“I worked with Robert for many years in different capacities, mainly Human Resources and Training/Development. Robert has always been someone I could count on to get the information I needed and to get the job done, no matter what was involved. Working with Robert as a Regional Director of Training, he always brought great insight and direction to any project. It was always a pleasure working with him and I knew he would be able to not only handle, but excel at any project or endeavor. ”

What are some creative ways to communicate culture change vision besides email and meetings?
Think about how you show the data you want to tell by choosing the story that makes sense for the situation. For example, if you are thinking about sharing your employee engagement data, is simply putting PowerPoint slides together with no journey really the optimal solution? You have to think about what is the journey and story you want to share. Potentially, it is a video or a PowerPoint with the journey.

LGBTQ Inclusion in the Workplace: An Understanding of Hiring and Promotional Practices
ProQuest Dissertations Publishing
The primary problem of this study was to understand the lived experiences of lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees in the workplace and their
opportunities for hiring and promotions within an organization. The purpose of this qualitative
phenomenological study was to explore the lived experience of why organizations do not fully
utilize their self-identification for LGBTQ employees the same way they use diversity criteria for
hiring and talent…The primary problem of this study was to understand the lived experiences of lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees in the workplace and their
opportunities for hiring and promotions within an organization. The purpose of this qualitative
phenomenological study was to explore the lived experience of why organizations do not fully
utilize their self-identification for LGBTQ employees the same way they use diversity criteria for
hiring and talent practices. This study used qualitative research methods to gather data from
interviews, surveys and focus groups that contain direct quotes from either people who identified
as LGBTQ, worked in HR, or worked on diversity and inclusion initiatives within their
organization. The findings of this study were demonstrated by themes that found selfidentification options during the employee recruitment phase were linked with greater hiring
intention from the perception of the participants in this study. This analysis and its findings add
to the collection of literature that advocates for further inclusive behaviors for the LGBTQ
community in not only employment but all aspects of their lives. The overall findings of this
study revealed the effects of LGBTQ diversity and inclusion on internal movement and the
perception of LGBTQ employees
