Engage LGBTQ+ Employees to Drive D&I Initiatives

While every day is an opportune time to drive your diversity and inclusion (D&I) initiatives in the workplace, Pride Month is an especially advantageous time to engage employees and drive new D&I initiatives.

As discussed in a previous blog, Pride is about more than just rainbows and parties — it’s about radical change – and that drive to “do better” and “be better” can be infectious.

But as you are inspired by the spirit of Pride, recognize that despite progress, many LGBTQ+ employees still face many challenges at work. In a recent survey by Glassdoor, the data collected revealed that LGBTQ+ employees are less satisfied at work when it was compared to their non-LGBTQ+ counterparts.

Even though certain companies and industries are highly rated in the Glassdoor data, there is still progress to be made. By engaging all employees and getting them involved in driving your D&I initiatives, you can continue to improve equity in your workplace.
