Work Environment

LGBTA Dept: Businesses have made great strides around the challenges LGBTA employees face in the workplace in the last 10 years. But there's no start or end point on the inclusiveness journey. It's up to companies to continue working with their employees to open up opportunities to people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, genders and orientation, according to Vancouver Sun. And in this day and age, creating an inclusive work environment isn't just a "nice to have." It's a business imperative and with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allies LGBTA uniting for Pride in Vancouver this week, there's no better time to take a hard look at what your company is doing to foster an inclusive work environment - and ask yourself, "Is this working?" An inclusive work environment respects each and every staff member for the skills and talents they contribute and the impact they make - and each person is expected to demonstrate that respect for others every day. But more than anything, an inclusive environment is about valuing diverse view points, experiences, styles and thoughts. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
