At Conello, one of our core company values is Better Together — the belief that strong teams are built through connection, trust, and a sense of belonging. We believe in the importance of creating spaces where everyone feels seen, respected, and valued. We’re proud to celebrate Pride and the LGBTQ+ community, this month and every month.
Unfortunately, many LGBTQ+ employees still don’t experience the sense of belonging they deserve at work. According to a report from the Williams Institute at UCLA, nearly half of LGBTQ+ employees (47%) have experienced discrimination or harassment at work. But when a company publicly supports LGBTQ+ rights, employees are 4.5 times more likely to want to work at that company (according to the HRC Corporate Equality Index).
Creating inclusive workplaces isn’t just about policies or checking off a box, it’s about building cultures where people can show up authentically, contribute fully, and thrive. When teammates feel like they belong, everyone benefits.
Whether through in-person events or digital team-building experiences, our mission is to help organizations foster connection and belonging. Pride Month is an opportunity to reflect on how we can continue building workplaces where everyone feels welcome and safe.
