Diversity and inclusion should be celebrated every day. We're celebrating Pride Month by wholeheartedly supporting the LGBTQ+ community's inclusion within the construction industry as well as supporting a fully inclusive and diverse workplace. Toolbox talks on the matter are essential. Speaking about inclusion in the workplace is critical for safe work environments, particularly for the LGBTQ+ community. Toolbox talks are a perfect opportunity to address this with persons at all levels of the company, and we have a few suggestions for what to talk about: ❤️ The history of Pride Month and why it's celebrated; 💛 An introduction and overview of appropriate and desired pronouns; 💚 Your company's dedication to the inclusion of all individuals; 💙 Your company's no-tolerance policy; and 💜 Resources for employees to learn more and/or access support. How are you celebrating Pride Month? #MBEX #PrideMonth #LGBTQ+ #BuildingEqually #EqualityForAll #ConstructionIndustry #LoveIsLove

As most of us know, June is Pride month, a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and honor the progress that has been made towards equality and inclusion. It is also a time to reflect on the work that still needs to be done to ensure that everyone feels accepted and supported for who they are. As we celebrate queerness this month, let's also take the opportunity to think about how we can promote diversity and inclusion in our workplaces and communities. Here are a few ideas to get started: 1. Host a virtual Pride event: Organize a virtual celebration with guest speakers, workshops, and activities that promote understanding and acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals. 2. Educate yourself and others: Take the time to learn about the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals and the issues they face. Share what you learn with others to promote understanding and empathy. 3. Support LGBTQ+ organizations: Donate to or volunteer with organizations that support LGBTQ+ rights and provide resources for the community. 4. Advocate for LGBTQ+ rights: Use your platform to speak out against discrimination and advocate for policies that promote equality and inclusion. 5. Create a safe and inclusive environment: Ensure that your workplace or community is a safe and welcoming space for LGBTQ+ individuals by implementing policies that support diversity and inclusion. Let's use Pride month as a time to celebrate queerness and recommit ourselves to creating a more inclusive and accepting world for all. #PrideMonth🏳️🌈 #DiversityandInclusion #CelebrateQueerness

As we comes towards the middle of #LGBTQplus Pride Month, it's essential to recognize the profound significance of this celebration not just within the LGBTQ+ community but for society as a whole. Pride Month is a time to honor the struggles, victories, and ongoing fight for equality and acceptance. But it's also a reminder of the crucial role diversity, equity, and inclusion (#DEI) play in advancing democratic ideals. Inclusive societies are built on the foundation of respecting and celebrating differences. By embracing diversity in all its forms, we foster environments where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to contribute. This inclusivity is fundamental to the health and progress of democracy. As we commemorate Pride Month, let's recommit ourselves to promoting DEI in our workplaces, communities, and institutions. Let's stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community and reaffirm our dedication to creating a world where everyone can live authentically and without fear of discrimination. For those seeking to learn more about LGBTQ+ issues, resources, and how to support the cause, there are numerous avenues available. Organizations like the Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, and The Trevor Project offer valuable information, support, and advocacy initiatives. Additionally, universities, libraries, and community centers often host events and provide resources to promote understanding and allyship. Let's use this month as an opportunity to educate ourselves, advocate for change, and celebrate the beautiful diversity of the human experience. Together, we can build a more inclusive and equitable world for all. #PrideMonth #DEI #Equality #HumanRights #LGBTQ+ #Inclusion

Rainbow Washing Pride Month #June As we step into June, the month dedicated to celebrating #Pride, it’s important to reflect on how we genuinely support the #LGBTQ+ community. While many companies will change their logos to rainbow colors, we must ask ourselves: Are they celebrating Pride every day, or is it just for show? Tips to Identify Rainbow Washing Initiatives: 1. Temporary Branding Changes: - Look out for companies that change their logos and branding to rainbow colors only during Pride Month but fail to make long-term commitments to supporting the LGBTQ+ community. 2. Lack of Internal Policies: - Be wary of businesses that promote Pride externally but do not have inclusive policies, such as non-discrimination policies, for their employees. 3. No Tangible Support: - Identify companies that use Pride imagery in their marketing but do not donate to LGBTQ+ causes or support LGBTQ+ organisations. 4. Inconsistent Advocacy: - Notice brands that show support during Pride Month but remain silent or support anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and politicians the rest of the year. 5. Superficial Representation: - Watch for campaigns that feature token LGBTQ+ individuals without truly engaging with the community or understanding their issues. 6. Employee Treatment: - Consider the history of companies regarding their treatment of LGBTQ+ employees, despite their public Pride campaigns. 7. Lack of Accountability: - Be mindful of businesses that do not hold themselves accountable for past actions or fail to show transparency in their efforts to support the LGBTQ+ community. True allyship means advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion all year round. #PrideMonth #RainbowWashing #LGBTQ #Inclusion #Equality #Allyship
