In this video, Joanne Lockwood, The Inclusive Culture Expert with SEE Change Happen, explores the economic implications of suppressing queer and trans identities in the workplace, a topic largely under-discussed yet significantly impactful. From startling stats showing how many LGBTQ+ employees feel the need to remain closeted at work to the effects this has on employee turnover, job performance, and innovation, we take a deep dive into this critical issue. But we don’t stop at identifying the problems.

We explore the power of inclusion and allyship, offering tangible solutions to foster a more supportive and profitable work environment. Join us as we uncover why being in the business of people means that everyone deserves to be their authentic selves at work, and how companies like Google are leading the charge in inclusivity.
