The Evolution of LGBTQIA+ Personnel in the American Workplace

Abstract

This paper highlights the organizational diversity challenges current firms and institutions face, such as LGBTQIA+ personnel in the workforce. Therefore, this research aims to provide recommendations for effectively using communication and mentoring skills in a diverse workplace. As a result, organizations should utilize the best practices to establish an inclusive and diverse workforce. The implications of the findings emphasize a literature gap on how corporations can create an inclusive workplace for all employees, regardless of their sexual orientation. Importantly, the significance of the results will raise further questions about the notion of marginalized employees in work settings. Overall, the research on the LGBTQIA+ community in work environments is notable and must be studied to spread awareness of the value that these personnel bring in the workplace.
