Lack of training impacts discrimination against sexual minorities in the workplace
recent survey conducted by compliance and DEI eLearning
A specialists , VinciWorks , has found that over half ( 56 %) of HR and DEI managers are not yet carrying out any training around sexual orientation within their organisations . Furthermore , 62 % of HR and DEI managers have witnessed discrimination against sexual minorities in the workplace . The surveyed managers were based in the UK , US , Europe and India .
Almost a quarter of those surveyed ( 23 %) revealed they had witnessed this type of discrimination several times , while only one-third ( 33 %) had not seen any discrimination against LGBTQ + employees .
Only a quarter ( 25 %) of HR and DEI managers plan to roll out sexual orientation training to their employees to combat discrimination in the workplace in the near future , but barely a fifth ( 22 %) of those questioned are undertaking the recommended training every year .
While over half ( 57 %) of HR and DEI managers think their organisations provide a significant amount of support to LGBTQ + employees in their workplace , 43 % of those surveyed admitted they feel their organisations are not very supportive . This highlights the substantial amount of work that still needs to be done to make sexual minorities feel comfortable in the workplace .
“ Regular training on sexual orientation also supports staff to know how to speak to colleagues and clients with more sensitivity , more understanding and also challenge those potentially biased . People should be able to bring their whole selves to work and that includes LGBTQ + people ,” said Nick Henderson-Mayo , Head of D & I at VinciWorks .
