This month celebrates Pride 2018, and when you consider that it’s 2018 and over 25% of gay, lesbian or bisexual employees in the UK do not feel confident enough at work to be openly who they are, it’s incredibly alarming. Read below about the challenges the LGBTQ+ community face and how we foster inclusive and supportive working environments.
Engaging employees with learning content is a challenge that many of the CEOs and HR Directors we speak to face. Whether it’s compliance based training, diversity training or skills training, employees often attach a stigma to training courses, treating them as a tick-box exercise they get little value from.
