Your efforts still need to align with your culture and your brand. If this is your first year to try to celebrate Pride Month in your workplace, I doubt your employees are expecting a full rainbow explosion.
“Love is Love” t-shirts, parades with rainbow balloons, drag shows, family picnics and more! That’s why it is important to celebrate with the people who support you!ĭespite the negativity we might see in the news and social media, Pride Month activities are filled with joy and acceptance. Even though the Supreme Court ruled in 2020 that a person can’t be fired due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, there is still a lot of hatred and intolerance in the world. Many people are worried their co-workers will treat them differently. A recent article from HR Dive reports that one quarter of LGBTQ employees keep their identity hidden. This can be tricky since not everyone feels comfortable being “out” at work. So, how can you celebrate Pride Month in your workplace? In my experience, every year the recognition of Pride Month grows to include many more allies and supporters. Every June you may see a flood of rainbow logos, parades and festivities in the LGBTQ+ community to celebrate Pride Month.
