Active Allyship: Strengthening LGBTQ+ Inclusion in Your Company (Webinar)

During Pride month, many organizations are quick to voice their support for LGBTQ+ employees and customers. But funneling that support into a single month, without further culture and structure change, can leave employees feeling unsafe, unseen, and left behind. In 2022, the Center for American Progress found that half of LGBTQ+ adults reported discriminatory experiences due to their identity—consistent with a UCLA study finding that more than one-third (34.2%) of LGBTQ+ employees have left a job due to such treatment by their employer.  

This alarming data signals an opportunity for inclusive business leaders to elevate their policies around LGBTQ+ inclusion from performative to genuine. Doing so puts companies on the path to building workplaces that address discrimination head-on, both because it’s a smart business strategy and because it’s the right thing to do. 

Join this webinar to hear our panel of experts discuss: 

• Why performative policies lead to a decrease in employee trust, team performance, employee productivity, and retention.
• How leaders can implement genuine policies that make real change and build trust for LGBTQ+ employees.
• The impact senior leaders modeling true allyship has toward advancing LGBTQ+ equity.
