Creating a safe work environment for everyone is one of the main ideas of inclusion. On average, LGBT+ people experience more struggles with finding employment and then bringing their full selves to work. It is proven that LGBT+ workers who are able to come out at work and be themselves are more effective and initiative in completing their tasks. Still, in some countries, the LGBT+ community is more marginalized than in others. LGBT+ friendly companies can create not only a safe space for these people in their countries but also increase their team collaboration and productivity.

Join the panel discussion to learn more on the following topics:

How to exercise a wider role of business in driving LGBT+ equity
How to create an inclusive culture in relation to gender identity
How to take a local LGBT+ strategy and realize it globally
How to develop an intersectional approach in your business
How to engage with allies, mentors, and LGBT+ networks

Speakers will provide you with all the necessary information that will help to create a safe and inclusive work environment for everyone. Looking forward to seeing you at the session!
