June is Pride Month–a time to celebrate the resilience of the LGBTQ+ community and their progress in pursuit of equality and acceptance. It’s a time for reflection, education, and connection. Manchester Industries remains an ally and offers a supportive workplace where all employees feel safe, valued, and included. One simple way we can create a more accepting workplace is by adding pronouns to email signatures. Pronouns are how we identify ourselves apart from our names. Sharing your pronouns first can set a norm and encourage others to do the same. We don’t just talk about our commitment to inclusion, we choose to model it. #PrideMonth #DiversityAndInclusion

Earlier this year, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation released a groundbreaking report detailing steps for businesses to go beyond workplace inclusion and become true allies in action. It's not just about policies; it's about actively supporting and uplifting LGBTQ+ communities. Let's turn words into actions and make a meaningful impact together. #HBAimpact #pridemonth #genderequality #healthcare https://ow.ly/YVmH50S0jRz

#PrideMonth has marked an excellent time for me to personally reflect on the actions I can take each day to foster an inclusive and supportive environment on my teams and with my clients. This article featuring ten of my colleagues is a helpful guide.

🌈 Embracing Allyship for a More Inclusive World 🌎 In today's interconnected society, allyship is more than just a term — it's a pathway to understanding, supporting, and empowering the diverse voices around us. As Allies, we have the power to foster an environment of inclusivity, respect, and equality. Whether it's by educating ourselves, listening to experiences different from our own, or speaking out against injustice, every action counts. For those looking to take a step further in their journey of Allyship, consider supporting LGBTQ+ businesses and creators. A great place to start is [My Pride Shop](https://myprideshop.com/), where you can find a range of products that celebrate pride and diversity. By choosing to support businesses like these, we not only contribute to the economic empowerment of the LGBTQ+ community, but also embrace the values of love, acceptance, and unity. Let's all strive to be Allies in every sense of the word. Together, we can make a world of difference. 💼🌈 #Allyship #Inclusivity #SupportLGBTQBusinesses #DiversityMakesTheWorldGoRound

The journey towards LGBTQ+ justice, equality, and inclusion, has never been easy. We’ve faced countless challenges, naysayers, and setbacks. But, with the support of our allies, we’ve persevered.  Over the last two decades, we’ve achieved what once seemed impossible: workplace protections, marriage equality, greater representation across every major platform, and a shift in hearts and minds towards greater acceptance and inclusion of our community. As we celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month, it’s important we remember our progress and our accomplishments. They remind us how strong our community can be and renew us for the important work ahead.    And let’s always remember that together, we’re powerful. Together, we can build a future centered on inclusion and belonging. Together, no one can stop us.  #LGBTQHistoryMonth

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
