White paper: Stonewall Top 100 Employers

The Stonewall Top 100 Employers list is compiled from the Workplace Equality Index – the UK’s leading benchmarking tool for LGBT inclusion in the workplace. Completing the Workplace Equality Index is a voluntary, annual exercise which enables employers to measure, verify and improve their inclusion practice.

White paper: Stonewall Top 100 Employers 1

In addition to details about the UK’s top employers for LGBT inclusion, it also includes key findings from its Staff Feedback Questionnaire. This year the survey received a total of 109,928 responses.

Key findings

  • 86% of gay and lesbian respondents, and 71% of bi respondents, and 63% of trans respondents said they felt able to be themselves in the workplace.
  • Only half of trans respondents and half of bi respondents felt that their workplace culture was inclusive of them compared to 83% of lesbian and gay respondents.
  • 69% of lesbian and gay respondents agreed that senior leaders demonstrate a visible commitment to lesbian and gay equality. Fewer than half of bi and trans respondents agreed that senior leaders demonstrate support for bi and trans equality
  • 82% of respondents said their workplace had an LGBT network group. Of these respondents, 79% thought the group was a valuable and effective asset to their workplace.

The paper notes the best employers: strive to create an inclusive environment where all LGBT people can flourish; understand that when people are forced to hide parts of their identity, their performance suffers; and actively communicate their commitment to LGBT equality to all employees.
