Creating an inclusive and respectful workplace depends on awareness, understanding, and consistent support. Allyship involves taking active steps to support LGBTQ+ people in the workplace. This includes learning about gender identity and sexual orientation, being aware of the effects of exclusion, and understanding how language, behaviour, and culture can impact others.
In the workplace, LGBTQ+ inclusion can be promoted through education, inclusive policies, respectful language, and by creating spaces where people of all identities feel empowered to thrive. A workplace that values diversity helps people feel safe, contribute fully, and perform at their best.
Our LGBTQ+ Awareness e-learning module helps employees learn about the experiences of LGBTQ+ colleagues and supports the development of a culture where everyone feels recognised and respected.
This course is tailored for employees at all levels and takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.
