Deloitte’s 2023 Global LGBT+ Inclusion @ Work Survey shows there is some work to do to advance workplace inclusion. As leaders, it’s important to assume a psychologicallyinformed perspective in the workplace and strive to cultivate a compassionate and trusted culture that empowers individuals to feel heard, valued, and accepted. Through this approach, we can help foster teams where innovation, creativity, and resilience thrive. 💚🌈   While #PrideMonth has ended, I encourage everyone to keep the conversation around #PsychologicalHealth and #Allyship going every day. #ThrivingTogether   Read the full report with data-driven insights into how organizations can enhance their LGBTQ+ inclusion efforts, below 👇 https://deloi.tt/3wZxYOE

Our 2024 EY US #LGBTQ+ Workplace Barometer reminds us that inclusivity is not just a policy but a practice that requires continuous effort and genuine commitment. 97% of LGBTQ+ employees at highly inclusive workplaces plan to stay another year, compared to just 38% in less inclusive environments. For Fortune 500 companies, improving LGBTQ+ retention by 5% could save nearly $4.2 million in turnover costs. It's through listening, understanding, and implementing targeted strategies that we can build organizations that not only attract but also retain the brightest talents. https://lnkd.in/emi-VSbm #ProudtoBelong #BetterWorkingWorld

In the modern workplace, fostering an inclusive environment goes beyond policies and procedures—it begins with language. Acknowledging and respecting individuals' pronouns is a simple yet powerful way to affirm their identities and create a culture of respect and acceptance. Whether it's he/him, she/her, they/them, or something else entirely, each pronoun carries significance and deserves recognition. By normalizing the practice of sharing and using pronouns in introductions, email signatures, and meetings, we signal our commitment to inclusivity and demonstrate our respect for the diverse identities within our teams. This small but meaningful gesture can make a world of difference for LGBTQ+ individuals, who too often face discrimination and erasure in professional settings. As we strive to build workplaces where everyone feels valued and seen, let's remember the power of pronouns in fostering inclusivity and belonging. Together, let's create environments where individuals can bring their whole selves to work and thrive as their authentic selves. #Inclusion #Diversity #PronounsMatter

EY's 2024 LGBTQ+ Workplace Barometer highlights a pressing need for action in #inclusivity, emphasizing the unique needs of the Gen Z LGBTQ+ workforce. For Fortune 500 companies, just a 5% boost in LGBTQ+ retention could mean saving $4.2 million annually in turnover costs. With Gen Z's significant LGBTQ+ identification and differing views on inclusivity, tailored DEI strategies are crucial. https://bit.ly/3TkbGhE #DEI #FutureOfWork

Diversity is key to any successful business. By embracing LGBTQ+ diversity, we not only create an inclusive environment, but also boost our profitability and productivity. Let's implement strategies for a more inclusive workplace today. #Diversity #Inclusion #LGBTQ+ #Productivity #Success

With a changing U.S. workforce that now includes nearly 14 million #LGBTQ+ adults, the need for inclusivity becomes more critical, especially with Gen Z's influence. Findings from our new EY US 2024 LGBTQ+ Workplace Barometer highlight the strategic benefit of fostering an inclusive environment—linking it directly to attracting and retaining top talent. The survey also emphasizes the challenges faced by racially and ethnically diverse LGBTQ+ employees, signaling the need for a thoughtful, intersectional approach to diversity. https://lnkd.in/etjQW4Qw #BetterWorkingWorld 

Beyond ethical considerations, creating an inclusive workplace for Gen Z LGBTQ+ employees turns out to be a smart investment. Anticipating that the Gen Z LGBTQ+ talent pool in the U.S. will surpass 10 million individuals within the next decade, getting it right could translate into annual savings of nearly $4.2 billion. Impressing numbers that once again remind everybody of the tremendous value of DEI. #Inclusion #BetterWorkingWorld

Did you know that one in five people feel that being LGBTQ+ limits their job opportunities? 🌈 Stonewall, the key charity which provides information, support and guidance on LGBTQ+ inclusion, say LGBTQ+ people may not have the same opportunity to thrive as others. In fact, over a third of LGBTQ+ people feel they need to hide who they are at work. This LGBT History Month, workplaces need to make changes. Inclusivity and diversity at work are paramount to success and growth in the workplace. How? Well, teams made up of people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives are more innovative, creative, and productive. 🎨 Inclusive cultures where all employees feel welcomed, valued, and able to contribute their unique talents lead to higher employee engagement, satisfaction, and retention. 🤝 Visit Stonewall to find out more.
