🌈 As we wrap up Pride Month, we reflect on the vibrant celebrations, and the progress we continue to make towards a more inclusive world here at Spencer Ogden and beyond 🏳️🌈 Supporting Human Dignity Trust: In June, we pledged to support the Human Dignity Trust, a charity who works with the law to defend the human rights of LGBT people globally. Colleagues across our 13 offices rallied to raise funds through office bake sales (In our London office alone, we raised just shy of £200 from cakes sold!) while also recognising each other's hard work via our peer-to-peer recognition scheme which generates £3 for charity for every recognition given 🍰 'Acceptance without Exception': This year's theme highlights the importance of progress made in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) as a business while encouraging ongoing action and allyship. We provided Pride resources to our people to encourage allyship and learning ✨. Spencer Ogden's LGBTQIA+ Network: To ensure our the conversation around equality continues all year round, we have our newest network, Spencer Ogden's LGBTQIA+ Network which was set up with the mission to celebrate and embrace the LGBTQ+ community while providing a support network for LGBTQ+ employees. This network aims to drive individual and collective accountability for progressive workplace change. As we move into July, we are excited to continue this journey towards a more inclusive and supportive workplace. #PrideMonth #Pride2024 #DiversityandInclusion #SpencerOgden
