The top 6 companies for LGBTQ employees

Published Updated 2 Min Read

Diversity and inclusion has been a top priority for employers, especially as younger generations dominate the workforce and demand greater responsibility from their employers in promoting equality.

However, despite greater acceptance and recognition of the LGBTQ community, the workplace is still an isolating place for many. About 46% of LGBTQ workers say they are closeted at work, according to data from the Human Rights Campaign, and 53% of LGBTQ employees say they occasionally hear workplace jokes about lesbian or gay people.

The tech giant has a number of partnerships with organizations that work to protect LGBTQ employees from discrimination. The company also promotes LGBTQ inclusion in its marketing materials. Google has several ERGs dedicated to the LGBTQ community.

“The Gayglers lead the way in celebrating Pride around the world, but also informs programs and policies, so that Google remains a workplace that works for everyone,” the ERG says on its website.
