National Inclusion Week | Study shows prevalence of non-inclusive behaviour in the workplace

It’s National Inclusion Week here in the UK and many businesses are celebrating the inclusivity of their employees through various manners, such as webinars, seminars, discussions and so much more. However, are these means enough to empower inclusivity within the workplace environment?

In the past few years, the notion of inclusivity in the workforce environment has gained crucial contraction with businesses across the UK shedding light on what they’re doing and what they can do to increase inclusivity within their business and across other brands as well.

On the other hand, recent research administered by Deloitte, titled ‘LGBT+ Inclusion @ Work 2022: A Global Outlook’ reveals an overall picture that shifts away from how businesses see it as adequate and that there is still a major act of exclusion put forth towards LGBT+ employees within the workforce.

As a matter of fact, 42% of employees reported that they have experienced non-inclusive behaviours at work. These results display that LGBT+ employees continue to experience non-inclusive behaviours at work, both in the office and virtually.
