PRIDE INCLUSIVE WORKPLACE
AN INCLUSIVE WORKPLACE
How to make your workplace and colleagues more inclusive. Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
FOUR Order Stonewall resources including posters, research and reports to have in your workplace.
ONE Things move that fast that many people fear referring to someone incorrectly, brush up on terminology so you can talk about the issues confidently.
FIVE Set up an LGBT staff network group (or LGBT + Allies/ Friends group).
TWO Use a Come Out For LGBT mug or wear rainbow lanyards to show your support. THREE Call out offensive, negative or abusive language and ‘banter’ when you hear it. GNI MAG [46]
SIX Organise a lunch and learn about LGBT history, stories or experiences. SEVEN Open up space to talk – you could mention LGBT issues you’ve seen in the media and get some real conversations started.
EIGHT Work with your HR department to make sure their policies and procedures cover diversity, inclusion, rights and protections for LGBT employees. NINE Celebrate Pride, LGBT History Month or other awareness days and campaigns to show support. TEN Volunteer/Fund raise or become an advocate for a local LGBTQI+ charity or organisation.
