisy, or arrogance, you will likely do the organization and your reputation more harm than good. ** When you’re surrounded by people who share a passionate commitment around a common purpose, anything is possible."
