| Absztrakt | Workplace Pride is pleased to present the Global
Benchmark edition of our bi-annual magazine,
“New Horizons for LGBT Workplace Inclusion”.
This edition takes a detailed look at the results of
the 2016 Global Benchmark Survey which scores
participating organizations on their international
LGBT policies and practices.
Now in its 3rd year, the Global Benchmark has
come to symbolize the desire and even the need
for internationally-active organizations to reach
beyond borders and address LGBT workplace
topics for their employees, clients, and many other
stakeholders.
As an indication of the importance of this topic,
the 2016 edition of the Benchmark has seen a large
increase in the number of participants from 21 in
2015 to 30 in 2016. Remaining at the crest of the
international workplace LGBT inclusion wave, and
setting the tone for leadership in this field is IBM
which, for the 3rd year in a row, and with a score of
89.11%, is the top scoring participant.
In addition to the Global Benchmark results, this
edition showcases a number of our international
partners around the world. Although active in
different cultures and legal settings, together we
are all striving for the same goal of greater LGBT
inclusion in the workplace.
Finally, ongoing and developing initiatives of
Workplace Pride, such as our women and youth
programs, plus the Chair at Leiden University, will
be explained in more detail to demonstrate both
the personal element and the breadth of this topic.
Workplace Pride applauds all organizations that
have taken part in the 2016 Global Benchmark.
Through their support for LGBT workplace
inclusion and willingness to demonstrate
leadership, they encourage all stakeholders to
continue the momentum and create change that is
both realistic and sustainable.
