Resourcing | Vodafone launches new recruitment programme to attract LGBT+ talent

Vodafone is launching a new programme to help recruit and retain LGBT+ candidates.

The announcement follows research from Vodaphone and Out Now which found that more than half (58%) of young LGBT+ people are not open about their sexual orientation or gender identity at work because they worry they will face discrimination. One in three (31%) LGBT+ people said they went ‘back into the closet’ when they started their first job.
