The organizational and social work environment of LGTBQI+ persons
– Perspectives on how to develop an inclusive and healthy work environment
About this webinar
There is a lack of compiled information and systematic reviews concerned with research on LGTBQI+ persons’ work environment. The Swedish Agency for Work Environment Expertise (Mynak) has published a systematic review on the topic in June 2022.
The webinar will give the participants an overview of the research done within the field and of key factors for developing an inclusive work environment for LGTBQI+ persons as well as an opportunity to learn more on the content of the new handbook. The webinar also aims at inspiring participants in how to develop a more inclusive work environment at their own workplaces.
