LGBT Allies : The Power of Friends / Ian Johnson

I. Johnson

Allies in this research were drawn widely from many and varied sources and countries. There were a total of 2,584 respondents to the research and these people came from 60 countries. Most respondents are heterosexual, yet comparisons between these respondents and their LGBT colleagues reveals that there is work to be done in helping heterosexual Allies of LGBT people better appreciate issues faced by LGBT people - and how to best react to assist their effective inclusion at work. This report considers the still relatively untapped potential to unlock more of the savings and productivity gains identified in that earlier report through better activation of the potential readily available in most workplaces via LGBT Allies. This report includes sub-sample analyses of the data collected in several sections. These include location, employer size and sexual orientation of respondents.
