Gay Games Hong Kong 2022 would
like to wish you a very Happy New Year! As we begin a fresh chapter in
the new year, many are seeking to create resolutions to better
themselves. Typically these resolutions are personal goals, such as
losing weight, quitting a bad habit, and/or learning a new skill-- but
why stop there? This year, why not work to create a more inclusive
workplace environment for all?! Workplaces that have policies
specifically protecting employees who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgendered (LGBT+) against discrimination are not yet common in Asia,
which makes working to support these minorities even more important.
Whether you own your own company, are a business leader, or are one of
the working billions just trying to keep a roof over your head-- these
simple steps can help everyone feel welcome and included. Are you ready
for company morale to go through the roof?! Read on…
Be an equal opportunity employer.
Ensure
your hiring process and work policies are focused on being an equal
opportunity employer. By focusing on what your employees and colleagues
can bring to the table in terms of talent and skill, you will attract a
more diverse talent pool. Having a well-rounded team can boost business
performance, as well as employee engagement and morale. Being an equal
opportunity employer ensures a diverse business that can represent the
clients they serve in the most effective manner possible.
Create a safe workplace for all employees
Start
by developing clear anti-discrimination policies, then enforce them
consistently and fairly. When an employee comes to you with a complaint,
promptly investigate the issue. Last but not least, learn ways to
de-escalate tense situations and come to a peaceful resolution,
especially around issues of diversity.
Support local LGBT+ resources, and PRIDE events
Gather
employees who are interested in attending these events and go as a
group! Not only are you supporting diversity, but you are also promoting
your business and letting the local community know that you are a safe
place to purchase and/or do business with. Win-Win
It’s the right thing to do
Lastly,
creating an inclusive workplace environment for all is simply the right
thing to do in general. Driving diversity matters for all of us- not
only the LGBT+ community. Diversity and equality for all should be the
norm, rather than the exception.
We’d also like to say Thank You to Community Business,
for their dedication to advancing responsible and inclusive business
practices in Asia. These are the people behind the Hong Kong LGBT+
Inclusion Index & Awards, which has been an ongoing pioneering
initiative since 2015. The 2019 Hong Kong LGBT+ Inclusion Index is currently open for submissions.
