Episode 173 - LGBTQ+ Inclusion: Turning Awareness Into Action
In a 2023 study by Indeed, over half (53%) of respondents who identify as LGBTQ+ felt discriminated against at work. And although, of the 500 surveyed participants who identified as LGBTQIA+, 92% stated they were 'out' at work, only 34% were 'out' to everyone they worked with, while 57% disclosed this only to those they trusted at work. Something is wrong here.
Although we see fantastic groups constantly pushing the inclusion agenda forward, and some employers doing good work in this area, it seems like there’s still so much more we need to understand, and so much more we need to do.
So to talk to us about this today we’re delighted to be joined by someone who is a huge advocate for this, and someone who was recently awarded the 2024 Diversity Champion Award at the CIPD Ireland awards for his work on this and so much more, the brilliant Samuel Riggs, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Manager at Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail.
