📷 Cobalt’s ‘Out’ and About event last Friday organised by Kate Peers-McQueen and Ciarán Nicholl - but why do we celebrate pride events? Celebrating Pride events in corporate spaces is crucial to foster an inclusive and supportive work environment, and ensure our LGBTQIA+ employees feel valued and respected. We also aim to bring awareness and understanding among all staff, and foster allyship. At our event, we tried to give back to the community by supporting queer-owned small breweries and brands, purchasing products from Luv Jus and PROUD Beer. Trying to give back to the community can be hard if you don’t know where to go, but there is a company trying to fix this. ‘Everywhere is Queer’ is an app that has documented over 500 queer-run businesses across the globe. Fostering inclusivity and support doesn’t stop on the 30th of June, and within Cobalt we champion inclusivity everyday, not just internally but within our clients also. We speak to decision-makers across the real estate industry daily, and with the support of our Head of Inclusion, Megan Bond, our team are well-prepared to consult with our clients on inclusive hiring practices to ensure everyone entering a business can feel comfortable. #Pride #Pride2024 #CobaltCares

Today on World Braille Day, let's celebrate the language of touch that has been a beacon of light in the digital darkness for many!

As we celebrate Global Diversity Awareness Month, I’m reminded of the incredible power that diversity brings to our organization and communities.   At FORVIA, diversity is our driving force behind innovation, creativity, and growth. With 157,000 employees across more than 40 countries, FORVIA has thousands of team members’ whose unique perspectives contribute to our mission to pioneer technology for mobility experiences that matter to people.   We believe it’s everyone’s responsibility, regardless of their background, to foster an inclusive environment where every voice is heard, and every individual feels valued and respected.   Here are a few actions we can take to create a more inclusive and equitable world.   1. Listen: Actively listen to and learn different perspectives and experiences 2. Educate: Invest in diversity and inclusion training for yourself and your team 3. Empower: Create opportunities for underrepresented voices to take the lead 4. Celebrate: Recognize and celebrate the unique qualities that make us all special #FORVIAproud #GlobalDiversityAwarenssMonth #DiveristyEquityandInclusion #Inclusivity 

At Fortrea, we're committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. We kicked off Pride celebrations with a powerful discussion on intersectionality within the LGBTQIA+ community. Hosted by our PRIDE, PULSE, and WEN Global Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), the forum explored the often-uncomfortable topic of what it means to be both Black and LGBTQIA+. By having open and honest conversations about these experiences, we aim to: • Build understanding: We believe fostering empathy across identities strengthens our community. • Create a safer platform: When we discuss challenging topics, we can create a more inclusive space for all. • Develop strong allyship: True allyship requires understanding the unique experiences of others. We're grateful to our guest speaker, Paige J. Gardner, PhD, Assistant Dean for Graduate Student Success, College of Education at Seattle University, along with the employees who shared their lived experiences. Their stories will inspire further conversations and a more inclusive workplace for everyone. https://lnkd.in/g4Tva-4s #PrideMonth #Intersectionality #DiversityandInclusion #Fortrea

🌟 Embracing Diversity, Fostering Inclusivity 🌟 Diversity isn't just about representation – it's about creating a culture where every voice is heard, every perspective is valued, and every individual feels a sense of belonging. So, let's start a conversation: 1. How do you champion inclusivity in your organization or community? 2. What steps can we take to create more inclusive environments where everyone can thrive? The faculty at WRK wants to hear your thoughts. Let’s inspire each other to build a more inclusive workplace! #inclusivity #dei #togetherwerise #letsdowrk

#Inclusion is what makes Infovista genuinely unique. Our organization is a perfect blend of different colors, backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives, and this rich tapestry makes us stronger and more resilient. Check this video featuring some of my Infovista colleagues. They come from diverse origins, genders, ages, and backgrounds, but they all share one message: a genuine wish for a happy Global Inclusion Day. And you, what would the language you'd use to say "Happy inclusion day?"

This picture is me; after returning from the Pride Parade in Stockholm, where I joined #teamEricsson. This marks my third year participating—twice in Stockholm and once in Dallas (USA) —and every experience has reinforced my commitment to promoting equality and inclusion. ❓ 💡 But beyond the parades and events, the real question is: Are we ready to champion equality in our everyday actions? Supporting equality isn't just about showing up for special dates, months, or events. It’s about the intentional choices we make when no one is watching: - Diversity in Meetings: Are we ensuring a balanced representation when preparing for discussions? - Speaking Up: Do we use our voice to challenge inequality whenever we encounter it? - Leadership Accountability: Are we truly committed to providing equal career opportunities to everyone? I don't want to sound boring or provocative! These are calls to action. For those of us in leadership, it's especially crucial to reflect on how we can foster high-performing teams by promoting diversity, inclusion, and equality—not just in words but through consistent, everyday actions. Let’s build a workplace where equality isn’t the exception but the norm. Together, we can make a difference that lasts far beyond the parade route. #diversity #inclusion #equality #leadership

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a powerful reminder to fight for freedom and equality. At Five to Flow®, we believe in building inclusive environments where everyone feels a sense of belonging. This is about doing what’s right—and it unlocks the full potential of your team. Did you know that when employees feel they belong, companies see a 50% drop in turnover and a 56% boost in job performance (Harvard Business Review, 2019)? Fostering a sense of belonging leads to remarkable benefits for both individuals and organizations. The path forward is clear. What will be your next step?

Equity and inclusion is always front of my mind in my daily life, no more so than during Pride month. But what can you do when Pride Month is over? Turns out, there is a lot and you don't have to wait another 11 months to focus on #Pride and #Inclusion ☺️ As an ally, I've looked at how all of us can take meaningful actions to create an inclusive environment (anywhere, not just the workplace): 📖 Educate yourself on LGBTQI+ issues. 🗣️ Speak up against discrimination. ♥️ Use inclusive language. 🏳️🌈 Support LGBTQI+ initiatives. 📣 Be visible and vocal in your support. 👂 Listen and offer support. 🛡️ Promote a safe and inclusive workplace At Dimply, we recently reflected on our internal policies and introduced enhanced Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Policy, Social Value Policy, and "The One Dimply Way."
