Enhancements Proposed to Boost LGBTQ+ Acceptance in Advertising Industry's Work Environments
In a significant step towards fostering a more inclusive environment, Outvertising, a voluntary group of industry professionals dedicated to making the UK marketing and advertising sector more inclusive, has published a comprehensive guide aimed at advertising and marketing bosses. This 20-step proposal focuses on improving inclusivity for the LGBTQ+ community within the advertising sector.
The guide, developed in collaboration with human resources professionals, is designed to help improve employee experiences within the workplace. It includes a variety of actions covering language, monitoring, training, allyship, and contracts.
One key aspect of the guide is the emphasis on using gender-inclusive language. This includes recommendations for language usage in job descriptions, communications, and marketing materials. The guide also suggests diversity monitoring to ensure equal opportunities and representation across the board.
Training actions are another crucial component of the guide. Outvertising offers a mentoring program and resources for organisations to enhance their understanding and implementation of inclusive practices. The guide also includes actions related to allyship, encouraging allies within the workplace to take an active role in promoting inclusivity.
It's important to note that this guide is not exhaustive. There may be additional actions or steps not listed that organisations can take to further enhance their inclusivity efforts.
