'Be in learning mode': How employees — and employers — can navigate coming out as LGBTQ at work (via CNBCMakeIt)
Speaking to CNBC, the CEO of global HR consulting firm Randstad, Sander van 't Noordende, said employers need to do more to create an inclusive and open workplace for LGBTQ employees.
For those thinking about coming out to their colleagues, there are a few considerations that could help you in the process, according to Anna Clark-Miller, founder and coach at Empathy Paradigm, a U.S.-based LGBTQ mental-health consultancy. "Typically, a lot of clients will come out to one person first — someone inclusive or perhaps LGBTQ themselves," said Clark-Miller.
Once you have someone in your corner, cheering you on, it will hopefully become easier to plan your next steps; whether that's telling your boss, HR manager, or wider team, Clark-Miller added. That includes helping staff feel secure not just in their job but also psychologically, said Clark-Miller. Employers should also encourage staff to report anything that makes them feel uncomfortable at work. That may not be something that crosses an official boundary, but something that they find personally offensive. After all, "comments that are hurtful to the LGBTQ community are not necessarily outright prejudice but, rather, lack education," said Clark-Miller.
