JELD-WEN, Inc.’s Post

Ferreira is deeply committed to supplier diversity and actively engages in this practice, exemplified by our attendance at events aimed at connecting with diverse suppliers. Supplier diversity, a vital business practice, involves including businesses owned by individuals from traditionally underrepresented or underserved groups in our procurement processes. Our active pursuit of diverse suppliers, who are at least 51% owned and operated by such individuals, extends to various classifications, including MBEs, WBEs, SBEs, and other minority-owned businesses, such as those led by LGBTQ+, veterans, and persons with disabilities. We reinforce our dedication to fostering an inclusive and equitable business environment by participating in events and networking opportunities.

Thanks for having me including Ciara Fayle, Les, Sam, Craig Bates and the rest of the team. The Australian LGBTQ+ Inclusion Awards is an event celebrating and awarding Australia's top organisations for LGBTQ+ inclusion based on the results of the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI). The AWEI (https://lnkd.in/grc8nwGy) The AWEI now stands as the definitive national benchmark on LGBTQ workplace inclusion and comprises the largest and only national employee survey designed to gauge the overall impact of inclusion initiatives on organisational culture as well as identifying and non-identifying employees. The Index drives best practice in Australia and sets a comparative benchmark for Australian employers across all sectors. For this reason alone, the Index has to be comprehensive and rigorous. The work compiled annually by employers submitting for the Index is a testament to the importance of LGBTQ inclusion with their current D&I initiatives. #PrideInDiversity #AustralianLGBTQInclusionAwards #AWEI #AWEI2024 #bettertogether #cisco #splunk

Reacting to 2023’s backlashes and boycotts, some brands have avoided Pride 2024 despite a clear commercial and moral imperative: globally, LGBTQ+ spending power rose by 20.5% between 2019 and 2023. But others are winning fans by digging in, surfacing hidden histories, creating sanctuaries, centring family (biological and chosen) and taking an educative role.

I was delighted to speak on this panel about LGBTQ+ inclusion in tech at Adobe, alongside IBM, Microsoft and Stonewall. Some key takeaways: - Learn about experiences that are different from your own. Who aren't you hearing from? Intentionally diversify your feeds, listen, learn and amplify. - Don't let fear of getting things wrong lead to inaction. Fail fast, move forward and be an active ally for marginalised communities. - Be aware of cultural sensitivity - what works in the UK wont necessarily work elsewhere and safety and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ people is paramount. - Micro-inclusions are powerful - normalising the use of pronouns, using gender neutral language in policies, having gender neutral facilities in workspaces can make a huge difference. - Instead of LGBTQ+ folks "coming out", workplaces should create a safe, inclusive environment in which LGBTQ+ people feel able to "invite people in". What other takeaways would you add to this list Liz Ward, Alexia Konstantinidi, John Lilly, Tim Jarman, Emma White?

As a Relationship Manager at Workplace Pride, Robert Corvers takes great pride in the work he does for our members and his community. Recently, Robert had the privilege to share his personal story and expertise on LGBTIQ+ inclusion in the workplace during a panel discussion at Squire Patton Boggs. 📽 You can view the video below. This opportunity was not just important; it was necessary. Globally, we are witnessing the resurgence of anti-gay laws in countries like Ghana, Russia, and even the US. Unfortunately, this often translates into increased discrimination and microaggressions against the LGBTIQ+ community. It is crucial for employers to not only acknowledge this issue but also take action. Prioritising inclusion aligns seamlessly with business objectives. It fosters a win-win situation – not only do satisfied employees result, but it also contributes to higher profits in the long run. #WorkplacePride #LGBTHistoryMonth  #InclusiveWorkplace  #LGBTIQ
