Dozens of LGBTQ+ CRE leaders recently converged on New York City at the Real Estate Pride Roundtable to speak openly about how far the industry has come on inclusion and where it still must improve. Arbor’s Director of Construction Management, Tres Seippel, MAI, MRICS, attended the roundtable and said that firms don’t necessarily have to make big and flashy efforts to support LGBTQ+ colleagues; being authentic in their support, such as encouraging employees to include pronouns in their email signatures to show gender identity preferences and underwriting social issues into loans, goes a long way.

Figures from Stonewall highlight the ongoing challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community in the workplace, reinforcing the need for genuine, year-round commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) initiatives. Public support from organisations is crucial for visibility and change, but it must transcend marketing and PR. It’s more important than ever that your business is taking proactive steps to not only actively support but attract LGBTQ+ talent. Do you know how you can make a difference?

This morning, we released a new report titled, “Talent on the Move–Where Do We Go From Here?,” which examines how the US legislative landscape and the surge in anti-LGBTQ+ bills are impacting the LGBTQ+ workforce experience and the actionable steps employers can take to effectively respond. Check out the full report here: https://lnkd.in/dAkYkM56 #OELeFo2024 #BusinessOfBelonging

The new "Talent on the Move" report from Out and Equal Workplace Advocates really hits home for me. As a transgender professional, I've experienced firsthand how anti-LGBTQ+ legislation impacts career mobility and workplace belonging. A few startling findings from the report: 🔴79% say anti-LGBTQ+ laws would affect whether they relocated for a new job. 🔴45% feel less safe in their state due to changes in LGBTQ+ rights. 🔴24% report hearing anti-LGBTQ+ jokes at work, mostly targeting trans people. I'm confident I've been overlooked for roles simply because I'm trans. It's so frustrating to face these barriers when trying to find a new role (especially when you've been laid off). The report shows why employers must double down on LGBTQ+ inclusion - it's not just the right thing to do; it's critical for attracting and retaining top talent. I'm hopeful more companies will step up and create truly inclusive workplaces where LGBTQ+ employees can thrive. But we have more work to do. A helluva lot more. #LGBTQ #GenderIdentity #SexualOrientation #BusinessOfBelonging #Inclusion #Belonging #Workplace #Jobs

As the executive sponsor of our Proud@BAM network I have witnessed first hand the work that has gone on to make BAM UK & Ireland an inclusive workplace, where we can all feel respected and supported in everything we do. So clearly it disappoints me to see that 47% of respondents in a recent survey we did don’t think that the construction industry is an accepting industry for the LGBTQ+ community. The findings are concerning and demonstrates that our sector, along with so many others, still has lots of work to do to create a more inclusive environment. As an industry we can’t afford to lose out on talented people if we are to build a sustainable tomorrow and deliver the infrastructure our country needs to thrive. But change will only come if we all do our bit. It’s everyone’s responsibility, from managers, colleagues to businesses to ensure that everyone feels safe and able to bring their true self to work. Inclusion is not just ‘a nice to have’, it’s a win-win for everyone.
