How to recognise rainbow washing 🌈🧼 When companies slap on a rainbow without taking meaningful action to promote equality and inclusion for the LGBTQ+ community.  👉 Here’s a step-by-step on how to avoid rainbow washing this year: https://linktw.in/VwCHcR #RainbowWashing #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #Inclusion #Belonging #DiversityAndInclusion #Allyship

This is so important. A former employer of mine had an LGBTQIA+ ERG whose only contribution was sending a bunch of staff to a pride parade with rainbow swag to give out. Queer employees need inclusion. They need to feel welcome and like they're on an even footing with their straight, cis colleagues and allies. They need benefits and systems that recognize their relationships and unique needs. It's demoralizing to come to work and feel like you have to hide yourself. You often spend more time with your coworkers than your loved ones, and it hurts to have to hide the latter. And it makes trans employees feel unwelcome when your computer systems put their legal names front & center day in and day out. A company that proactively makes people feel included is going to have an easier time retaining them.

Systemic change is needed, and it starts at the top of an organisation, not just by your LGBTIQA+ employees. Let's start the change there, then we can talk about cupcakes...

When our current systems and spaces don’t meet the needs of LGBTQ+ clients, students, and employees, how do we fix them? Check out this video for some great tips. https://lnkd.in/eEk5TS9K #lgbtq #ally #inclusionmatters

Hey Marketers, It's Pride Month, but ditch the rainbow washing! This year, focus on REAL connections with the LGBTQ+ community. Ditch the fluff, deliver value. Pride merch is cool, but what about creating a valuable resource for the LGBTQ+ community? Think Skittles- it shows you understand their needs. Partner with LGBTQ+ creators. Let the community own the narrative. Amplify their voices and showcase their talent. True advocacy is about empowering others, not just tooting your own horn. Pride is year-round. Don't be a one-month wonder. Integrate LGBTQ+ support into your brand like MAC Cosmetics. Real allyship is a long-term commitment. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ+Ally #AuthenticMarketing
