The ups and downs of LGBs' workplace experiences
| Description | The findings of this study were released at a conference for practitioners and policy-makers at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch in Canary Wharf where a report of key findings: 'The ups and downs of LGBs' workplace experiences' was made available in print and digital copy formats on study website. Public relations associated with the report launch generated considerable interest in the media, including The Independent and HR press. The study's key findings were discussed in invited addresses by representatives from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), and in statements by panellists representing large organisations within public and private sectors, case-study organisations from the study, policy-making bodies and LGB advocacy organisations such as Stonewall and Lesbian & Gay Federation (LGF). Among key issues highlighted with potential for impact were the following: 1. Due to its scale and robust methodology, the report (study) documented more accurately than any previous LGB studies the realities of LGB employees' experiences in British workplaces, particularly adverse and negative experiences. 2. The thought-provoking nature of many of the findings and commentaries such as the disclosure process, sexualisation and negative stereotyping of LGBs as well as homophobia, challenged key aspects of current academic thinking and practitioner understanding. 3. The insights provided by focus groups in our case studies of heterosexuals' understanding of LGB workplace experiences sparked discussion and reflection on policy development and enactment in general, and more specifically on workplace conduct and behaviour and the role of managers in setting standards and ensuring these are upheld, if necessary though intervention. Follow-up events have taken place particularly aimed at HR practitioners, including a workshop at the House of Lords for the CIPD's national Senior Diversity Managers' Network. Other organisational initiatives aimed at discussion, training and education are in train in several sectors, e.g. the Royal Navy, the Civil Service and the Department of Health, utilising our materials to stimulate discussion. In the NHS, ongoing consultation with the researchers concerning more effectively addressing LGB issues are taking place with senior management. The importance of fostering senior LGB role-models has been adopted by the organisation Outstanding, a network for LGBT executives, where a study of their experiences on company boards has been developed in conjunction with the research team and is currently seeking funding. LGB networks within several trade unions have used the findings to revise practices in consultation with members of the research team. Two motions emerging from study findings were passed at the TUC Conference in 2015 aiming to bring LGBs' workplace experiences to the attention of the trade union movement for action to improve LGB employee experiences. Internationally, the findings have been presented and discussed at events organised by the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Norwegian Equality and Discrimination Ombud, a Canadian trade union and at various international academic conferences. In particular, among researchers and practitioners of workplace bullying and harassment, our study has brought new insights and stimulated new research projects into LGB employees (e.g. Spain and Japan). In 2016 the findings were reported and discussed at the annual conference of health and Safety professionals organised by IOSH. Outside the UK the findings were reported as part of presentations to the regional Government of Manitoba, Canada and to the HR Society in Dubai. Moreover, following the completion of the LGB study Hoel (PI) has been co-chairing the development of a British Standard on Diversity and Inclusion (BS76005). Hoel is currently involved with the International Standards Organization (ISO) in developing a Global standard on Diversity and Inclusion. |

| Results and Impact | The aim of this, and future, pilots is to develop a model of delivery that will encourage students across different disciplines to engage with diverse perspectives on workplace ethics through a focus on decision making in the workplace. The Workplace Ethics part of the programme will be rolled out to all final year students in 2017/18. The worshop included a 30-40 minute exercise that draws on our 2014 report: 'The ups and downs of LGBs' workplace experiences'. Students will be asked to evaluate in groups the assumptions being made by respondents to 'Amir's Story'. Their discussion will form the basis for reflecting on their own perceptions & behaviours towards colleagues in the workplace. If this pilot is successful we aim to develop the workshop resources into a series of filmed or illustrated scenarios. N/A - forthcoming event February 2015 |
