PRIDE Guide
June is PRIDE month, a time to celebrate all people of all genders and sexual orientations. PRIDE stands for ‘Promote Respect, Inclusion and Dignity for Everyone’. As an employer you should already be promoting respect, inclusion and dignity for everyone. Celebrating PRIDE in the workplace is a great way to promote awareness and equality within the company as well as increasing understanding of the issues faced by those in the LGBTQ+ community, not just in June but everyday of the year.
Celebrating PRIDE in the workplace also gives you a chance to educate and promote pro-equality legislation and regulations. If your company is sending a message of diversity and inclusion to the masses, it’s important to make sure the company’s practices and core values are inclusive of every employee’s needs so they’re treated equally no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity.
