We foster an inclusive and open-minded environment, free of prejudice, where everyone can show their true, authentic selves.
Getting to Equal: Visible Growth, Invisible Fears
On the surface, LGBT+ employees in many parts of the world have progressed in the workplace. But our global research reveals that underneath this success, they are experiencing unseen challenges and privately held fears at work that are hindering their ability to thrive. More than half (57%) of LGBT+ employees believe their gender identity and expression or their sexual orientation has slowed their progress at work. And shockingly, only 14% of LGBT+ employees feel fully supported by their employer when it comes to issues like welcoming those who identify as LGBT+.
Under the slogan “Bring your authentic self to work” we actively support the LGBT*IQ community. We promote a working environment where everyone can be themselves – regardless of sexual orientation.
LGBT*IQ employees, together with colleagues from human resources and management, create various initiatives fostering our open culture.
An international network of LGBT*IQ allies stands up for the rights of LGBT*IQ members and equality

"To me, Pride means connection - connection to my fellow human beings, to my work, to the LGBTIQ+ community and to all the LGBTIQ+ pioneers who have paved the way for equality. Most importantly, it means one thing to me: connecting with myself."
— Sarah Steiger, LGBT Lead Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Russia
