India LGBT+ Workplace Inclusion Assessment

Indeed as Indian society comes to terms with a new era of openness and acceptance towards sexual minorities – a culture change that will not happen overnight, there is an important and critical role that companies can play.  In taking proactive steps to create inclusive workplaces for LGBT+ employees, companies can act as catalysts of change – both in their own organisations and beyond.

In 2019 we published our LGBT+ Inclusion in India – The Definitive Guide. This in-depth research combines our deep knowledge of this subject with local insights to provide companies in India with a comprehensive resource to support their LGBT+ inclusion strategy in India.  Importantly it includes a robust set of recommendations, illustrated with examples of best practice.  As the corporate sector in India seeks to make progress on LGBT+ workplace inclusion,  we have captured our unique expertise to develop a consultancy tool designed to help individual companies move towards best practice, differentiating themselves in the marketplace.

Our LGBT+ Workplace Inclusion Assessment is an online self-assessment tool that supports companies to embed LGBT+ inclusion deep into their heart of their organisation in India. Structured around nine categories, the tool presents a strategic framework of best practice indicators for companies to assess their performance against. As part of this consultancy offering, companies can engage Community Business to analyse the results, provide an individual company report and conduct a personalised Debrief & Strategy Session to help develop a roadmap moving forward.

Here are 5 reasons why you should participate in our India LGBT+ Workplace Inclusion Assessment:

1. Leverage a robust framework to understand and assess extent to which your company is adopting LGBT+ inclusion best practice.
2. Engage key stakeholders in your company to ensure joint commitment to your LGBT+ Inclusion strategy.
3. Identify areas for improvement and build a roadmap for the way forward.
4. Get expert and customised advice from Community Business, the established leading LGBT+ experts in Asia.
5. Position yourself for success to participate in a public index or benchmarking exercise.
    

"Community Business’ LGBT+ Inclusion Assessment is a comprehensive and structured approach to assessing an organisation’s journey towards LGBT+ inclusion. The framework is extensive and allows an organisation to assess where they are on different areas of LGBT+ inclusion from a strategic point of view, reflecting on current trends and best practices in the marketplace. A great tool for an Employee Resource Group to refer to as they support the business in achieving diversity and inclusion goals."
