About

Most people spend a lot of their lives at work. The impact of a safe and nurturing work environment on employees’ wellbeing cannot be underestimated. This is especially important for marginalised people, who are more likely to face conflict or discrimination outside of work. 

Unfortunately, ‘diverse’ groups tend to have more negative experiences of work. The fallout from the Covid pandemic clearly shows that people of colour, women and LGBT+ people struggled more than those in non-minority groups.

Workplaces can be particularly challenging for LGBT+ people. 45% of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people, and 55% of transgender and non-binary people report some form of conflict at work. Against a backdrop of growing hostility against LGBT+ people – particularly the transgender community – in Europe and America, many employers are left wondering how to protect their LGBT+ colleagues.
