𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐆𝐁𝐓𝐐𝐈𝐀+ 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭.
Hello folks!
I read an article on 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 and found it insightful.
Businesses have been implementing measures to 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐋𝐆𝐁𝐓𝐈𝐐+ (𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐧, 𝐠𝐚𝐲, 𝐛𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥, 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫, 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐱, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐫) 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞.
It is evident that when employees can be their true selves at work, they perform better and feel more involved. Studies indicate that openly expressing one's identity leads to higher job satisfaction, stronger commitment to staying, and greater emotional support from colleagues. On the other hand, staying hidden and concealing one's true self has negative consequences for both the individual and the company.

Companies such as Capgemini, Axis Bank, NatWest Group, Flipkart, Schneider Electric and Tata Steel are focusing on hiring, retaining and building a talent pool of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual (LGBTQIA+) people, accelerating their efforts in the ongoing Pride Month.
𝐓𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐥 has recruited more than 100 LGBTQ+ individuals over the past two years and has recently started focused recruitment drives for the community. It has hired members of the community for both white-collar and blue-collar roles, ranging from shop floor operations, heavy earth moving machinery operators to office jobs.
Where we promote inclusivity in today's world , organizations taking such steps to accelerate it is commendable. It's important for organizations to create a safe and welcoming environment where LGBTQ individuals can bring their whole selves to work. Implementing inclusive HR strategies, such as providing LGBTQ-inclusive policies, offering diversity and sensitivity training, and promoting LGBTQ employee resource groups, can help foster a culture of acceptance and support. By recognizing and valuing the unique perspectives and contributions of LGBTQ individuals, organizations can truly strive for inclusive excellence. 🌈
