Hello, HR Trailblazers!

This isn’t just a time for rainbow logos and themed cupcakes (though we fully support baked goods of all kinds).

It’s a moment for us — as HR professionals — to really reflect on what inclusion means in the day-to-day life of our workplaces.

So this month, we’ve pulled together a few powerful reads to help us all do better — with heart, intention, and a bit of fun along the way.

Let’s jump in.

💡Every part of HR has a role to play in LGBTQ+ inclusion

Inclusion isn’t a checkbox for the DEI team — it’s a shared responsibility across every area of HR. Whether you're writing job ads, designing benefits, or managing employee data, your work sends a message: “You belong here” — or not.

L&D is no longer a perk—it’s a promise. It says: “We invest in you, not just your outputs.”

👉 What to try: Start small — check if your forms and systems allow for chosen names and pronouns. Little things matter.

🎉 A Pride Month Guide That Gets It Right

If you're looking for ways to mark Pride Month in a way that feels real (and not cringey), this guide’s a gem. It’s packed with practical ideas for inclusive celebrations, policy reviews, and comms that don't fall into the trap of performative allyship.

It’s not about being perfect — it’s about showing up, learning, and listening.

💡 Quick win: Invite LGBTQ team members to share their experiences (if they’re open to it), and listen without rushing to “fix.” Sometimes, being a good ally just means holding space.

✊ From Words to Action: What True Allyship Looks Like

We all know allyship is a buzzword — but what does it actually look like at work?

In one especially sharp take, the difference between "intent" and "impact" gets real. Companies often have the desire to be inclusive, but fall short in execution. That’s where HR steps in. It’s not just about putting out statements — it’s about ensuring LGBTQ voices are heard in hiring decisions, leadership development, and culture-building efforts.

🤔 Something to think about: Are we making space for LGBTQ voices in decision-making rooms? Inclusion isn’t just about inviting people in — it’s about changing the room itself.

🚀 Looking Ahead: Nurturing LGBTQ+ Inclusion in Our Evolving Work World

The way we work is truly blossoming and shifting, and with it, our approach to inclusion needs to gently grow too! As remote work becomes more and more a part of our everyday, and technology beautifully reshapes how we connect, there’s a real, heartwarming opportunity to rethink how we tenderly support our LGBTQIA+ employees in this digital-first world.

🌍Your Next Gentle Step: Take a moment to revisit your onboarding process and your digital communications. Are they truly inclusive by design? Do they warmly reflect the values you're genuinely proud of?
