Every year we celebrate Pride Month, a time to promote and foster the acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals while recognising the progress that has been made and acknowledging where more can be done.
As a business that is proud to keep its people at its centre, we are always looking for new partnerships, initiatives, and opportunities to improve equity, inclusion, and belonging across Meet.
Last week, our global offices celebrated Pride Month with a Pride-themed sales day. Our teams sported colourful outfits and took part in both a trivia and song quiz to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ individuals and celebrate the diversity that makes our teams stronger.
While we marked the occasion by updating our LinkedIn logo with a Pride theme, we also want to share some of the ways we're continuing to improve our workplace for employees behind the scenes:
🏳️🌈 Welcoming a guest speaker who will share their experiences as a queer person in a corporate setting and discuss the importance of inclusive language.
🏳️🌈 Launching our Awareness Committee, employee-led by Cedar Casper, which focuses on LGBTQ+ awareness while also championing broader Diversity & Inclusion initiatives across the business.
🏳️🌈 Updating our new starter onboarding programme to include training on allyship, diversity and inclusion awareness, and the impact language can have in creating an inclusive workplace.
At Meet, our aim is to continually support everyone and keep conversations around visibility, allyship, and inclusion going all year round. We're proud of the progress we've made and remain committed to creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and empowered to be themselves.
