June is Pride Month–a time to celebrate the resilience of the LGBTQ community and their progress in pursuit of equality and acceptance. It’s a time for reflection, education, and connection. Manchester Industries remains an ally and offers a supportive workplace where all employees feel safe, valued, and included. One simple way we can create a more accepting workplace is by adding pronouns to email signatures. Pronouns are how we identify ourselves apart from our names. Sharing your pronouns first can set a norm and encourage others to do the same. We don’t just talk about our commitment to inclusion, we choose to model it. #PrideMonth #DiversityAndInclusion

LGBT History Month, celebrated throughout February, is a time to recognise and honour the contributions and struggles of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. It's an opportunity to educate, raise awareness, and promote equality for the LGBT community. 🏳️🌈 For employers and employees, this month provides an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations about inclusion and belonging in the workplace. It's an opportunity to celebrate the diverse contributions of LGBT individuals and to create a supportive and inclusive environment for all employees. Let's commit to creating workplaces where everyone feels valued and respected, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. #LGBTHistoryMonth #InclusionMatters #DiversityandInclusion

Pride Month is about acceptance, equality and celebrating the work of LGBTQ people. But it isn’t just about the Pride Month flags, the LGBTQ Pride Month facts or Pride Month resources because LGBTQ inclusion should take place 365 days of the year. Making assumptions on sexuality, gender and sex, based on heteronormative ideas is not acceptable. Our plays share example of unacceptable behaviour at work or school. We work hard to educate, inspire and ignite discussions. Allyship in the workplace is crucial for inclusion and equality. Research shows that having just one strong ally can help reduce the possibility of suicidal thoughts of LGBTQ people by 40%. June is not just time for celebration, it’s also a time to raise awareness of issues that might be experienced being part of the LGBTQIA . It shines a light on the unique challenges so that we can support each other better. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ Inclusion #Allyship #EqualityForAll #LGBTQIA #AcceptanceMatters #SupportEachOther #TheatreInspiringChange

As Pride Month comes to a close, I am filled with gratitude and reflection. Celebrating the vibrant history, resilience, and contributions of the LGBTQ community is not confined to June; it’s a year-round commitment. As someone who researches diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, I witness firsthand the transformative power of inclusion. Diversity is not just a metric to be measured but a profound source of creativity and innovation. Our workplaces thrive when everyone can bring their whole selves to the table. Let’s continue to champion policies that protect LGBTQ rights, foster inclusive environments, and amplify queer voices. Remember, true allyship means standing up, speaking out, and taking actionable steps every single day. Together, we can create spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. Pride is more than a month; it’s a movement toward equality and justice. #Pride2024 #LGBTQ #DiversityandInclusion #EqualityForAll

On October 14, 1979, a march took place in our nation’s capital: the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. Commemorating that march is one of the reasons October was chosen as LGBTQ History Month. Throughout October, we honor and celebrate the incredible contributions and resilience of the LGBTQ community. At CRA, we recognize the importance of creating an inclusive and accepting environment for everyone. As we honor LGBTQ History Month, let us reflect on the powerful events that set in motion our march toward equality for all, our progress, and our setbacks since then. It reminds us that despite the inevitable challenges along the way, every action creates ripples of change and paves the way for a more inclusive future. CRA is committed to fostering a workplace where everyone feels respected, valued, and included, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. We recognize that allyship, education, and open dialogue are key to creating an environment where diversity thrives, and individuals can bring their whole selves to work. #OutLoudatCRA #LGBTQHistoryMonth #inclusiveworkplace #diversityatwork #LGBTQ #lgbtqhistorymonth2023 #BeAnAlly

As Pride Month begins, many companies change their logos to rainbow colors in support of the LGBTQ community. This visibility is a good start, but it's essential to translate this support into meaningful actions that promote inclusivity throughout the year. Performative allyship, such as changing a profile picture, isn't enough. True allyship means taking substantial actions: • Implement policies that protect LGBTQ employees from discrimination. • Offer comprehensive health benefits that cover LGBTQ specific needs. • Foster a workplace culture where everyone feels safe and valued, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. • Support LGBTQ causes and organizations not just in June, but year-round. Visibility is important, but it's just a start. Let’s hold these companies accountable and demand real, lasting change. #pridemonth
