How to Celebrate Pride in the Office

Pride Month is a time to celebrate LGBTQ rights and raise awareness for the ongoing issues in the world. Companies should provide a safe space for LGBTQ employees to come together and share their stories. One way to show support is by holding an event prior to Pride month. Provide recognition for the history of LGBTQ communities as well as hold a discussion about why pride celebrations are important, so your employees can become more educated on the subject.

Catering to Everyone, and from Everyone

Diversity and inclusion have never been more important to workplace culture than it is now. If your office is holding events to celebrate your LGBTQ colleagues, you'll need to make sure catering is appropriately themed. That means ordering meals from queer-owned restaurants and finding treats that are Pride-rainbow themed. At CaterCow, we're proud to be an ally of a large number of LGBTQ restaurant owners, and we also have a large selection of rainbow-themed treats for your team to enjoy! We'd love to be a part of your Pride event!
