As we say goodbye to the January blues and step into February, we recognise LGBTQ+ History Month—a time to reflect on the progress made and the steps still needed to ensure true inclusivity in the workplace.
With significant social and political shifts happening globally, including the recent U.S. presidential election resulting in Donald Trump's return to office, it's more important than ever to foster inclusive, supportive workplaces.
At Syzygy, we are committed to creating a fair and welcoming environment for all, ensuring that everyone, regardless of gender identity or sexuality, feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
Part of being a B Corp means embedding these values into the core of our business, championing diversity, prioritising fairness in recruitment, and holding ourselves accountable to the highest standards of inclusivity.
The Importance of Inclusivity in Recruitment
Creating a genuinely inclusive workplace begins with recruitment. If we want to attract a diverse talent pool to the property and renewables sector, we must ensure that candidates feel comfortable expressing their authentic selves from the outset. This means adopting fair hiring practices, using inclusive language in job descriptions, and demonstrating a commitment to diversity throughout the recruitment process.
Fostering an Inclusive Workplace Culture
Inclusivity doesn’t stop at recruitment, it extends to the entire employee experience. A truly welcoming workplace requires ongoing education, allyship, and a commitment to ensuring that all employees feel safe and supported.
Holding our Sector Accountable
At Syzygy, we're committed to creating a truly inclusive environment for the LGBTQ+ community in both the property and renewables sectors. We listen to our staff and champion a diverse, welcoming workplace where everyone is celebrated.
