WE ARE UMi’s Post

Inclusion is like a muscle. The more you use it the stronger it gets, and the stronger you can get. Over time if you lift enough, you find yourself capable of lifting all kinds of things. Here on LinkedIn I “lift” disability inclusion and I follow others who do the same. Collectively we move our frontiers by having an open mind, exploring, challenging assumptions & biases, learning, and sharing. We also practice and promote allyship. Nothing revolutionary there. In fact, advocates for civil rights, gender equality, and other flavors of inclusion are doing the same thing for their communities. And that’s my point – we are doing much the same thing. When one of us does better, we all do better. That’s why I am celebrating today! Fidelity recently received an Equality100 score for being a leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion. The ground broken over the past few decades on LGBTQ+ Inclusion in the workplace has made other forms of inclusion more intuitive. In fact, I believe disability inclusion would not be where we are today without the pioneering efforts and growing pains of decades of LGBTQ+ inclusion. So thank you LGBTQ+ inclusionists for your decades of leadership and thank you Fidelity Investments for prioritizing authentic #inclusion.

🏳️🌈 As the month long celebration of LGBT History Month comes to a close, it's a pivotal time to spotlight the transformative power of LGBT inclusion in the business world. 🙌 Diversity isn't just about ticking boxes - it's about enriching our workplaces with varied perspectives and experiences that drive innovation and success. From my own experiences as a proud gay man and with influential mentors like the Rt Hon. Justine Greening and Nick Forbes CBE, the message for me is clear: visibility and representation at all levels matter. It's about affirming that success is achievable, regardless of who you are or who you love. 🤝 Purpose-led employers are at the forefront of this change, recognising that true pride extends beyond a month-long celebration. It's woven into the fabric of their culture, driving employee engagement, satisfaction, and loyalty. But more than that, it's about active commitment—listening, adapting, and ensuring every voice not only is heard but leads to meaningful action. 💪 Our diversity is our strength, and it's time we fully leverage it to break down barriers and foster an inclusive, equitable future for all. 🗞 More thoughts in my latest blog for Fit For Purpose here: https://lnkd.in/eJ2ikSsX #LGBTHistoryMonth #DiversityAndInclusion #PrideInBusiness #AuthenticSelves #PurposeLed

2023 completed my first full year at #Zoetis. For most of us we think about how our work impacts the company and some times forget to recognize how the company impacts us. #zoetis has made a positive impact on me. From our executive leadership that walks the talk when it comes to colleague development to my team members that teach me daily, I am #zoetisproud. #manymoretocome

The CEI rates companies on detailed criteria in four central pillars: non-discrimination policies across business entities, equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families, an inclusive culture, and corporate social responsibility.
