Like you, we at Out & Equal are grappling with the new reality of operating effectively during a global pandemic. Our mission – to support workplaces of belonging and to help LGBTQ employees thrive – is too important for us to pause or slowdown in any way.
In fact, that work is all-the-more important now: If workplaces do not work towards cultures of belonging – if we are divided, suspicious or devaluing of our differences – then the toll of this crisis and feelings of disconnect will only deepen and widen.
Organizations are in the middle of a major stress-test of their systems. Leaders must be strong and forward-looking enough to know that inclusion and belonging are not simply optional or even factors in a competitive advantage, they are imperative for business continuity.
Here are resources for our partner organizations to understand Out & Equal’s approach:
