Description

Despite recent progress creating more-welcoming environments for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees, fully 48% of LGBT respondents surveyed report remaining "closeted" at work. Research shows that they are less likely than "out" workers to be promoted and more likely to leave their job within three years. For talent managers, creating a hospitable climate for all workers should be a key goal.
