RWE’s Post

⚡️🌈 The energy sector continues to fall behind other industries on the Stonewall Index, suggesting there's more to be done by organisations and individuals to foster a more inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ colleagues. ⚡️🌈 See our post below for some ideas on how you as an individual can support LGBTQ+ people in your day-to-day work and personal lives!

1 June 2024 – It’s the start of #PrideMonth and we’re celebrating with loved ones, families and allies – so, whether you’re in the mining industry or in the community at large – Happy Pride. Freedom is what it’s all about – to be who you are, love whom you love and do so openly. Canada has been a global leader in LGBT+ rights for decades, but there’s always room to make things better for everyone through advocacy and education. Since RGCI was formed in 2014, we have created a work environment and culture where employees and colleagues are respected and able to be themselves. #Equality, #Diversity and #Inclusion are powerful antidotes to ignorance, bigotry and fear. Now more than ever, we’re proud to stand with the LGBT+ community in celebrating Pride Month. #ReactionGeological #GeoscienceLiteracy #GeoscienceEducation #GeoscienceAdvocacy #GeoscienceMentor #Geochemistry #Geoscience #Diversity #Inclusion #Respect #Pride #Equality #LGBT+ #Pride2024 #LoveWins

🌈 What's the first thing you think of when I mention "Pride" or "Pride Month"?   💖 For some, Pride is about being able to live their truth every day without fear – in both, their daily lives as well as at the workplace. 💖 For others, it might be more of an internal personal journey from self-awareness or self-discovery to self-acceptance. 💖 There are also those who wish to live their authentic lives but they see no need to announce it to others.   Pride Month is about understanding that all these expressions of queerness are valid, and that there is progress to be found and achieved in each of them.   This year, Capgemini is kickstarting its Pride celebrations in the month of May – because why not? Celebrating queerness or allyship to the LGBT+ community cannot (and should not) be restricted to just one month in the entire year. Follow Capgemini to understand how they support LGBT+ inclusion, ensuring every colleague feels comfortable in bringing their authentic selves to the workplace.   https://lnkd.in/dKnhWUDU   #Pride2024 #PrideMonth #InclusiveFutures #LifeAtCapgemini

🌈 Celebrating inclusivity with Sebastian, Nicolas, Ashian and Carla 🌈   As the first company in the healthcare and medico-social sector to be certified Top Employer Europe, we have a responsibility to be exemplary.   On this International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, we would like to reaffirm Clariane’s commitment to equality, diversity and respect for the rights of LGBT+ people. 🏳️🌈✊   Our Group is committed to setting an example in terms of diversity and to foster an inclusive working environment that enables our employees to be who they are at all times.   After initially signing the LGBT+ Charter of L'Autre Cercle in 2018, we have renewed our support and involvement for a three-year period in 2023. We also developed e-learning training modules to raise awareness of LGBT+ inclusion among employees in collaboration with L’Autre Cercle.   But we are convinced that there is always room for improvement. To strengthen our actions, we formed in 2023 an European HR working group to facilitate the sharing of existing good practices, then to determine our priority areas of work. Next step ➡️ the implementation of a diversity and inclusion action plans in 2024 in all of the countries where we operate.   At Clariane, you have your place to make a difference.   Remi Boyer Mathilde Tabary   #ClarianeAtYourSide #AllCaregivers #inclusivity #diversity #GenderDiversity #lgbt+ #IDAHOT

🏳️🌈 Celebrating Global Milestones of the LGBT+ Community 🏳️🌈 As we mark another Pride Month, it's a powerful moment to reflect on the remarkable milestones achieved by the LGBT+ community worldwide. 🌍 1️⃣ Legal Victories: Numerous countries have made significant progress in recognizing and protecting the rights of LGBT+ individuals. From marriage equality to anti-discrimination laws, these legal victories continue to pave the way for a more inclusive society. 2️⃣ Visibility Matters: The representation of LGBT+ voices in media, politics, and various industries is on the rise. This increased visibility helps challenge stereotypes and fosters greater acceptance and understanding. 3️⃣ Corporate Inclusion: Many organizations have embraced diversity and inclusion initiatives, making the workplace more welcoming for LGBT+ employees. These efforts not only benefit individuals but also contribute to business success. 4️⃣ Healthcare Advancements: Progress in healthcare, including access to gender-affirming care and mental health support, has improved the well-being of many in the community. 5️⃣ Global Solidarity: The global LGBT+ community continues to come together, supporting one another and advocating for change. Events like Pride Month remind us of the strength in unity. Let's celebrate these milestones and recognize that there is still work to be done. Together, we can continue pushing for a world where everyone can live authentically and without fear. 🌈 #Pride2023 #LGBTQ+ #InclusionMatters [Image: Rainbow flag and diverse hands coming together]

🌈 Reflecting on the End of LGBT+ History Month: A Call to Action 🌈 As we bid farewell to LGBT+ History Month, it's crucial to acknowledge the progress we've made in promoting inclusivity and understanding. However, the end of this designated month should not mark the conclusion of our efforts. There is still much work to be done, and our commitment to fostering a diverse and accepting society must extend beyond a mere 28 or 30 days. As we move forward, let's channel our collective energy into a few actionable steps we can take: ✨ If you manage people, make sure you understand the policies that would impact LGBT+ people. ✨Show your support for equality visibly and talk about how inclusion relates to your every day work. ✨ Commit to being an active bystander and challenging anti-LGBT+ language and behaviour. ✨ Find a way to lend your skills to the LGBT+ inclusion work happening in your organisation. Let's remember that our commitment to equality is not confined to a single month. It's an ongoing journey that requires collective action. Together, we can create a world where everyone is accepted, valued, and celebrated for who they are. #LGBTQ+ #InclusivityMatters #EqualityForAll 🌍🏳️🌈
