Building Better: How to Include, Celebrate, and Support LGBTQ+ Employees in the Workplace

Building Better is Drift’s quarterly webinar series, where we take an honest look at the ongoing evolution of workplace culture. This series is part of Drift’s commitment to creating a diverse and equitable workforce.

According to a recent study by the Human Rights Campaign, 46% of LGBTQ+ workers say they are closeted at work. And 53% of LGBTQ+ workers report hearing derogatory jokes or remarks about lesbian or gay people at least once in the workplace.

The reason that workers don’t report these comments? They don’t think anything will be done about it. 

So, how can we create a more inclusive workplace that allows individuals to bring their most authentic selves to work every day without fear of backlash or ostracization?

Join Drift, Gong, Canvas, and Go Nimbly for an open and honest conversation about inclusion at all levels within your organization and why it should matter to every company. 

During this webinar you’ll learn:

  • #1 Best practices for creating a more inclusive workplace
  • #2 Ways to identify cues that an employer is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment
  • #3 Steps any individual or company can take to demonstrate solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community
