TOORScholarly interest in the workplace experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ+) employees has increased over the past decades (Velez, Adames, Lei, & Kerman, 2021;Byington, Tamm, & Trau, 2021). The research demonstrates the particular challenges that LGBTIQ+ individuals face, both in terms of access to work (e.g. gaining employment) and in terms of employees' opportunities to work to their full potential and to progress in their careers (Badgett, Lau, Sears, & Ho, 2007;Fric, 2017;McFadden, 2015;Velez et al., 2021). Likewise, organisational practitioners have become increasingly interested in concrete recommendations for establishing work environments where employees feel that they belong and can be themselves regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC). Hence, evidence-based insight is needed into how to create an LGBTIQ+ inclusive workplace. The research on LGBTIQ+ workplace inclusion is scattered, however, hampering the meaningful utilisation of insights in practice. Practitioners, on the other hand, often rely on copying the efforts of other organisations (so-called best practices), which are not always evidence-based
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
