With much talk about Pride month coming our way in June, we're taking a look at how organisations can take meaningful steps to support LGBTQ+ leadership year round. Plus find details of our National Inclusion Week packages, meet us at the CIPD Festival of Work, and replay the hugely popular Menopause: Missed potential and the bottom line webinar. You will also find a full list of next month's upcoming webinars.
LGBTQ+ inclusion faces new challenges
Progress on LGBTQ+ rights feels increasingly fragile in 2025. With the UK dropping to 22nd place in the Rainbow Index and 39% of LGBTQ+ employees still hiding their identity at work, many colleagues are feeling anxious about what lies ahead.
This Pride month, employers have a crucial opportunity to reaffirm their commitment to inclusion. From focusing on wellbeing and conducting listening exercises to empowering leaders to create genuine psychological safety, there are clear actions you can take right now.
But meaningful change requires more than seasonal gestures. Leading organisations embed LGBTQ+ inclusion as a core part of their people strategy, maintaining accountability through data and creating environments where all colleagues can thrive year-round.
