Out Leadership’s key initiatives, thought leadership and research provides insights, tools and actionable advice to help business leaders navigate inclusion, and how to drive business success through equality.
Out Leadership has created and led the global conversation around inclusion on corporate boards. We convene senior leaders, provide tools, resources and research for leaders to drive change in representation & disclosure on boards, and to amplify the need for dramatically increased board-level diversity.
Allyship amongst business leaders has an enormous role to play in inclusion. Out Leadership published the first-ever global study of allyship, and has led the way in cultivating visible allies at all levels of businesses.
Attracting and retaining talent is one of the most important problems facing companies today. Out Leadership published the largest-ever global survey LGBTQ+ and ally talent, and runs the world’s first global talent program for emerging LGBTQ+ and ally leaders.
Out Leadership published the first-ever Self-ID guidelines for businesses that help companies gather the data needed to create LGBTQ+ and ally inclusive strategies.
Trans and nonbinary leaders face specific and ever-mounting challenges in the workplace and beyond. Out Leadership published the first-ever Business Leader’s Guide to Trans Equality in the United States to expand access for trans leaders and improve understanding among allies. In 2024, Out Leadership hosted the world's first Trans & Nonbinary business summit.
Out Leadership has crafted policies and tools that companies can use to drive equality and actionable change, ranging from OL-iQ, the world’s first global LGBTQ+ inclusion Self-iD diagnostic tool, to guidelines for inclusion on corporate boards, to how to make the trans community feel seen and included.
Business leaders must understand the state of equality in every place they do business. Out Leadership’s US State CEO Briefs, and Business Climate Index are essential tools to help business leaders understand the climate for LGBTQ+ individuals in every US State.
These 25 country CEO briefs ensure that business leaders are aware of the laws and other regulations that impact LGBTQ+ people in each country, so leaders can make informed decisions about doing business there.
