🌈 Beyond the Rainbow: LGBTQ+ History Month According to a recent Stonewall report, only 44% of LGBTQ+ employees believe that their senior management demonstrate a visible commitment to the fight for LGBT+ equality all year round. This lowered to 28% when it came to visible support for the trans community specifically. It goes to show organisations and leaders have a responsibility to champion inclusive practices. This takes continuous learning and C-Inclusively are here to support you! 📒 Take a look at our LGBTQ+ Toolkit – your go-to resource for action steps for building inclusion in your organisation: https://lnkd.in/eA7dDrJW 🏳️🌈 Make your workplace an inclusive space for your LGBTQ+ employees all year round! #LGBTHistoryMonth #Ally #InclusiveLeader #Equality #Diversity #Inclusion

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 today's Business Post, I discuss the increasing prevalence of rainbow washing and the need for genuine corporate commitment to LGBTQ+ rights. Rainbow washing misleads people by superficially adopting LGBTQ+ symbols without substantive support for the community. True allyship requires year-round support and genuine partnerships that prioritise public benefit over private brand gains. Together, we can challenge hate, amplify marginalised voices, and build a future where every LGBTQ+ person is safe, seen, and celebrated.

Rainbow Washing' refers to companies using #pride symbols and aesthetics without genuinely supporting LGBTQ+ rights and dignity. The LGBTQ+ community faces workplace challenges like discrimination and lack of representation. Companies must actively create inclusive environments beyond Pride Month, showing a constant commitment to equality and inclusion.🌈🌈 Instead of falling into Rainbow Washing, we should focus on concrete actions promoting diversity and inclusion. This means implementing non-discrimination policies, training and awareness programs, and ensuring active LGBTQ+ representation at all levels, both internally and externally. Pride is not confined to a month but requires ongoing commitment.🌈🌈 We love being the ones who accompany you in boosting your brand. #womenownedmedia #nondiscrimantion #minorities
