June is celebrated as Pride Month around the world, a time to honor and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community. Celebrating Pride Month in the office is not only important for creating a welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ employees, but it also demonstrates your commitment to diversity and inclusion. By taking steps to celebrate Pride Month, you can help create a workplace culture that values and respects all employees.
We know from first hand experience that it is important to create an inclusive workplace culture that promotes equality and respect for all employees, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender.
To help you mark the occasion we listed 5 ways to celebrate Pride Month in the office:
1. Decorate the office
Decorating the office with rainbow flags, balloons, posters, banners and a pride themed biscuit on everyone's desk can make the office feel more festive and supportive of the LGBTQIA+ community. It can create a positive and inclusive environment for everyone in the office.
2. Organize a Pride parade
Organizing a Pride parade can be a fun and meaningful way to celebrate Pride Month. The parade can be a small gathering of employees, or it can be a larger event involving the local community. Participants can carry banners, wear rainbow-colored outfits, and walk through the streets to show support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
3. Host a Pride-themed food event
Hosting a Pride-themed event in the office, such as a potluck with some of our branded biscuits is a great way to bring employees together and celebrate Pride Month. The event can be an opportunity for employees to share their experiences over food which always makes for a great way to come together and learn more about the community.
4. Educate employees
Pride Month can be an opportunity to educate employees about the LGBTQIA+ community, their history, and their struggles.

This can help create a more inclusive workplace for everyone.
