Out & Equal’s Global Impact Program drives LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion and belonging worldwide through strategic partnerships, culturally relevant expertise, thought leadership, and localized programming. The mission is to support Partners’ efforts globally, focusing on Asia-Pacific (APAC), Latin America (LATAM), and the US Southern States with growing investments in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
Through our advisory services and thought leadership, Out & Equal’s Global Impact Program:
- Provides access to regional business inclusion councils and practitioners councils, connecting companies with local experts and thought leaders.
- Publishes in-depth survey reports on gaps between corporate policies and LGBTQ+ employees’ lived experiences across LATAM and APAC.
- Conducts regular intelligence tracking and reporting on globally relevant LGBTQ+ workplace trends.
- Creates multilingual resources to support Partner companies’ global LGBTQ+ inclusion efforts.
Examples of our global resources and research include:
- India’s Marriage Equality Loss and its Impact on the Business Community: Following India’s five-judge Constitution bench ruling in a 3-2 decision against marriage equality, Out & Equal, in partnership with Pride Circle, developed a report outlining how businesses can continue to play an integral role in advancing LGBTQ+ inclusion in India and throughout the region.
- Necessary Change: Achieving Full LGBTQI+ Workplace Inclusion in Argentina: A joint project of the LGBTQI+ Chamber of Commerce of Argentina (CCGLAR) and Out & Equal, this research demonstrates that many employers across Argentina are wholly lacking in clear policies and practices to support LGBTQI+ inclusion and provides employers with practical ways to make concrete change.
We also amplify our thought leadership and expertise by bringing together leaders from across industries at regional events to address and develop strategies to future-proof their businesses and meet their organizational objectives in regionally specific contexts.
Learnings and discussions focus on innovative approaches to LGBTQ+ inclusion policies and practices that incorporate notable in-country efforts and advancements in LGBTQ+ equality in specific legal contexts and in the face of grave obstacles like violence and social exclusion in some locales.
