June may be coming to an end, but pride can and should be celebrated throughout the year!
Here are some simple ways to make your business more inclusive to LGBTQ+ workers and show your support year-round:
- Make sure your employee policies include protections that extend to LGBTQ+ workers. For examples on sample language to include in nondiscrimination policies, send us an email.
- Make sure your employer sponsored healthcare includes gender-affirming care.
- Use your employees personal pronouns, and consider including your pronouns in your email signature or other written materials. Additionally, you can use gender-neutral language in your communication and policies.
- Provide training for employees on topics such as how to be an ally, using inclusive language, and understanding and addressing implicit bias. Find resources here: LGBTQ Workplace Education Center
- To keep informed about issues concerning the LGBTQ+ community here in Nebraska, follow organizations like OutNebraska and ACLU Nebraska.
- The Nebraska Unicameral relies on input from "the second house" - the people. You can contact your representative during the legislative session to help them understand that the business community supports inclusion and equality.
