Embracing Authentic Leadership and Year-Round LGBTQ+ Support
In a world where diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are more than just buzzwords, staying ahead of the curve is essential. Each week, we bring you the latest trends, stories and resources that are shaping the landscape of DEI in the workplace.
As we approach the end of Pride Month, we wanted to remind organizations how important it is to show support and allyship for members of the LGBTQ+ community not just one month out of the year, but year-round.

Celebrating Pride Every Day
In this Fair360 Insights video, Ceah Justice, Head of Global Employee Engagement at RTX, shared a powerful message about the importance of authenticity as a leader in the workplace.
"A lot of times sitting in this seat, we tend to shy away from those personal things about us. But those personal things are what builds trust. I show my pride every single day at work by making sure I show up as authentic as I possibly can."
Watch the video to hear more from Justice, EY's Ken Bouyer, Marriott International's Alyssa Palaganas and Moody's Vanessa Youngs.
In addition to the points mentioned in the video, there are several other ways in which organizations can support the LGBTQ+ community in the workforce outside of Pride Month.
Inclusive Leadership: Engage leaders who actively support LGBTQ+ inclusion and understand what Pride means to individuals within the organization.
Diverse Representation: Ensure representation of LGBTQ+ individuals in leadership and decision-making roles to reflect a commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Employee Engagement: Create programs that involve employees at all levels, such as global employee engagement initiatives that celebrate Pride and foster an inclusive culture.
Recruitment Practices: Implement DEI recruiting strategies to attract a diverse workforce, including LGBTQ+ talent.
Supportive Policies: Review and update company policies to ensure they are inclusive and equitable, providing support for LGBTQ+ employees.
