Overall, when averaged across all 19 countries in our survey, 58% of LGBTQ+ respondents said that they had experienced discrimination—and interestingly, except in Sweden, this rate was highest among those who described themselves as “partially out. They teamed up as mentor and mentee in The Valuable500’s Generation Valuable program which connects senior leaders with employees with disabilities to provide mentorship and collaborate on an action plan to increase disability inclusion in the workplace. That means, it’s highly likely that someone on your team has a disability, whether it is apparent, or non-apparent. For example, in the Netherlands, 31% of LBTQ+ women reported that they are fully closeted as compared to 17% of GBTQ+ men.

Include regular and frequent expressions of support for, celebrations of, and events that recognize the Pride movement, and support broader LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion as a regular component of the company's calendar. And the other thing that gives students confidence is that, if they apply themselves which you need to do when you’re learning and work well and are supported in small classes then they’re going to be looking at getting into UTS and that’s a really fantastic learning journey. Even after taking the step of sharing their identity at work, many LGBTQ+ individuals choose to, at times, keep that information to themselves.By fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion during recruiting, onboarding, and in the day-to-day environment, companies send a signal that they take inclusivity seriously. Yeah I think everybody has a bit of a similar experience when they’re stepping, it’s like stepping from one world to a new world or fish in a big pond instead of a big fish in a small pond and it’s not just adapting to new ways of learning and a new scale of class. I have read many books about walking before crawling and there are exercises in these books to get a child to walk earlier and maybe even skip crawling.

Karen: Natalie’s father thinks that his wife is spoiling Natalie because she spends so much time with her.The Ask-Connect-Inspire-Plan framework encourages practices that—particularly if implemented in partnership between two- and four-year colleges—can support more students in reaching their goal to transfer.

The key is to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion at all stages of the employee journey, especially during recruiting and onboarding and in the day-to-day environment. Among the practices that showed the highest correlation are gender-neutral bathrooms, visible role models, nonbinary choices on forms, and appropriate health coverage (e.

Not surprisingly, these measures often correlate with more advanced stages of a company’s inclusion journey. Companies should also clearly communicate their inclusive policies and resources to candidates and new hires. Psychological safety effectively functions as an equalizer—enabling diverse and disadvantaged employees to achieve the same levels of workplace satisfaction as their colleagues. Without the involvement of four-year partners, community colleges would not be able to tell students which courses to take to transfer successfully in a program of study or to connect them to communities that will remain relevant to them in their program at the four-year college.

The First Year Matters: Being Mentored…In Action, by Carol Pelletier Radford , provides new teachers with a practical guide to use throughout their mentoring experience as well as for self-reflection. COP27 is one of the world’s most important forums when it comes to tackling the fight against climate change and I’m honored that BCG will be helping the Egyptian government design an agenda aimed at moving the climate conversation forward. Here is the first in a series of publications exploring the impact of the Ukraine war on the global food system. This data suggests that companies need to employ a broad set of measures to foster a truly inclusive workplace. To protect those now and in the future, we must reshape and rethink our food systems to be equitable, resilient, and responsive in times of crisis.To understand the experience of LGBTQ+ people in the workplace, we cast a wide net, surveying more than 8,800 people. This year, as we celebrate the opening of our Auckland office, we have published the first ever report for New Zealand. It also provides topics of discussion for meeting with their mentor, activities for discussion, and goal setting for the coming month. And I would say don’t be afraid to ask for help because it is readily available, and I think it’s really important to not overload yourself with too much expectation. The IWEI is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that conducts an in-depth study of an organization's position on the spectrum of inclusion, evaluating nine parameters related to employee policy and practice.
