Phyton Talent Advisors’ Post

As an LGBTQ+ person, I know that the culture of the company you work for strongly affects both your work experience and daily life. I am happy to say that Strata has warmly welcomed me since I started, and it’s wonderful to be part of a company that supports LGBTQ+ people. It’s very important to highlight that as a community, we need to occupy more spaces, and the construction industry is one of them. According to a survey conducted in 2016 by the Construction Leadership Council, the LGBTQ+ community represented only 2% of construction employees. Among those LGBTQ+ surveyed, around 39% reported facing routine discrimination from colleagues or clients. While some aspects of our society seem to be improving since then, much work remains to be done. Facing this kind of situation in the workplace, or in any space, is completely unacceptable, and the community needs allies to fight against discrimination and inequality. If you are not part of the community, please remember that your support and advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, dignity, and well-being are more than necessary, and your solidarity can make a big difference. 🏳️🌈✊

It was great to lead the Route team in this discussion yesterday covering the importance of representation for all groups in advertising and the value that this thinking gives to business. Some really good debate about the importance of language and context in society, and also in activation when considering things like key word strategy through to linear TV ad placement. Really important topics that are the backbone of planning on a daily basis.

Working where I can be and share my whole self is non-negotiable.

What is an LGBTQ+ ally? The aim of an ally, or advocate, is to step into the shoes of their LGBTQ+ colleagues, understand the challenges they face, and promote greater understanding of their needs and concerns. Many people within the construction industry are becoming allies to actively support LGBTQ+ colleagues, who may be feeling vulnerable or unable to truly be themselves at work. These people voluntarily choose to champion diversity and inclusion within construction, and lead initiatives to raise awareness of the issues members of the LGBTQ+ community experience on a daily basis. Allyship can lead to positive change and greater diversity and inclusion in the construction industry.

Celebrating Pride Month: A Lifelong Commitment to Equality Pride Month is a powerful reminder of the importance of equality, acceptance, and love for the LGBTQ+ community.

My ongoing pledge is to: ⭐️ Continue Advocating for Equality: Using my voice and platform to champion policies and initiatives that promote justice and fairness. ⭐️Foster Inclusive Spaces: Ensuring that every environment I influence is welcoming and safe for everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. ⭐️Celebrate Diversity: Honouring and celebrating the unique identities and contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals in all areas of life.

June has arrived, and with it comes a time for celebration, reflection, and unity as we honor #PRIDEMonth2024. This month, we join millions worldwide in recognizing the resilience, courage, and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community.    PRIDE Month is more than just a time for parades and festivities. It is a powerful reminder of the progress we've made and the work that still lies ahead. This year’s theme, “Embracing Diversity and Inclusivity,” encourages us to celebrate the unique identities and experiences that make up our vibrant community. Reflecting on the journey towards equality, we remember the pioneers who paved the way for LGBTQ+ rights. Their bravery and dedication have led to significant milestones, from the decriminalization of homosexuality to the legalization of same-sex marriage in many parts of the world. Yet, we recognize that there are still challenges to overcome and that our collective effort is essential in fostering a world where everyone is free to be their authentic selves. #pridemonth #PRIDE #loveislove #LGBTQ+ #rights #diversity #inclusivity

June is Pride Month, a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and stand in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ colleagues, friends, and loved ones. As allies, we have the opportunity to use our voices and actions to create a more inclusive, affirming, and equitable world for all. Whether it's educating ourselves, amplifying LGBTQ+ perspectives, advocating for policy change, or simply being a compassionate listener, there are many ways we can be active allies. Speak up against discrimination, use inclusive language, and challenge heteronormative assumptions. Attend Pride events, donate to LGBTQ+ organizations, and promote visibility of LGBTQ+ role models. Most importantly, lead with empathy, respect diverse identities, and make space for LGBTQ+ individuals to live authentically. Together, we can build a culture of acceptance, support, and pride - not just in June, but all year round. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #Allyship #InclusiveWorkplace #DiversityAndInclusion #SpeakUp #EmbraceIdentity #ChallengeAssumptions #EmpathyOverEgo #CelebratePride #SupportEquality #ActivistAllies #ShowUpForEachOther #ProgressivePerspectives #ChangeStartsWithUs
