Celebrating Diversity: Creating an Inclusive Workplace for Pride Month and Beyond

10/06/24

Happy LGBT+ Pride Month from Eternal Engagements! As we commemorate the Stonewall riots and honor the incredible contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals to our world, we’re proud to reaffirm our commitment to building a workplace that celebrates diversity and fosters inclusion.

At Eternal Engagements, we understand that being an LGBTQ+ ally and an inclusive employer goes beyond simply switching on a rainbow logo for Pride Month. It’s about living and breathing these values all year round. If inclusivity is at the heart of your foundation, you don’t need to change your logo for Pride Month; it’s ingrained in everything you do.

Building a Foundation of Inclusion:

Develop and implement an Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Policy or a more specific LGBTQ+ friendly workplace policy: Our employment law experts can guide you in crafting a policy tailored to your company’s needs that promotes non-discrimination and respect for all employees, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

 

Diversity and Inclusion Training: Access our training platform through the app, which offers Equality, Diversity & Inclusion training as part of over 150+ courses. These courses empower your team to foster understanding and promote inclusivity among colleagues.

Sending the Right Signals:

Advertise on LGBTQ+ Job Boards: Our app provides access to LGBTQ+ specific job boards, allowing you to directly reach interested candidates and showcase your inclusivity efforts.

Be Open on Our Employer Brand: Showcase your commitment to diversity and inclusion by including LGBTQ+ employees in company communications and supporting LGBTQ+ causes.

 

Retention Through Ongoing Commitment:

Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Our app offers access to EAP for mental health support, providing resources and assistance to all employees facing mental health challenges including LGBTQ+ specific issues.

 

Incident Reporting: Employees can use our app to report any issues they don’t feel confident reporting to their line manager, directly to HR. This allows for feedback from employees on their experiences, identifying areas for improvement, and fostering a culture of open communication.

 

As we celebrate Pride Month, let’s continue to work together to ensure equality and acceptance for all. Together, we can build a more inclusive and supportive workplace where everyone can thrive.
