About 57% of workers report that their company does not have an LGBTQ+ employee resource group or similar support system, based on a survey by Monster.
Only 14% of LGBTQ+ workers are open about their sexual orientation and gender identity at work compared to 45% of straight or cisgender employees.
Nearly half of workers do not consider fostering open discussions about LGBTQ+ identities or expressions relevant in the workplace, but a quarter believe it's crucial for workplaces to encourage such dialogues.
To enhance LGBTQ+ comfort and inclusion at work, companies are advised to expand and communicate policy protections, an area where only 2% of workers have seen improvement since the current administration began.
