As we celebrate Pride Month, I’ve been reflecting on why diversity and inclusion in the workplace remain such important topics and what they mean to me personally.   I believe that one of the strongest biases that we need to overcome is the “like-me” bias, to ensure that we surround ourselves with different perspectives and experiences. Ensuring diversity at the forefront means giving everyone equal opportunity regardless of their gender, background, sexual orientation - which is fair and results in hiring and promoting the very best people. It’s also been proven over and over again (e.g., https://lnkd.in/eECSZDXX) that a diverse team outperforms an homogeneous one, all other things equal. So, promoting diversity means forming a stronger, better performing team…and inclusion? We should start from inclusion. Promoting diversity in a non-inclusive environment is a recipe for higher attrition at best and harassment at worst. That’s why I’m proud that being part of ABB is to be part of an organization committed to supporting LGBTQ communities by creating an inclusive environment that brings people together. It’s our duty to foster a sense of belonging so that our colleagues can bring their authentic selves to work every day. There is still work to be done but I remain committed today and every day to ensuring that everyone can #ComeAsYouAre - https://lnkd.in/ekp5nSGH #PrideMonth #Pride2024 #Diversity #Inclusion #LGBTTQ #Equality #ABB #ProcessIndusties #PulpandPaper

✅Love knows no boundaries, and neither should your relationship. Inclusion in your connection means not only accepting but wholeheartedly celebrating each other’s unique perspectives and backgrounds. It’s the vibrant diversity that enriches your love. Embrace the beautiful tapestry of your connection, woven with the threads of individuality. By doing so, you foster a loving partnership that never ceases to expand. Its one of the ways we believe in embodying our commitment to the core value of inclusion. #relationshipadvice #relationshiptips #relationship101

As todya we celebrate the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, we are reminded of the diversity and unity that defines our world. Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the harbinger of new beginnings, symbolizes the essence of inclusivity and harmony. We are a tapestry of cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds that enrich our collective human experience. Embracing this diversity and recognizing the strength it brings is essential in our global community. Ganesh Chaturthi teaches us that unity is born out of diversity. It's a reminder that when people from different walks of life come together, they create something beautiful and harmonious. In the workplace, diversity fosters innovation and creativity, driving us towards shared goals. This celebration also encourages us to remove the obstacles that hinder our progress toward a more inclusive and equitable world. It's a call to action to break down barriers, challenge biases, and create environments where everyone's voices are heard and valued. As we immerse ourselves in the festivities of Ganesh Chaturthi, let's carry forward its message of diversity, inclusion, and unity. May we continue to celebrate our differences and work together to overcome obstacles, just as Lord Ganesha does. Wishing everyone a joyous and inclusive Ganesh Chaturthi! 🌟🙏 #GaneshChaturthi #DiversityandInclusion #Unity #Inclusivity #Harmony

Celebrating Pride: A Journey of Joy and Resistance In the tapestry of life’s challenges, the very act of existing becomes a powerful form of resistance. It’s a testament to our resilience and an inspiration for change. This Pride Month let’s embrace the concept that radical joy transcends mere emotion. It’s an anthem for the undaunted spirits who flourish in the face of adversity, a tribute to the ineffable beauty that surrounds us. Joy is a universal language, yet it speaks to each of us in a profoundly personal way. It’s a reminder that our happiness is both shared and singular, and it’s our collective responsibility to foster it in every corner of the world. As we celebrate Pride, let’s remember that our existence is not just an act of defiance—it’s a spark that ignites transformation. Let’s unite in spreading joy, not just as a feeling, but as a movement that honors the beauty in diversity and the strength in unity. #PrideMonth #JoyInResistance #UnityInDiversity #RadicalJoy 🌈

- Kindness and humility are two virtues that can enhance our interactions with others and enrich the fabric of our communities. - Acts of kindness help us extend warmth and compassion to those around us, which can build connections that transcend barriers and differences. - It could be as simple as a smile, a listening ear, or a helping hand, and these gestures have the power to uplift spirits and brighten even the darkest days. - Meanwhile, humility keeps us grounded, reminding us of our shared humanity and the value of every individual's perspective. - It encourages us to approach life with an open mind and a willingness to learn from others, recognizing that true strength lies not in arrogance, but in the ability to admit our shortcomings and grow from them. - When we combine kindness and humility, they create a ripple effect of positivity, inspiring others to pay it forward and contributing to a more compassionate and inclusive world. #KindnessMatters #SpreadLove #BeTheChange #Humility #Compassion #Inclusion

Greeting each other, whether with a simple "hello" or a warm embrace, sets the tone for positive interactions. It acknowledges our shared humanity and creates a space for connection. Celebrating diversity means embracing the unique experiences, perspectives, and cultures that make us who we are. Acceptance, on the other hand, is the foundation of inclusivity, allowing us to value and respect differences. Together, these elements foster a sense of belonging and create a more harmonious and enriching environment for all. #perspectives, #cultures #believeinyourself. #diversity #inclusion #peace #HeartfeltGratitude #GlendaleCA #LosAngelesCA #PasadenaCA #AltadenaCA #LaCanadaFlintridgeCA #BurbankCA #EnergyHealing #EagleRocKCA #LoveIsTheKey #wellbeing #selfcare #powerwithin #inspiration #Spirituality #Vitality #HealingJourney #EnergyHealing #SelfLove #SelfCare #kindness #acceptance #community #loveIsLove #acceptance #LinkedInCommunity #Gratitude #GoodMorning #humanconnection #MorningGreetings
