In this IIL inclusion and diversity webinar, Maurice Rose and Ben Johnson talk about the importance of creating LGBTQ+ inclusive recruitment practices and how this contributes to the overall inclusion of the workplace and makes your organisation a better place for everyone to work in. It also links this to the increased level of regulatory scrutiny we are currently seeing from the UK regulators.

Description

Do you know that:

• 35% of LGBTQ+ people in the UK choose not to disclose their sexuality at work
• 1 in 4 LGBTQ+ people experience bullying in the workplace
• More transgender people hide their identity at work now than they did five years ago
• In 2017 there were only 2 out LGBTQ+ CEOs in the FTSE100

Looking at these points and more, in this talk, the speakers discuss the key components of LGBTQ+ inclusive recruitment processes, success stories, regulatory focus and the LINK Inclusion framework: what is, how you can use and the benefits it will bring.
