A Guide to LGBTQ+ inclusion in the workplace
LGBTQ+ inclusion in the workplace is fast becoming a priority for organizations of all sizes. This includes SMEs as well as big businesses, as LGBTQ+ inclusivity offers a distinct competitive advantage for all organizations.
What does LGBTQ+ refer to?
As an umbrella term, LGBTQ+ includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people. Note that more sexualities can feature under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, hence the use of the plus symbol (for example: intersex people, pansexuality, asexuality, and people who are questioning their sexuality/gender identity).
The LGBTQ+ umbrella is inclusive to many different sexualities and gender identities. So too are there many ways we can ensure LGBTQ+ people are supported and included in their places of work.
