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. The webinar also aims at inspiring participants in how to develop a more inclusive work environment at their own workplaces.
