Pride in Diversity, Manchester: Supporting LGBT Colleagues in the Workplace

Wednesday 28th October 2020 | Manchester

Two decades into the twenty-first century, LGBT identity can present significant disadvantage and is still relatively taboo in the workplace. Research reveals that over a third of LGBT staff have hidden their sexual orientation or gender identity at work for fear of discrimination.

Staff cannot reach their full potential when concerned about, or experiencing, bias and unfair treatment. However, there are straightforward steps which employers can take to support their LGBT staff and ensure their wellbeing is prioritised. 

At ‘Supporting LGBT Colleagues in the Workplace’, you will receive practical advice in ensuring that LGBT staff feel comfortable bringing their whole selves to work. Actionable strategies for building inclusivity and countering bias will be shared by expert speakers, allowing you to drive better individual, business and organisational outcomes. 

Pride in Diversity: Supporting LGBT Colleagues in the Workplace will also be taking place in London on 17th September. Click here to visit the event page.

• Yassine Senghor, Client Account Manager, Stonewall
