More than 50% of 2SLGBTQIA+ Canadians aren’t comfortable being out in their workplaces. (Pride at Work Canada, 2022) The most common reason why is simple: fear. “What keeps people still in the closet at work is mostly fear. When we look at what’s really under the hood of this fear, we know that it’s fear of losing one’s job, not receiving equal pay for equal work, not receiving the same career growth opportunities, or not being supported in the same way as others.” - Scott Dobroski, VP of Global Corporate Communications for Indeed. It's time for positive change within our workplaces. Getting started doesn’t have to be intimidating or overwhelming. Even taking small steps in the right direction can make a big impact. If you’re not sure where to start, this article shares 5 tips to help make your workplace more welcoming to 2SLGBTQIA+ employees so that they may feel comfortable and safe to come out, if they wish. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gJZfMC4p Know of any other helpful resources?
