Feature
Business Feature Personal
LGBTQ is the acronym commonly used to address the lesbian, gay, double attraction, and transgender and queer/questioning community.
Workplace diversity has been en-vogue for some period but many companies are still grappling with defining what it implies for their organization, why communicating diversity is important and how to consistently and meaningfully include it as a priority in their talent management strategy.
