Important to think of the future of business. More important for businesses to think of our communities growth within their market!

June is Pride Month and as such a great opportunity to remind employers of their responsibilities to their LGBTQ+ employees, and that's exactly it, a reminder, an opportunity for awareness for something you should be doing 👏 all 👏 the 👏 time! And something you should have in place is an LGBTQ+ Policy. " Aaah but we don't have any LGBTQ employees" we hear you say." ❌ You still need one. You may hire in the future and also how do you know? they may not have informed you (as is their right) So, where to get started? Check out our advice below and get in touch if you need further support with getting your policy in place. #EZHR #LGBTQ+Policy #HRSupport 

It is not too late to register for TOMORROW's event (9 a.m. PST / 11 a.m. EST) for the "State of the Union of LGBTQ+ Corporate Directors Representation," in which I will discuss with Richard Socarides where we are, what we can do and what we learned in the past year. We will also cover the current pressure on the corporate world around Pride 2023 and how it affects LGBTQ+ representation efforts. Association of LGBTQ+ Corporate Directors #Governance #BoardDiversity Here is the link: https://lnkd.in/eFyaq4r6

Today, Ari Shaw, Ph.D. represented The Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law on a panel at the Milken Institute Global Conferenece on The Role of Companies for LGBTQ+ Rights. We are beyond grateful to Briland Graves, Brian Patrick Fano Carandang, and Richard Ditizio for making this important conversation come to life. “In the United States alone, nearly 14 million adults identify as LGBTQ+. The LGBTQ+ community currently wields $1 trillion in spending power—a metric that is only expected to grow. As the community becomes increasingly represented in employee and consumer bases alike, what role should corporations play in LGBTQ+ rights? How does it inform how and when companies make business decisions?” You can watch the whole panel here: https://lnkd.in/gBnrUVS6 #MIGLOBAL

Pride Month is coming up across the world and to help your company celebrate authentically, we asked DEI consultant Natania Malin Gazek to put together a resource to help companies avoid performative allyship. They recommend asking yourself these questions: How is your company supporting your current and future LBGTQ+ employees? How are LGBTQ+ people involved in deciding how the company will celebrate Pride? What is your company’s relationship with LGBTQ+ rights and the LGBTQ+ community? Answering and actioning these questions can help your company celebrate pride authentically and avoid performative allyship.

"Understanding comes not from assumptions but from real experiences. 🌈 Katie once believed that statistics explained the LGBTQ+ community, but true insight comes from listening to their lived experiences. Let's break down stereotypes and embrace understanding. 💪🏽❤️" #LivedExperience #LGBTQCommunity #BreakStereotypes #LoveIsLove #Understanding #Equality #Inclusion #ListenToUnderstand #LGBTQSupport #DiversityAndInclusion #Pride #LGBTQLove
