LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary individuals face unique workplace challenges, ranging from higher discrimination rates to weaker ties between their identity and career (in comparison to their straight and cisgender colleagues). However, there is little to no extensive research on this topic in today’s literature.
Through this white paper, Out Leadership is starting to fill these research gaps. We hope to continue utilizing findings from existing regional and cross-industry data, as well as conduct a pulse study on the specific workplace experience for this intersection of LGBTQ+ talent.
