Championing LGBT+ Workplace Inclusion

Community Business has over a decade of experience in helping organisations across Asia create inclusive workplaces for their LGBT+ employees. Ideal for organisations who are just starting out on their LGBT+ inclusion journey, this introductory session is designed to increase understanding on key concepts, terminology, and dispel misconceptions related to LGBT+ in Asia. We provide the historical, cultural, legal and social context around LGBT+ inclusion in key markets in Asia, and provide concrete steps that organisations might take to advance LGBT+ inclusion.  

This session is designed for senior leaders to understand why an LGBT+ inclusive workplace is important to business and the role we can all play to promote it. We clarify key concepts, explore changing terminology and dispel common misconceptions relating to LGBT+. Referencing the historical, social, cultural and legal context, we explore the experiences of LGBT+ individuals in Asia and the impact in the workplace. We also highlight best practices from companies across Asia.

For those companies ready to take proactive steps to create inclusive workplaces for LGBT+ employees or for companies wanting to take their LGBT+ inclusion efforts to the next level this session provides a comprehensive set of recommendations based on and closely aligned to Community Business’ groundbreaking LGBT+ Inclusion Index. We give an overview of each of the categories, drawing attention to areas for companies to focus on and highlighting what best practice looks like.
