Here are 4 easy-to-implement ways to be more inclusive of LGBTQ+ job applicants and employees.
To be more inclusive to LGBTQ+ potential hires and employees, it only takes a few steps:
1. When you’re interviewing, refer to the other person in their family as husband, wife, or spouse regardless of gender. That becomes a signal of inclusiveness.
2. Proactively start correcting the language of your team so that you take away some of the jokes, the wisecracks, and the comments that are heteronormative rather than being inclusive.
3. Be open to being corrected. You’re going to make mistakes too. I know I have, and it’s wonderful when someone trusts me enough to correct me.
4. Be inclusive of the spouse and the children in their family. In order to ensure that a company functions, everyone feels welcome.
Very simple stuff. Hope you find this helpful. Follow me, please.
