#Bocconi4equality/Promoting a truly inclusive workplace
The most recent studies show that LGBTQ+ workers are still constrained in the labor market, underlines Tracy Anderson, professor of Human Resource Management at Bocconi, in this video. “A study in the US shows that any involvement with LGBTQ+ organizations leads to a significant reduced likelihood of getting a job interview. And there is also evidence of job segregation, with gay men and lesbians sorting more into occupations with a higher level of independent working.” What is required is a greater effort to change culture, says Anderson. “This discrimination and stigma needs to be tackled. Companies need to include sexuality and gender identity in their diversity policies. And must also take action to ensure they really develop a truly inclusive workplace culture. Also through active engagement with LGBTQ+ employees and external groups.”
