Earn your stripes: what can companies do to create a truly LGBTQ+ inclusive workplace?

Elixirr is proud to present Challenger Network News, the show that takes your weekly news round-up to the next level. Hosted by Brandon Bichler, Partner at Elixirr, we debate the top news stories of the week alongside industry experts.

Pride Month 2021 saw news feeds around the world flood with rainbow logos and messages of solidarity from companies who took to their social channels to show their support. However does this solidarity translate into action for change? Perhaps not. In fact, Popular Information, found that 25 so-called ally corporations had actually spent over $10 million supporting anti-LGBTQ+ policies in recent years. A prime example of corporate Pinkwashing.

Companies must stop viewing D&I simply as a ‘marketing’ exercise and start looking inwards to create real change. But how?

Catch up on episode 23 of Challenger Network News to hear host Brandon Bichler talk to Suki Sandhu, OBE, Founder and CEO of Audeliss and INvolve – The Inclusion People, about steps towards creating a truly LGBTQ+ inclusive environment in the workplace.
