Pride month has ended. However, genuine LGBT+ inclusion requires a year-round commitment, not a month-long observance to only check a box. Data shows there has been significant progress, but many challenges remain. For example, A 2021 study by the Williams Institute found that 46% of LGBT at work remain closeted, fearing discrimination or career setbacks. So, despite the advancements, there’s still a critical need for meaningful support throughout the year. ⭐Here is a summary of key points to include in LGBT+ Inclusion Policies. Learn more in our latest blog post 👉https://bit.ly/3RQdcIp Creating an inclusive workplace requires sustained effort, leadership buy-in, and a genuine desire to create an environment where all your employees can be no one but themselves.

Its National Inclusion Week (created by Inclusive Employers) and this year's theme is Impact Matters. Here at Reed, members of our Inclusion Working Groups are taking the week to look at the impact our work to date has had so far, as well as the impact we aim to have in the year ahead. As one of our LGBTQ+ Ambassadors I have been able to see the impact of our work in how it affects our co-members on a day-to-day basis. This can be seen nowhere more clearly than in the changes we have made for our trans and non-binary co-members. Over the past few years, we have created, as well as refined and updated a transitioning at work policy, providing support and guidance for transitioning co-members as well as their managers and teams. We have updated all of our policies to remove gendered language wherever possible and made sure to explicitly include co-members of all genders, ensuring we do not unintentionally exclude. I have seen the impact of this in the success of trans co-members who have come into their own both personally and professionally, particularly over the past year, in no small part due to being supported at work. This very direct and personal impact is probably my proudest achievement as a member of our working groups. #ImpactMatters #LifeAtReed #LGBTQ+ #NationalInclusionWeek
