My favourite Transcom value is “we come as we are” In my life I’ve been told that I should develop a “corporate” personality to be successful. Keeping a corporate persona is exhausting when it’s not naturally who I am. So I didn’t take that advice. Developing two personas would be like splitting myself in two, or hiding a part of myself. Hiding who you are to “fit in” is not normal or healthy. And I don’t believe it’s a choice someone should have to make. Be proud, bold and fearless in who you are as a person. Take pride in yourself 24/7 /365 - no matter what your sexuality, gender, religious beliefs, neurodivergence or personality! Just be you, and come to the workplace as you are. #Authentic #workplace #pride #transcom

With all the updates happening across my LinkedIn feed I really wanted to reflect on LGBTIQA+ #Pride2024🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Something I have learnt from my LGBTIQA+ friends is that Pride at its heart is about viability and openness and, just as importantly, the resistance to shame. Sadly the later is normally a feeling that comes from inequality in the places we work and live, through people's behaviours, and through policies and laws. Since starting at South Staffordshire Plc just nine months ago, I have enjoyed working with the team to review our working practices and policies however, we still have a lot to do to achieve our EDI ambitions as a group and to be recognised as a true ally. We recently launched a new set of family focused policies to support a wide group of people across our businesses, and with the support of one of our senior team (who is an LGBTIQA+ adoptive parent), these included matching adoption leave, to our maternity leave. However, that's just the start! So whilst as a business we have publicly declared our support by changing our logos in the usual social media way, I am using my post today (and my monthly Blog internally) to make promises for the next 12 months, where we will: - Engage our LGBTQIA+ colleagues and launch a new network 🫂 - Review our policies to ensure equity for our LGBTIQA+ colleagues ⚖️ - Review our application processes to ensure it is engaging and accessible for all 👩💻👨💻 - Engage our ESG Committee to have a programme supporting LGBTIQA+ young people into our STEM and Customer Service businesses via good apprenticeships 🏫 - Promote internally our LGBTIQA+ diversity 🌈 In becoming an active ally we will also create (through the network), listening and feedback opportunities with the community about what matters to them and ask for their support to shape our future. I look forward to updating you next year on our progress, until then Happy Pride Month to all 🎉#PrideMonth #Equity #LGBTIQA+

🟣 As someone who deeply believes in the power of #RoleModels, I'm excited to invite you to our pivotal webinar today. Aligning with #AromanticAwarenessWeek, this event is a key highlight of our #MakingHistory campaign, focusing on the significance of visibility within the #LGBTQ+ community. Today, we spotlight the #Aromantic and #Asexual voices, a testament to the diverse spectrum of people within our community. 🟣I firmly believe in the transformative power of visibility! Seeing oneself reflected in others' successes and struggles is not just inspiring; it's a beacon of possibility, empowerment and change. Our webinar aims to uplift these voices, fostering a space where every identity is acknowledged, understood, and celebrated. 🟣 Join us in this vital conversation. Together, we can build a future where visibility leads to representation, and representation fosters a new generation of talent in the Financial and Professional Services industry.
