We know how it goes. July 1st comes around, our Pride corporate logos switch back and company’s Pride-specific taglines and limited-edition products all come to an end.

Of course, it’s great to see the wave of celebration across social media and from global organizations during June’s Pride Month. This shouldn’t be taken for granted, as the importance of Pride and being proud of oneself, let alone the achievements of the many communities that constitute the LGBT+ community, deserve to be celebrated and it’s important that we give space for this.

But how do we ensure that our work for LGBT+ inclusion goes beyond June? Pride after all commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Riots, which at its heart is both a celebration and a call to action for change, serving as a reminder that we still have work a lot to do to ensure the global LGBT+ community are safe and able to thrive as their authentic selves.

In our latest Insights piece, we provide some practical guidance on extending goals for LGBT+ inclusion beyond June.

The last few years have seen a radical shift in the way that trans people are viewed in society, particularly as a result of increased media interest and lens on the community that isn’t always positive.

The need for vocally and actively safe spaces for trans people is at an incredible high with, what can at times feel like, a constant barrage of negative media representation and discourse around their existence. Therefore, it is vital that businesses are at the forefront of driving change for inclusion within their workplaces and beyond.

In this piece from March 2022 INvolve's Engagement Manager, Jessica McLeish, discusses some ways organizations and allies can be proactive and not reactive in driving trans-inclusion in business.
