In the corporate world, we pride ourselves on being forward-thinking, on leading change, and driving innovation. Yet, when it comes to the inclusion of LGBTQ individuals, we often find ourselves lagging behind. It is time we bridge this gap, not just because it is the right thing to do, but because inclusivity drives creativity and success. June is round the corner. What are some of your agenda for the #pride Month #lgbtqia #inclusion #diversity 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️🌈

We all have a diversity story to tell, and that’s why at Sonepar, we believe in creating a work environment where everyone can feel safe, use their voice, and know that they belong. For many countries around the world, June marks the beginning of Pride month, which is both a celebration and a time to raise awareness to improve the visibility, acceptance, and legal protections for the LGBTQ+ community. 🌈 “We celebrate our differences, recognizing their role in driving innovation and excellence. Central to this ethos is our unwavering support for our LGBTQ+ colleagues. Through allyship and inclusive practices, we reject all forms of discrimination and remain committed to a fair, equitable, and respectful workplace for all associates. Together, we empower each team member to bring their authentic selves to work, driving positive change and ensuring Sonepar remains a place where every individual can flourish,” Philippe Delpech, Sonepar President.

As advocates for corporate social responsibility with a diverse team, we strive for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion because they're essential values. However, effectively communicating these values can be challenging for companies particularly during LGBTQ+ Pride Month when companies unveil rainbow-themed products and rebranding efforts. The phenomenon of "rainbow washing" has led to skepticism towards brands that seem to capitalize on the LGBTQ+ community, often resulting in fumbled Pride messaging or misaligned values. To ensure authenticity and alignment, our team uses 4 strategies to avoid rainbow washing, not only during Pride Month but every month: https://loom.ly/RaZ7KC4

Working where I can be and share my whole self is non-negotiable.

As a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and the executive sponsor for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at ECMS, I firmly believe that fostering an inclusive environment strengthens our organization and contributes to the betterment of our society. It is my personal commitment to ensure that everyone feels safe, respected, and valued within our community.   Here are a few ways you can become an ally: 1. Learn about the LGBTQ+ community, its history, and challenges. 2. Stand up and speak out against discrimination and offensive language. 3. Donate, volunteer, or participate in events that support LGBTQ+ rights, visibility, and culture. 4. Use inclusive language, preferred pronouns, and avoid assumptions about someone’s gender. 5. Listen to LGBTQ+ colleagues without judgment. If you make a mistake, be open to being corrected to get it right the next time. #PrideMonth #belongatBASF #ALLChemie

Happy pride month! 🏳️🌈❤️ As we step into this vibrant month of celebration, I want to take a moment to reflect on the importance of visibility for queer individuals in the office space. As a proud lesbian and poly person, I understand the profound impact that being seen and acknowledged can have on an individual. It's about more than just being present; it's about creating a space where we can all feel safe, supported, and free to express our true selves without fear. While we celebrate Pride, we must also confront the rise in hate crimes in Norway (as well as the rest of the world), a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for true equality. Let's stand united against such hate and advocate for a society where love and acceptance prevail. Visibility matters. It paves the way for understanding, acceptance, and change. This Pride, let's commit to fostering an environment where every voice is heard, every identity is respected, and every person can thrive. Here's to celebrating our unique journeys and the collective progress we've made. #Pride #Inclusivity #Visibility

In #publicsafety , everyone is #family You spend more holidays with your co-workers than you do with your own family. Of course, you have that weird aunt or grumpy uncle but at the end of the day - regardless of race, gender, religious beliefs, sexuality, etc. Everyone loves eachother and supports eachother through those difficult calls. Coming over to the private sector, I didn’t know what to expect. #Thankful to have joined a company that welcomes #diversity and supports all employees. Verint has created a culture that embraces #inclusion while providing #opportunities and #support for everyone. #equality #employeeresourcegroup #ERG #diversity #verint #publicsector #publicsafety #community #bestplacestowork #culture #proud #together #verinteer #technology #techjobs #womenintech
