Out & Equal exists to help LGBTQ+ people thrive at work, and to support organizations in creating better workplace culture where everyone feels like they belong. Both of those goals are supported by our new partnership with the Korn Ferry Foundation in support of the Leadership U for Humanity program.

Investing in supporting LGBTQ+ leaders and in building strong leadership pipelines has a proven benefit, not just for individual employees but also for the engagement, job satisfaction, and morale of their teams – and ultimately for the strength of the entire organization.

Our partnership with the Korn Ferry Charitable Foundation is part of an effort to end underrepresentation in business leadership. We are thrilled to be the exclusive LGBTQ+-focused partner organization working to step up representation of LGBTQ+ leaders in business. We are committed to making sure that the diversity that exists within the LGBTQ+ community is also present in this program and in leadership roles. We know that the LGBTQ+ community is not a monolith. Our diversity includes sexual orientation and gender identity. It also includes people of every race, ethnicity, nationality, creed, or ability. We must continue to expand the pipeline with a keen eye to the intersectional impact of diverse leaders.
