In celebration of Pride Month, we want to share how important it is to be an ally to the 2SLGBTQI community and champion diversity in the workplace. Recently, we hosted a great discussion with some of our employees about what it means to be an ally and how we can support a culture of understanding, belonging, inclusivity, and allyship. Here are some insights that came from the discussion: ➡️ Actively listen and learn about the whole person. How they identify is only one part of who they are so take the time to get to know them. ➡️ Take the time to build your knowledge and awareness about people who are different from you. ➡️ Take the time to acknowledge your biases and how they may be affecting your actions. ➡️ Stand up and address situations when others are saying things that aren’t supportive of others. ➡️ Be brave and have the confidence to support your peers On behalf of eSentire, Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈

Strategic Industrial-Organizational Psychologist | Business Coach & Founder at Black Diaspora Shine Network | Senior Consultant & Change Leader
Join the EmpowerHer Black Wellness Alliance: A Call to Action for Workplace Well-Being ✨✨ Hi LinkedIn community! 👋🏾 Today, I'm reaching out with a special invitation that hits close to the heart of many Black women in the workforce. Let me introduce myself: Hi! ☀️ My name is Khala, I’m a 31 year old Black woman and mom of two, and I'm passionate about fostering a supportive environment for Black women in professional spaces. Having faced numerous acts of harm and challenges in the workplace, I am deeply committed to holistic well-being, intergenerational healing, racial justice, and leveraging my background in Industrial-Organizational Psychology to initiate positive change. The recent tragic loss of Dr. Antoinette Candia-Bailey, Vice President of Student Affairs at Lincoln University, served as a heartbreaking reminder of the challenges Black women face in the workplace. The mistreatment and bullying she endured, rooted in misogyny and racism, sadly echo the experiences of many Black women. And too often and recently, I find myself in conversations where we collectively ask, "Are there any safe workplaces for us?" and “This is exhausting, but what can we do?” In response to the crucial need for a safe space and aligned action – I’m launching the EmpowerHer Black Wellness Alliance with a specific focus on Workplace Well-Being. It is what I like to call a "being space" for Black women to just be, feel joyful, safe, supported, and uplifted while actively creating workplace solutions that center us and our experiences. I don’t have all the answers obviously, but I believe some of best ideas are born and generated in community 💫. So that’s why I’m reaching out to you 😊. If you share my frustration and are ready to take action, I invite you to express your interest in this initiative by filling out this form (https://lnkd.in/eK6H_TE3) by Friday, March 1st. I'm planning to host our first interest meeting in March 2024, where we can connect, share insights on your needs and desires, and collectively brainstorm ideas to get us started. **Note: please share this with anyone that you think would be interested as well! Happy Black History Month and be kind to yourself 🤎🖤 #EmpowerHerBlackWellness #BlackWomenAtWork #WorkplaceWellbeing

🌟 Prioritizing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Swell Partners 🌈 At Swell Partners, one of our core values is Valuing Diversity. This year marks an 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 for us as we prioritize our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategy. Our aim is to solidify a culture that's inherently inclusive for all. We invite you to follow our page and join us on this journey as we strive to create more inclusive, equitable, and happy workplaces 🤗 Some of the initiatives we're implementing include: 1️⃣ revisiting our DEI goals, 2️⃣ opening up team-wide dialogues around DEI, 3️⃣ collaborating on a company-wide DEI vocabulary, 4️⃣ and engaging in identity reflection activities. We recently shared an educational article with tips to help leaders celebrate Black History Month in a meaningful way. Consulting with helpful resources like that article is just one step on our journey towards greater awareness and action in the realm of DEI. 📈 As a #FastGrowingCompany, we acknowledge that we're still learning and evolving.

People and Culture Innovator 🚀 | Fractional CHRO | Purpose Led Leader ⭐ | Champion of Strategic & Results-Based Organizations 🎯
T-minus 29 days 🗓️ If one of your organizational goals is to move the needle on your DEI efforts, it is important to be aware that Black History Month is just a short 29 days away! 🚀 Recognizing #BlackHistoryMonth and honoring the contributions of Black people from all periods of US history is just one way to demonstrate a commitment to driving awareness and support for diversity, equity, and inclusion within your workplace. 🌍✊ But we also know that keeping track of important cultural milestones can be challenging, especially for smaller organizations without a robust, multidisciplinary HR team. 🤹♂️ And once Black History Month is over, guess what…it’s Women’s History Month…and then Mental Health Awareness Month, then Pride Month…and the list goes on and on. 📆🌈. In creating an inclusive culture, it is important to recognize these significant cultural initiatives. 🤝 But we get that having good intentions does not always deliver on meaningful results, because there are only so many hours in the day. If you don't have anything planned, it's not too late to join our event on February 1st, where we will be hosting Sertrice Shipley (DEI expert) where together, we'll explore the intersections of Black History Month and DEI. You'll gain valuable insights into the challenges and successes of DEI initiatives, and discover practical ways to foster allyship in the workplace. From discussing the importance of recognizing individual experiences and envisioning the future of DEI, this event promises a meaningful conversation around important topics that shape the landscape of inclusive workplaces. If you'd like to join us, or are looking for guidance on how to commemorate this month and the ones that follow, feel free to reach out directly! Together, let's make your organizational culture more inclusive and supportive. #CulturalAwareness #Inclusion #Diversity #InclusionMatters #Belonging

As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, it’s crucial to recognize the tools at our disposal for fostering a more inclusive and empowering corporate environment. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) or professional associations stand out as powerful platforms for Black professionals seeking community support, professional development, and advocacy opportunities.

Happy Pride month to all! During this month it's important to remember this is not just a month about parades and parties, it's a month to celebrate how far we've come as a community and recognize how far we still have to go to ensure inclusion and safety for all LGBTQIA persons globally! I came out later in life after years of shame, enduring the horrors of conversion therapy, participating in the ex-gay movement, and living inauthentically. Yet, thankfully, I found the way out of all that and have been able to live authentically and proud of all of who I am. I'm grateful I work in an organization like Boston Consulting Group (BCG) that not only supports me but celebrates me. This has been life-changing! There are three things that I believe are crucial for LGBTQIA persons (and everyone really) to thrive: 1. Work on yourself and the journey to full acceptance of all of who you are - do this first! This can take many forms, but I recommend therapy and/or support groups to get started. 2. Close second, find a community of people, even if small, that you can be open and honest with, that allows you to show up as yourself and seek support in your journey, and cheers you on along the way. 3. Lastly, put yourself in spaces where you are celebrated instead of just tolerated. Match the spaces you're in and the tables you sit at with the deep intrinsic value you have - accept nothing less than full respect. This applies to social groups, family, work, communities, etc. And know that there are so many of us that may be ahead of you on this journey who are willing and able to step in to support you in each of the above. Reach out so you don't have to do this alone!

Encouraged by my network, I'm excited to invite you to join Marked Safe, a new initiative dedicated to Black women's empowerment in the workplace. This platform offers a safe space for sharing experiences - both positive and challenging - faced in professional environments. The inception of this idea was sparked by the growing demand for action in creating avenues that ensure the safety and support of Black women in their professional environments. 🌟 Why Marked Safe? Black women are increasingly leaving leadership roles and facing undue stress due to workplace issues like bullying, harassment, and lack of support, despite companies claiming to support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Marked Safe aims to make DEI more than just a term; it's about accountability and ensuring safety. ✍🏾The Black Female Voice Matters By sharing your stories, you're not only shedding light on your journey but also guiding others in making informed decisions about their career paths. Your insights can help build a community that advocates for safer, more inclusive work environments. How to Get Involved: 🙏🏾 Participate by visiting Marked Safe: https://lnkd.in/gRYbMmea and sharing your experience with safety. Your contribution can make a significant difference! 🤝🏾 Let's join hands in making workplaces better for every Black woman. Share, participate, and let these voices be heard and seen. #MarkedSafe #Empowerment #WorkplaceInclusion #MakeYourMark
