People perform better when they can be themselves, and there are many ways that you, as an employer, can support LGBTQ+ people in your workplace.
Ensure that your policies and procedures are fully inclusive of LGBTQ+ people; this includes pensions, leave requests and health insurance. Ensure your policies specifically mention LGBTQ+ people
Get people involved across your company - create a network group specifically for LGBTQ+ employees. Reward those that do get involved in the network group
Engage team members that are not LGBTQ+; they can help spread the message that diversion is celebrated within your company.
Ensure that LGBTQ+ people receive senior support.
Speak to your staff - educate them on what inclusion looks like within your company.
Ensuring that you understand the make up of your team is crucial to the success of supporting diversity within your company; every step is a step towards acceptance without exception for LGBTQ+ people.
