🌈 Today, I had the honor of celebrating LGBTQ Pride Month with my colleagues in India. Alongside two other amazing panelists and colleagues, we shared our experiences as OUT individuals and allies. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1️⃣ Authenticity at Work: Being OUT at work is crucial for building genuine relationships and feeling fully engaged. Relationships are fundamental to being professionally successful. 2️⃣ Even allies need to come OUT: Being visible, even if it's in simple ways like adding pronouns to email signatures or putting a sticker on their laptop, go a LONG WAY to creating a sense of comfort for LGBTQ teammates. 3️⃣ Creating Safe Spaces: For many, the workplace is the safest environment to express their true selves. Allies play a vital role in providing support and acceptance, which can make a significant difference in people's lives. 📌 THE POINT IS: By building an inclusive environment, we help ensure everyone feels comfortable and can focus on crushing career goals! 📸 Photo taken in Chennai Shilpa Banerjee , Nera Schwartz #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #Inclusion #Diversity #WorkplaceCulture #Allyship #India #BankofAmerica
