Why organisations prioritise LGBTQIA+ inclusion
Many organisations recognise the importance of creating safer environments for LGBTQIA+ staff, clients and customers - but it can sometimes be difficult to know what meaningful inclusion looks like in practice.
Research consistently shows that when people feel safe to be open about who they are at work, teams thrive. Organisations see stronger collaboration, greater creativity, improved staff retention and healthier workplace cultures.
Organisations prioritise LGBTQIA+ inclusion to:
• Meet legal obligations, including responsibilities under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984, Positive Duty reforms and state anti-discrimination legislation
• Fulfil workplace health and safety duties, including providing psychological and physical safety under Work Occupational, Health and Safety laws
• Reduce the risk of discrimination, harassment and gendered violence
• Strengthen reputation and build trust with clients, customers and communities
• Create healthier, happier and more effective teams
