Words matter! Embracing inclusive language isn't just about being politically correct; it's a crucial step toward creating a more respectful, understanding, and supportive workplace. Think of it as updating outdated beliefs—like realizing apples won't keep the doctor away. In the same way, our language needs an update to respect diverse experiences and perspectives. Setting an example, PI has transformed reports to be gender-neutral, integrated pronouns, and even revised product terms to be more inclusive. These steps aren't just about words; they've enhanced our workplace culture, boosting employee engagement and fostering a stronger sense of belonging. What steps has your organisation taken in DEIB? #deib #inclusivelanguage #celebratediversity #fosterinclusion #diversityandinclusion #workplaceculture #peopleforsuccess 🚀✨

The just-released 2023 Human Rights Campaign "Equality Rising: LGBTQ+ Workers and the Road Ahead" report highlights the state of the workplace for LGBTQ+ workers. Key findings: 💡84% of LGBTQ+ workers are out to at least one person in their current job-a substantial increase from 54% in 2018. 💡 Yet 51% of LGBTQ+ workers have withheld their identity at at least one job due to privacy concerns and 40% have done so due to fear of being stigmatized or facing violence on the job. 💡More than 25% of LGBTQ+ workers and more than a third of transgender and non-binary workers have left a job as a result of working in an environment that was not accepting of LGBTQ+ people. 💡In line with myriad previous studies, this new research finds that among LGBTQ+ employees, employees of color and transgender and non-binary employees continue to have worse outcomes on a broad range of workplace measures. The great news is that the "out at work" gap is rapidly narrowing, with similar outness at work levels across race/ethnicity. With the HRC declaring a National State of Emergency for LGBTQ+ people in the U.S. for the first time in history this year, we are at an inflection point for organizations prioritizing creating safety and inclusive cultures for 2SLGBTQPIA+ employees. Creating truly 2SLGBTQPIA+-inclusive cultures should be a priority for all organizations. The full report contains practical, evidence-based action items for employees and leaders at all levels. We all have a part to play in creating greater inclusivity and belonging and will all reap the benefits when we do. #LGBT #LGBTQ #Equality #DiversityAndInclusion #OrganizationalCulture #InclusiveLeadership #InclusiveWorkplace

Often, the influence of corporations in shaping societal norms, particularly regarding LGBTQ+ rights, is underappreciated. ❓ Why does inclusivity matter? Creating an inclusive workplace isn't just about fairness; it's a business imperative. Inclusive environments foster more engaged, loyal employees. In today's climate, where LGBTQ+ individuals face challenges from various societal quarters, providing a safe and supportive work environment can have profoundly positive impacts, sometimes even life-saving. 📄 So what’s the business case? Consider this - a recent study shows that 28% of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ+. To attract and retain top talent from this generation, embracing LGBTQ+ inclusivity isn't optional; it's essential. This means promoting practices like pronoun respect, gender-neutral facilities, and inclusive policies covering parental leave and healthcare, including transition-related care. 🏢 A safe and welcoming workplace and beyond. Simply creating a safe, welcoming workplace for all is a significant achievement. Ensuring that everyone feels safe and seen during their working hours, regardless of their identity. When inclusivity becomes a workplace norm, it cascades into wider society, challenging and changing outdated attitudes and practices. Imagine if corporations refused to attend events in states with discriminatory laws against LGBTQ+ people (I’m looking at you, Florida). Such moves could catalyze significant legislative changes. Corporations can extend their influence further - from inclusive advertising to supporting LGBTQ+ organizations nationally and locally. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ By championing inclusivity, we don't just create better workplaces; we pave the way for a more inclusive society. Let's lead this change together. #LGBTQHistory #LGBTQ+ #CorporateResponsibility #ChampionInclusivity

Further studies have also shown that LGBTQ+ supportive policies can: - Increase job satisfaction: Employees are 56% less likely to leave their job if they feel their company supports LGBTQ+ policies (Human Rights Campaign, 2023). - Enhance creativity and innovation: According to Forbes, companies that support LGBTQ+ inclusivity report a 30% increase in creativity and innovation. - Increase health and reduce sickness/absence levels: Inclusive policies reduce health-related employee absences by 41% (McKinsey & Company, 2023). - Reduce discrimination at work: Workplaces with strong LGBTQ+ policies see a reduction in reported discrimination. - Increase your customer base and recruitment drive: Consumers and potential employees are more likely to support companies that advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion. - Improve coworker relationships: Positive coworker relationships increase in inclusive environments. - Encourage greater disclosure in the workplace: There is a 25% increase in employees willing to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in inclusive workplaces (Harvard Business Review, 2023).
