Partnership
Out & Equal partners with hundreds of organizations to build the structure, intelligence, and community that make inclusion work.
Partner With the Experts in the
Business of Belonging™
For more than 25 years, Out & Equal has been the organization organizations call when the work gets hard, the environment shifts, and the answers aren’t in any playbook.
The Stakes Are Real. So Is the Opportunity.
Global employee engagement has hit its lowest point since the pandemic. Manager engagement has dropped nine points since 2022. More than half of CHROs say their culture no longer drives performance.
Belonging that holds under pressure requires architecture and governance. It is what happens when the right structure, the right intelligence, and the right community are in place before the pressure arrives. That is what Partnership with Out & Equal delivers.
What Partnership Delivers
No other organization is more capable or singularly focused on holistically supporting its Partners and their employees. Partnership is a relationship built on 25+ years of trust, a community no organization can build on its own, and intelligence that only exists because of the breadth of what Out & Equal convenes.
Real-Time Field Intelligence
The landscape shifts faster than any playbook can capture. Out & Equal convenes practitioners from across sectors, roles, and regions who are co-creating responses to challenges no one has fully mapped. Partners have access to that inclusion-related intelligence as it emerges.
In-House Policy
Expertise
Out & Equal’s team brings genuine depth in LGBTQ+ law, policy, research, and lived experience. When a legal question surfaces at 6am, when the policy landscape shifts mid-quarter, when a leader needs guidance that goes beyond a framework, this is the expertise Partners call.
Learning That Reflects Reality
Out & Equal delivered 580+ learning sessions to 12,500+ participants in 2025. The content is sector- and role-specific and grounded in what practitioners are currently navigating. Format and delivery evolve with the field.
A Community That Can’t Be Replicated
260+ organizations. 7 million employees represented. Partners include half of the Fortune 100, spanning every major sector and industry. The relationships, candor, and trust that exist within this community are the product. No organization builds that from scratch.
A Partnership That Gets Stronger Over Time
Partners become part of communities, advisory relationships, and year-round engagement that last and deepen over time. That is why Out & Equal’s Partner renewal rate is nearly 90%, and why the organizations that have been Partners longest tend to be the most engaged.
When Out & Equal was founded, we proudly declared that no one should have to choose between being out or equal in one of the most important places where we spend much of our lives: work. For some, that was a radical idea. But through our hundreds of business Partnerships, our global work to convene thousands of allies and community members, and our strategic approach of tying belonging to business results, Out & Equal has helped countless organizations make this once-radical idea a business imperative and a reality for people around the world.
