It's clear that when employees bring their authentic selves to the workplace, they become more productive and enjoy a deeper sense of job satisfaction. Yet a Harvard Business Review Study has found that 68% of LGBTQ+ employees still chose to not come out at work.

To learn how your business can help create a more inclusive workplace for employees, join us for our first Virtual Pride Showcase on 10 June 2021!

We're delighted to announce Dame Inga Kristine Beale, DBE, Kellie Maloney, Mohsin Zaidi who will share their expert advice on how to champion inclusivity in the workplace all brought together by the host for the event Dean McCullough.
