5 Steps LGBTQ+ Employees Say Companies Can Take to Be More Inclusive |
Despite momentous leaps forward in LGBTQ+ rights over the past few decades, the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals in the workforce can range dramatically from one country — or even one company — to the next.
This unequal footing has left many LGBTQ+ people unsure where they stand at work and in the job market. A new LinkedIn survey of of over 1,000 LGBTQ+ working professionals in the U.S. found that almost a quarter of respondents (24%) are closeted at work because they feel their sexual orientation and gender identity could affect their career growth opportunities. Additionally, 23% do not feel safe sharing their sexual orientation and gender identity because of current events, such as anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, that are impacting the LGBTQ+ community.

Canadian Employers Willing To Hire Workers Without Direct Experience, Survey Says |
TORONTO - A new study shows Canadian employers are willing to hire workers without experience related to the job due to a tight labour market.The research released today indicates that experience and education — once crucial to many positions — are becoming less important amid labour shortages.
The findings are based on an online survey of 1,000 employers across Canada conducted in May by Censuswide on behalf of Indeed, an employment website for job listings.
The survey found 77 per cent of Canadian employers see value in hiring a candidate based on their "soft" interpersonal skills and attitude toward learning rather than job-related knowledge and "hard" skills.
